Review of 50/50 (2011) by Irfaan J — 05 Sep 2013
A very touching film with great writing.
Anjelica Huston and Joseph Gordon-Levitt give great performances but I believe Seth Rogen was a terrible choice as Adam's best friend.
You do get a few laugh out loud moments, plenty of chuckles and aww's, and you may even cry once or twice, but this film still does not fulfill the job of winning me over because there is no originality that separates it from any other "bonding for the better" film "during a tragic time.".
Overall, for me, 50/50 somewhat succeeded with keeping my attention and even making me cry a couple times, but the very ending was terribly cliche like any other happy-go-luck film. See it and you'll know.
50/50, I give you a 60%.
