Review of 50/50 (2011) by Nedryerson1 — 24 Feb 2012
50/50 is a strange movie, how can it be categorized of comedy a movie about a man fighting against cancer? It is absolutely insubstantial, although it does not lose its depressing part, but the emotion of the film is broken by stupid jokes of teenagers.
The things that saved the picture are the performance of Joseph Gordon Levitt and the form the film shows the way of living a life with cancer. This is remarkable because is extremely realistic; in other words, the things that Adam start doing when the doctor diagnosed him cancer are the same that everyone would probably do.
You wont get out of the hospital planning to take what remains of life; you will denied that you are fine, get angry with the world and God, you will discovered who your true friends are and refuge in what you find first.
If all this were not interrupted by the silly relationship that is going nowhere with the girlfriend, the pointless sessions with the psychologist and the friend that does not know if to help or not Adam; this movie could be in the top ten of the year.
