50/50 was inspired by the life of the screenwriter Will Reiser, Seth Rogen's friend, who was diagnosed with the same cancer. Given the seriousness of the topic, they managed to make an awesome movie that made me laugh and cry. The laughs are appropriate and does not trivialize the seriousness of cancer. The journey of dealing with cancer that Adam and the people around him takes is very realistically portrayed and all the actors did an amazing job. Overall, it is a heartwarming film that focuses on friendships, feelings, and love.
50/50 is in theatres on Friday, September 30, 2011. Go see it.
