Teave selle filmi kohta

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen team up to beat the odds in a film that Peter Travers ofRolling Stone calls "achingly hilarious and heartfelt." Diagnosed with spinal cancer, 27-year-old Adam (Gordon-Levitt) navigates the road to recovery with the sometimes overbearing support of his crude best friend (Rogen), his smothering mother (Anjelica Huston) and an inexperienced therapist (Anna Kendrick). Inspired by the true story, 50/50 is an honest yet hysterically funny account of a young man's journey toward healing.

I've had cancer myself, and I've had multiple family members die from it. This film is filled with brutal yet funny truth. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is terrific, and to my surprise, I even really liked Seth Rogan -- he's hit or miss for me, but was just right in this film. I watched it shortly after my dad died from bladder cancer, and was laughing through the tears. I highly recommend it.

My dad was on dialysis and this is pretty much how it was for him. Some days he was ok, others he's vomiting and some just made him hate the world. The thing is, he still found the happy moments in it. Good or bad, life is life. Do your best with what you have and don't let others drag you down with them. We all need real friends like Seth rogen in this movie and a person like Toms mother to love you even if you hate them for it at times. :3

We all address trying circumstances in detrimental health complications, which humanizes the protagonist's grasp of his futility and inevitable death under a 50/50 survival. The comedy alleviated the morose content, which was highly appreciative that subverted my expectations without succumbing to a needlessly pessimistic examination of life, death, and aftermath of trial.
