50/50

Adam finds out that he has a rare form of cancer, and even though he is only in his late twenties he only has a 50% chance of surviving the cancer. Starring Joseph Gordon Levitt, Seth Rogan, Anna Kendrick, and Bryce Dallas Howard.

This is one of the best movies I've seen a while, I can't remember the last time a movie made me laugh so hard, but also cry like a baby. This movie is such a realistic look about a young man dealing with cancer and the gamut of emotions that follow and how his illness affects his friends and family.

I don't want to ruin the ending, but there were certainly some things you should see coming from a mile a way. Adam's relationship with Katherine shouldn't come as a surprise, and the ending is a little too typical, but it ends the way it does because that's how we want it to.

JGL is adorable, I couldn't stand his long hair when he was Tommy from Third Rock from the Sun (good show, oh how I love John Lithgow). But I am really happy that he is getting some good roles these days. Seth Rogan was really funny in this movie, he's back to Knocked Up form when we first saw him on the big screen and laughed and laughed. Bryce is a beautiful woman, she could have done more with her character, but it works. And Anna Kendrick we first saw in Twilight, but she is becoming much more than the franchise. She was nominated for an Oscar for her Up in the Air performance, and she was sweet and funny and vulnerable in 50/50. She has this Kristen Wiig sort of delivery that is short and awkward and fast and lovable.

A really good movie.
