Joseph Gordon-Levitt

50/50 tells the storyline of Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a 27-year-old healthy guy who's going to be very unexpectedly informed they have an uncommon form of spinal cancer. He's a 50/50 prospects for survival. The film follows Adam because he must take care of not merely facing his cancer, however his overbearing mother (Angelica Huston), a goofy best ally (Seth Rogen) who would like to feel that everything will probably be fine, a bitchy girlfriend (Bryce Dallas Howard) who sucks at life, and after this a therapist (Anna Kendrick) he’s forced to discover on the cancer center.


Cancer and comedy are an unlikely pair, but the movie is not a straight comedy. It’s addressed within a tasteful matter, using comedy being a coping mechanism. Adam’s cancer helps him realize what and who are important in their life. It moves along in a decent pace, especially with its great soundtrack (Radiohead and Pearl Jam included).  Jonathan Levine directed the movie, that has only directed the next feature film, The Wackness, which i have sometimes seen yet. It’s published by Will Reiser, who even offers not had much experience: he’s previously only written one short. Kudos to both of them for collaborating and setting up a decent film.


The cast surely helped with that. Gordon-Levitt plays the same sort of sad, likable character that he does in 500 Days of Summer, except with additional depth. For most from the film he or she is very subdued to the point where he’s have got to explode eventually – which he does. His most powerful scene, though, occurs before he assumes surgery on the end in the film and hubby finally gives in and shows how incredibly scared he is to die. Rogen also flaunts his acting chops by serious moments as Kyle. He gave the look of he would definitely be somewhat annoying at the beginning of the film but becomes completely enjoyable with his loyalty to his closest friend and naturally, great comedic timing. I actually laughed out loud lots over the whole movie.


Overall, the film was entertaining with a decent storyline and good actors, but it really was without some areas – like character development. Adam would be the lead character who writes radio programs. We learn that he's enthusiastic about radio nevertheless it never really progresses to obtain any meaning. His mother, Diane (Huston), is wonderful but absent for some of the middle of the film, so their relationship is a touch weak. Rachel will be the worst, but shouldn’t there be SOMETHING good about her to produce us feel sick for hating her?        50/50 tells the tale of Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a 27-year-old healthy guy who's going to be very unexpectedly informed they have an exceptional kind of spinal cancer.
