This film succeeds is because it feels honest

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2018)

50/50 could have been a dark, bleak movie or a sappy, manipulative fairytale. Instead, this film manages to walk the fine line between drama and comedy quite well. It presents a realistic look at a life-changing event, with excellent performances by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anna Kendrick. Seth Rogen plays his usual, irreverent self. I think the reason that this film succeeds is because it feels honest.
