Outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2011)

"I laughed, I cried - it was much better than Cats..." Seriously, this movie is a gem - Gordon-Levitt in particular delivers an outstanding performance, and Rogen's humor is a great counterbalance to the serious subject matter of the move - while it could be perilous, the mixture of buddy film and drama really works here. Very good supporting cast, including a combination of faces that you'll recognize (Anjelica Huston as Adam's mother, Philip Baker Hall as a fellow patient are wonderful) as well as great newcomers like Anna Kendrick. And all of that with a measly $8M budget - it helps that Rogen was on-board, but still a great accomplishment.
