more like 5/50

Rating: 4/10 (1 February 2012)

Joseph Gordon Levitt puts a fairly decent performance as a writer suffering a rare spinal cancer and how it affects his life. In truth this movie is really a gross interpretation about facing life with cancer. It is apparent why this movie didn't win any of the two awards it was nominated for at the 69th Golden Globes awards. 50/50 is just plain dull, totally uninspiring and inflicted with a cheesy soundtrack . The main character get the ladies at his feet, even his coincidently young and beautiful therapist...Wow! The required 'funny and foul mouthed' best buddy role goes to Seth Rogen. You can say that this film better represents the budding cancer of American film industry relying too much on meta critic scores.
