This is not an ordinary drama.

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2012)

Movies about illness are expected to be sentimental and dramatic. But the director Jonathan Levine blended this true story with comedy aspect and turned it to a movie. The main character Adam suffers from backache and goes to doctor. Then he learns that he has a cancer which is a rare one.Basically,movie centered about Adam's struggle with cancer, relationship with his friend and family.
Joseph Gordon Levit, who plays the role of Adam,generally act coolheaded,ordinary people who leads a plain life.Adam's kinda resembles Levit's Tom character in 500 Days of Summer. These two kind of characters are cut out for Levit,and he make the best of it.In addition to that Seth Rogen ,who plays Kyle,performs outstanding in the movie as Adam's best friend.He adds humor to movie with his character,and he well to his role.Also director Jonathan Levine made the right choice to choose this cast.Except from Levit and Rogen,movie has well known actresses and actors such as Bryce Dallas Howard,Anjelica Huston,Anna Kendrick,Serge Houde,Andrew Airlie and so on.
All in all,you can get carried away with this movie and empathize with Adam.So do not except a plain movie about an illness just sit back and watch it.
