Must not have been for me...

Rating: 6/10 (19 April 2014)

This film scored a 7.8 on IMDb. Awesome. I'm glad others liked it, because it had good actors who did their jobs very well. But in my opinion, 50/50 was only somewhat funny- well, it had funny parts to it. A so/so movie. Joseph Gordon Levitt is one of my favorite actors, and he did a great job here, but, to me, that still couldn't make 50/50 a great film. Seth Rogen played his usual humorous part, and I do like that the writers/director incorporated that humor into what would have been a horribly sad movie otherwise. Luckily, I and those close to me have never been diagnosed with a terminal illness, so I could never question the authenticity of that portrayal. But his slow decline in health seemed very realistic. So, for this film, others' reviews may be more helpful, because my lack of love for this movie seems to be an opinion i stand alone by!
