Boring

Rating: 4/10 (5 October 2013)

'50/50' is a film that I really wanted to like but ultimately it was a complete bore and I struggled to watch it all.
Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, I had high hopes as I really like both the actors. I have nothing bad to say about their performances but throughout the film you just don't feel any emotional attachment to JGL and SR is kinda just there for cheap laughs (not really laugh out loud moments, just some things that'll make you smile).
The plot is a delicate subject but doesn't really draw you in. There just isn't anything happening and I found myself looking at the clock (sign of a boring film). I certainly wouldn't class this as a comedy, it is just a drama that fails to deliver what it could have done.
Overall I was disappointed and wouldn't recommend this film. Shame because I like the actors and the potential was there.
4/10.
