Lame

Rating: 3/10 (13 July 2015)

I usually like Seth Rogan but in this movie he fails. He tried to be a person simply being innocently incompetent at showing empathy by being superficial and hiding real concern. But he just ends up being unbelievably irritating. This is mostly the fault of Gordon-Levitt who is so lame he gathers no empathy from anyone. He is the proverbial limp dick who destroys the whole atmosphere. His heart was not in it. His mother tries to make up for previous remote motherhood - and we end up understanding why she was aloof from him in the first place. His laughably rude doctor would normally be sued for his blunt treatment but we end up almost siding with him. His incompetent support psychologist is beyond cute and useless. She was almost driving him to suicide - but Gordon-Levitt has simply no energy to even contemplate such a decision. In the end he gathers the least empathy from the people viewing this movie. The ending is as cheesy as it can possibly get. Don't waste your time. You only live once. This is not 50/50 but 100% useless.
