Very good, respectful and funny

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2011)

A lot of films have been made about cancer in the past few years. Some where okay and some where really bad (Stricken (2009)). 50/50 was actually the first comedic attempt to cancer I've ever seen, and I loved it. It's the best cancer themed film I've seen.
What's starting out as a Seth Rogen-type buddy comedy is actually a realistic, extremely funny but respectful drama about cancer. The great acting by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen make this film the best comedy/drama I've seen in years. Some scenes made me laugh and some almost made me cry. And not just me, the whole theater had the same feeling.
I really hope the cancer-aspect won't make this into a box-office bomb. This film deserves a big audience. The way these filmmakers portrayed the world of a cancer-patient is so respectful. I personally know some people who are suffering or suffered from this disease, and I never felt offended by 50/50.
This movie deserves a lot of respect and awards. Great job on this one!
