50/50 is all this film rates

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2011)

Knowing that this films main theme was to be cancer, I went to see it with an open mind, this is because I was diagnosed with cancer. Any film that has a theme of an illness finds itself having to make sure they don't upset a long list of people and organisations, these include: The people who suffer with the illness Relatives of the sufferer Medical Professionals Charities And the normal film goers I found that they did show how a person, who is diagnosed with cancer, can be effected by the news and not breakdown and follow the apparent 5 stages of grief. The film started off OK but after the first 10 minutes or so I felt that the film slowed down and for the next half an hour it was just about Kyle using Adams cancer to have as much sex as possible. I felt there was an unequal balance of Comedy and Sympathy and after the first hour and a quarter I, my daughter and others in the cinema were getting bored. The last twenty are good as they follow the operation but then the film ending with a patient having a relationship with their doctor was VERY WRONG AND VERY ILLEGAL.
