Good balance of humor and drama

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2019)

50/50 walks a fine line in being comedy about a man in his 20s getting cancer, but it manages to find the sweet spot in finding genuine laughs amidst such a depressing story. Gordon-Levitt is terrific and Rogen and Kendrick work well in their supporting roles. It doesn't surprise you too much, but it is very effective in its telling of an inspiring and worthwhile story.
