50/50 chance you'll find cancer funny?

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2011)

Don't let the trailers fool you, it's only half a comedy. The cast is very watchable although Seth Rogen tries too hard and often too loud. His lines earned the movie the "R" rating given mostly for language.
Good use of music. A modest budget is reflected on the screen. Some of the scenes look like they were shot on a cel phone camera. One dog looked like it worked cheap. They play the "Terms of Endearment Card", which takes you out of this movie while thinking of the emotional impact of that tear jerker.
No surprises here. There is no doubt he gets the right girl. If you know it's based on a true story, you know it's well written by a cancer survivor.
