Deeply affecting and Utterly hilarious!

Rating: 7/10 (27 October 2012)

50/50 is beautifully written (true-story inspired) comedy-drama about a 27-year old writer and his friend, whose lives get affected when the former is diagnosed with spinal cancer. It's a story about love, friendship, endurance, survival and finding humour in the most unlikely places. It's at times like these, you know the people who you can actually depend on.
The movie is mainly carried forward by the two brilliant leads, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who takes care of the drama, and Seth Rogen, who takes care of the comic relief. Anna Kendrick plays her supporting role admirably.
I've followed Gordon-Levitt's movies since a long time. He has matured so wonderfully as an actor, and most of the movies he's chosen in his career are quite honest, original and of human interest. I admire Will Reiser and Jonathan Levine's different and original approach to cancer, which was refreshing and delightful. It deeply affecting and utterly hilarious.
