Fear Not

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2011)

The role isn't quite as challenging for Joseph G-L as some of his recent stuff has been, but nobody could have done this better. It's a good reminder of how versatile he is. The 50/50 refers to his chances of surviving (or dieing) from cancer, with which he has just been diagnosed. The movie handles it well with a good balance of drama and humor, much of the latter of which comes from Seth Rogen in one of his best roles. Anna Kendrick is cute, stunning and adept all at the same time. To sum it up, it could have been titled, "50/50: Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Big C". OK, it isn't an exact fit, but.......Go see it.
