Emotional movie with some funny parts

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2016)

Drama's are usually not the kind of movies I'm going for but with this one I'm glad I did. I would not really call it a comedy even though there were some funny moments with Seth Rogen. But it's about cancer and like most of us eventually in life we get to know somebody that struggled or died because of cancer. And it's not a pretty decease to watch evolve. But nevertheless the bit of humor there was in the movie perfectly balanced out the tragedy of having cancer. It kind of reminded me the excellent show The Big C. Joseph Gordon-Levitt seems to never grow up. He still looks so young. I always have to think about 3rd Rock from the Sun when I see him but in 50/50 he proves he can play something else then pure comedy. The movie itself is very easy and pleasant to watch even though it's about that nasty decease and there are frequent sad moments. It might not please everyone to watch it but I'm sure for a lot of people that were confronted with cancer it will cheer them up a little. Better then I expected.
