The movie is an inspiring story about the strength of the human spirit. It is in fact, incredibly well made and Joseph Gordon Levitt gives another top performance.
50/50's slogan is "It takes a pair to beat the odds". Despite Seth Rogan's reputation for comedy, 50/50 certainly is not one. It's heartbreaking and emotional even while the characters try to find humor and hope in their darkest time.
Having said that, I'm actually surprised to see that 50/50 has a Golden Globe nomination for best picture in the Comedy category.
Having personally lost a loved one to cancer, this movie completely tore me up and I spent a large part of the movie trying not to cry my eyes out. Definitely worth the watch, but I'm not sure I'll be able to sit through it again.
