Very good movie...made me cry

The movie is supposed to be a comedy but it is a really good drama sprinkled with some humor. The acting was good by one and all. A good drama to watch which has some humor.

Disappointing

#12#, reviews, story, Anna K/8-(5), JG-Levitt/4-(3)

kinda reminded me of 500 days of summer just darker

A surprisingly restrained comedy/drama that avoids the easy laughs and the easy tears. Gordon-Levitt is very very good.

Does a great job of mixing comedy & drama. Joseph Gordan-Levitt does a great job of being subdued and dramatic when necessary. An underrated performance.

Of the three movies (Restless, Declaration of War) tackling the theme of cancer, this was my favorite. Great cast.

Nice.

This movie blew me away, ive never seen a movie able to handle changes in tone from light-hearted comedy to serious drama so competently before. At some points I was laughing until my sides hurt and then the next I would be sobbing my eyes out . I really recommend this movie and I think it has a lot to say about cancer, or any serious illness and the way people deal with it.

A very believable story of a young man who discovers he has got cancer, has his life changed over it and how he beats it to start a new life. Very inspirational and well acted and directed movie.

Uh-oh, a Seth Rogen Dramedy about "a rare case of cancer." If you were like me and had that mindset before going into this film, then I hope you learned another lesson in why you shouldn't judge films by their trailers. I hope I finally learn that lesson for good sometime soon.

Straddles a funny line between the unexpected and the exactly-what-you-expect. The fear is that it will be a misfire mix of comedy and drama, so you're pleased when it strikes a more natural balance, but then the end result is still familiar. While I'm glad that it rarely got too broad or too overwrought, there's also a safeness to it. But I enjoyed the tone. I laughed at the funny parts and got a little choked up at the appropriate times, so it worked. The weak link, once again, is Kendrick.

50/50 is moving, kind, at times, plane, which is greatly justified by the weak script, piece of work.

The stoner comedy version of Terms of Endearment. If that sounds as awesome to you as it does to me, then rent this movie and enjoy Joseph Gordon-Levitt's brilliant, tender performance and Seth Rogen's excellent comedic relief (Patrick Swayze...dude, he died...oh shit, that sucks). And if you think calling it the stoner version of Terms is undervaluing it then rent it anyway because this is a good movie.

A really solid film, one of the best I saw of 2011's crop. JGL continues to be one of the more dependable actors working today and Rogen has seemed to perfected playing himself. I was really impressed with Anna Kendrick and I loved Phillip Baker hall and Matt Frewer, there should have been more of them.

A good, well-balanced movie between drama and comedy. It never gets overly dramatic, nor overly (and annoyingly) funny. Good performances, even though teethlady is a tiny bit annoying. But I can look passed that. I also liked the fact that the disease is not the center of the movie, but more the emotion behind it. Now I think of it, I like this movie a lot

Nothing to complain about here. A good mix of drama and comedy, and considering the subject it's great that this wasn't sappier or more dramatic. I liked the presentation and the cast is well-suited for the material.

It's a bit of a shaky start, but once you settle in and get the feel for the tone, it's incredibly sensitively handled. Gordon-Levitt is absolutely incredible. It may also include rather mundane, overly-used plot devices and stock characters, but it adds to the authentic feel to the storytelling and to the film as a whole.

nicely done

I loved everything about this movie except for the extremely unrealistic depiction of professional therapists that Kendrick embodies. The ending was specially off-putting.

It is no secret that after Mysterious Skin Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been furiously loved by homosexuals. Now he can rest comfortably knowing that people with weird back cancers will love him, too.

First movie to make me cry in a decade. However, everything went too well to match what cancer really does to people and families.

It's a hot-white-people comedy about cancer. Could've easily been a worse fiasco than Up in the Air but it actually works as a bittersweet comedy. Of the many things to like about the film I'll point out JGL's redhead girlfriend. She's a suprisingly ambiguous character - sure she's a needy bitch, but the film doesn't totally villify her.
