I was legitimately surprised at how good this was. It wasn't a black comedy or a dramedy, but something that felt altogether different. Like a comedy and a drama woven together but the strands don't really touch, leaving the other to do its thing, which each does really well. I can't picture a cancer movie being able to do it better. JGL is great. Kendrick was pretty good. The real surprise was Seth Rogen. To be honest, if I have cancer, I want Rogen's character to be my friend.

50/50 deals with its theme in a respectfull manner withouth throwing the lets-make-it-so-sad-everyone-will-cry-card. By doing so it brings a more realistic feeling to the whole and the characters, even though a bit stereotyped, are well written and well played by all. Rogen is used as a comic relief remedy in a sober way and BDH is just amazing as the torn girlfriend!

JGL and Rogen take their skills to another level here; the chemistry is electric. Rarely does a film that mixes comedy and drama do such a genuine job of excelling at both. This is what 'Funny People' wishes it could have been. As Adam goes through the struggle of chemo and the changing nature of his life, the viewer develops real feelings for the interesting circle of people he meets and the challenges they all face. The storytelling is authentic, the voyage introspective and the end spirited.

It does the dramedy mix with subtle perfection: the funny parts are funny and the serious parts are serious, neither were half-assed attempts at both, and awareness displayed that they need each other. Drama needs comedy to humanize and lighten its subject matter; comedy needs drama to deftly remind the audience that the subject matter is not meant to be light and fluffy. I loved the performances completely, the so-called "predictability" is debatable at best... it does everything exceptionally.

Remarkably sober and painstakingly real, "50/50" makes the most of a premise that easily could have been in disgustingly poor taste. Rogen, Hall and Frewer provide much needed comic relief, but the real star is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who delivers yet another simply outstanding performance going through the emotional stages of denial, anger and hopelessness without ever hitting a single false note. It's simple (yet never simplistic) and straightforward - and all the better for it.

I always knew JGL was the greatest actor of his generation, but who the fuck would have guessed Seth Rogan could seriously win Best Supporting Actor? Besides all that, this is an excellent film. Most that tend to take the terminal disease route end up being extremely manipulative and trick the viewer into a fake feeling. This doesn't. Everything is humanized and real, and the humor is fantastic. "No one likes putting a dick in their mouth."

It's a somewhat predictable plot inhabited by familiar stock characters (Average Joe, the quirky romantic interest, the stoner buddy, etc). But that doesn't at all prevent this from being a great film. It deftly blends comedy and drama, and succeeds because it comes close to the weird mixture of laughter and sadness that makes up reality.

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.

Good mix between humor and drama. Has an effective way to show how cancer influences the life of everyone around a person who has the disease. And ust seeing Seth Rogen on screen is enough to put a smile on my face. Knowing that Gordon-Levitt only was casted 2 days before the shooting started, and seeing his performance on screen is remarkable.

First, Seth Rogen took more laughs from me than he has with any of his other films combined. Now, JGL plays through this very emotional and often times funny struggle with cancer surrounded by a very unique group of friends and family. Two of Gordon-Levitt's character relationships made this such a great film experience for me. His time with Phillip Baker Hall and Matt Frewer were really touching and often times hilarious. Also, the chemistry between JGL and Kendrick was offbeat and perfect.

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

Sympathetic and nuanced filmmaking to the bone but - sadly - too distancing as well. The protagonist never becomes truly interesting (thus making his fight against cancer equally forgettable) and you're left with quite a disappointing hunger for more black satire, brave drama or a bit of both. The result feels calculated instead of striking.

It's a shame that the Oscar's don't respect comedies as they do melodramas. "50/50" has all the heart and emotional manipulation of any capital "D" Drama, but manages to find some levity in a seriously dark issue. The highs and lows you feel during this movie are pretty remarkable. I found myself with a full-out belly laugh one minute and trying to hide my increasingly dusty eyes from my girlfriend the next. Gordon-Levitt plays the entire range effortlessly, while Rogen does his usual schtick.

A film that succeeds just as well in its comedy as its drama, never going over the tipping point for either. It's a beautiful dichotomy here; a rare breed of the genre that excels so well it makes us laugh at a cancer patient shaving his head, then pulls us down to reality, sometimes even making us misty-eyed. The subject matter has never been covered this way before, and it's all the refreshment needed for this fairly predictable story.

A film that allows the characters to be jerks and get truly angry at each other - perhaps too much, as it threatens to derail the film at points - but it eventually comes together as the characters learn. Strikes a nice balance of drama and comedy, and from the pre-surgery scene until the end is simply brilliant.

A great life-with-cancer comedy-drama that manages to be both incredibly funny and truly moving. A few predictable story beats aside, it's engaging all the way through, thanks partly to Will Reiser's finely tuned semi-autobiographical script, and partly due to excellent acting: Joseph Gordon-Levitt is great, but Seth Rogen steals the show with some of the best work he's ever done. Bonus points for a unique visual style, a good score, and an intriguingly ambiguous finale.

What could have been disturbing and in poor taste proves sweet and well handled. Gordon-Levitt can do anything and while I'm sure that he would have performed just as well in a non-Hollywood version of this film, I appreciated the addition of Rogen who regularly relieves some tension, preventing the film from going too dark. The subject matter is taken seriously, it's just - thankfully - not approached in a way that necessitates depressing the audience.

A beautifully performed, superbly written human comedy may arguably hew to sitcom plotting at times, but because the characters are so vividly, touchingly real (and their inter-relationships so believable), it's very easy to forgive. There's not a false or wrong note in the entire cast; Gordon-Levitt and Kendrick are the stand-outs, but Rogen, Huston and Hall are equally fine, with Howard especially good bringing a sympathy and even pathos to an unsympathetic character.

50/50 is a great film. It's very funny, it's charming, it's sweet, and while it makes fun of everyone involved, it does so in a good-natured fashion so as to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. When you're dealing something as life-threatening as cancer, that's the best way to go about it. Most of the actors, particularly the ones in leading roles, are very strong. I even liked Seth Rogan in this, which is something that I say very, very rarely. I was touched by 50/50.

The best movie of 2011 in my opinion. This is a truly funny and touching movie. I usually don't like to admit this but I cried on at least five separate occasions during this movie. I also laughed really hard in several parts of the film. The writing was wonderful and moving. The music was excellent. The acting was spot on with Joseph Gordon-Levitt my new favorite actor. Anna Kendrick reminded me why I love her so much and Seth Rogen was perfect in this being hilarious and a true friend.

Although not completely emancipated from the well-worn sitcom stereotypes, "50/50" still manages to strike a consistently impressive balance between comedy and drama, avoiding both glossing over its serious subject and drowning it in treacle. The performances are all strong, the comedic parts work and there's a strong undercurrent of genuine emotion to secure emotional resonance. There are some forced embellishments, but the overall good-natured and optimistic feel is ultimately rewarding.

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.

Having seen two movies in row where Bryce Dallas Howard is being a bitch I am starting to really dislike her. Well 'nuff said 'bout that. 50/50 is great and considering the topic surprisingly funny. The banter and the obvious real life friendship between Gordon-Levitt and Rogen shines through and makes for a nice ice cream cocktail, Kendrick as icing on the cake and the role of sprinkle played due to a great cameo by the always great Baker Hall. An oscar worthy performance by Gordon-Levitt.

This film is so contrived that it's hard to take any of the story seriously. The psychologist character is a symptom of laughably lazy writing. Gordon-Levitt is basically a character actor, playing the same down-on-his-luck, awkward-but-nice 30-year-old in every movie. Same for Rogen who plays the somewhat tactless but big-hearted buddy in every film. More of the same for both of them, and they do a decent job in their respective roles. Overall it feels like it's shot by committee. Calculated.

50/50 tells the story of a young man with cancer, which of course makes it both a harsh and sad film overall. Don't expect to leave it feeling all good inside.

It made me both laugh and cry and, particularly with JGL's character, did all the little things that great films do. His character is well written and well performed with a arc filled with nuance and bittersweet moments. The counterpoint to this is that the other characters pale by comparison and appear to exist only for his arc. Rogen gets the most screen time and mostly escapes this, but the female characters in particular are underwritten and make contrived decisions. Otherwise, it's great.

50/50 is storytelling in its finest form. Simple, relevant and real. The three elements that make 50/50 one of the best films of 2011 should be used in every film. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is quietly brilliant as Adam. The humor always stays fresh and sharp, never stepping any boundaries. 50/50 is a reminder of how tragic and humorous life can be at the same time. Easily my fave film so far of 2011, engaging characters and good humor. 50/50 is a must see.

As it stands, "50/50" has a heart and laughs to spare. Where other directors would generate empathy out of a serious subject matter with melodramatic overtones, here it's done with admirable truth. Much of that honesty is evoked by Levitt's performance (who hasn't been this good in a while), alternating between confusion, fear, anger and confidence, even at his most vulnerable. I would've liked to see parts developed even further (Adam's father, cancer patients), but it's still a solid film.

The best Hollywood take on cancer I've seen to date. The cast is spot on, each pair of characters having perfect chemistry with each other - Gordon-Levitt, of course, steals the show, and proves as if there was any doubt at this point that he is a formidable force. 50/50 dares to be funny, heartbreaking and genuine, sometimes all at once and sometimes in separate, powerful doses that catch you off-guard every time. First Drive, now this; 2011 is looking like it may be a good year yet.

"Hi. I have cancer." Anyway, first off... Anna Kendrick, awesome. Such a cute actress. Gordon-Levitt owned the role again, Rogan did what Rogan does. The movie is very very predictable but I wanted that... honestly I just wanted a feel good moment where he got the right girl, and this is what I got. Plus it's very very funny when it tries to be. It's also emotional when it wants to be. So really it succeeds on all fronts.

Definitely better than that other movie where Seth Rogen is best friends with a guy with cancer, mostly because Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a much more complex and likable actor than Adam Sandler. There's a bit of a black and white schism going on where the movie is a comedy whenever Rogen is onscreen and a drama when he's not, but both parts work, so it's ok. Anna Kendrick is very good too.

If Funny People was actually a good movie, it would be 50/50. I was worried that they wouldn't be able to properly balance the subject matter with comedy, but it wasn't ever really a problem. The supporting cast is amazing (Howard and Frewer especially), and I'm convinced that Anna Kendrick may well be the Queen of Awkward these days (that's a good thing). Even though the ending isn't the greatest, and the music can be a little overbearing at times, the movie is genuinely touching.

Hoş bir film. Pek bir ekstrası yok ama zevkle izledim ve duygulandığım yerler oldu. Ayrıca Seth Rogen'in başrolde oynadığı her filmi izleyebilirim. Bayılıyorum adama.

I'm not clear on what the point of this film is supposed to be. I'm guessing it's about how cancer affect relationships. What stuck with me personally is how under-emotional people are often the product of an over-emotonal parent.

You'd think a movie about a dude getting cancer would be more of a bummer. Seth Rogan is hilarious in this, and surprisingly, it all plays well together. (First logged May 13 2015)

Despite a slow start and a slightly drawn out (i.e. flawed) end, 50/50 delivers an authentic film about coping with cancer. Kendrick and Gordon-Levitt are great, and even Rogen was tolerable. The characters are all flawed, but for once it actually helps the film making them seam more human and real. The blend of drama and comedy is very watchable. My major qualm is with the representation of anaesthesiology; under general there would be a doctor present to monitor the drugs and patient’s vital

I found Howard's actions in this relationship to be very authentic. The women in this film were too distractingly beautiful. Fav scene: breakdown of the friendship and JGL's inevitable meltdown.

Top badass moment? Joseph Gordon-Levitt shaving all his hair off for his art. A man is diagnosed with cancer and reacts by shaving his head and becoming a right-wing skinhead with no friends who aren’t white Americans. He tries to get off with lots of women, ruin the career of a young councillor, is mean to his mum, drives a car uninsured and, worst of all, has Seth Rogen as his best friend. There is a Star Trek joke in it though, so it’s not all bad. No cats or chainsaws or decapitations.

Not JGL's best performance (and Rogen is Rogen) but it is an enjoyable movie (if any movie about cancer could be called enjoyable).

(Viewed in 2012): Decent drama/comedy that shows a slight change of pace for Rogon/Gordon-Levitt. Levitt plays a young man whose seemingly carefree life is suddenly interrupted by a cancer diagnosis. There isn't really much to comment on as 50/50 doesn't go to any emotionally traumatic places, and it's neither overly moving or funny, but Levitt is believable and the way he slowly adjusts to his predicament rings true. Rogen is his usual slobby self but with a welcome touch of maturity.

Offbeat but still funny, its script and direction is serviceable. Its strength is in how funny Rogen, Gordon-Levitt and Kendrick are.

Somewhat better than one expects from a flick with such a very unpromising premise. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is marvelous, and Seth Rogen far exceeded my admittedly low expectations.

A great cast and really tight script, make this one of the most accurate and heartwarming "battling cancer" films I've seen. From the subtleties of the "touch to comfort" to the "it effects everyone" themes, they have done this incredibly well.

Will Reiser wrote the script based loosely on his own experience with cancer, and it shows. 50/50 rings true in a way so few films like this seem to.
