50/50 - saw it last night

[crofty1984]

Whoever thought that mixing comedy with a young guy getting diagnosed with cancer was a good idea was, as it turns out, right.
It managed to strike the right balance between giving the situation the respect it deserves and laugh-out-loud moments. It wasn't mawkish or overly long either, it just sped by.

I only found this out afterwards, but the writer was actually writing about his own experiences and Seth Rogen (in real life) was the friend who helped him through it and encouraged him to write about it.
I'm still laughing at "Um, yeah I'm looking after my friend. He has stage four badcancer"

Me and the g/f saw it last week and both thought it was really good, not too mawkish but serious enough.

A nice film, strangely.

I thought it was a really solid film. I'll admit that I shed a few man tears in some places.
