50/50 inspirational, seriously entertaining

 The film 50/50 is intensely inspirational and seriously entertaining. Its leading actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen are comical geniuses. The duo harmoniously balances the sentimental factors of a cancer story as well as the fun and humor of a strong friendship.  The movie details the life of 27-year-old cancer patient, Adam (Levitt) after discovering his 50% chance of surviving and includes how his family and his best friend, Kyle (Rogen) deal with the situation. The movie is primarily about Adam’s strength to overcome a failing relationship with his girlfriend, meet people who will change his life and truly discover himself before a final surgery. Keeping a smile from spreading on your face while watching this film would be difficult. Choking back tears could also be a challenge. Writer of the film and Rogen’s longtime friend, Will Reiser, had beat cancer himself. Which created the foundation for this empowering comedy.
