Review: 50/50
4.5 stars
In one of the most heartwarming movie experiences of the year, “50/50” brings drama-comedy to a whole different level. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“Inception,” “10 Things I Hate About You”) stars as Adam, a young man who works at National Public Radio. When he is diagnosed with cancer, his best friend, Kyle, played by Seth Rogan (“Knocked Up,” “Pineapple Express”), helps him cope. Kyle encourages Adam to live life to the fullest despite his grave diagnosis. Gordon-Levitt’s superb acting was more than a performance; it came alive and was realistic. It was definitely worthy of an Oscar. There are instances when you will laugh hysterically, and instances when you will cry. But that’s the beauty of this film, and all the more reason to see it.
