50/50

From idmb.com 

50/50 tells the story of Adam Lerner a young adult who is diagnosed with cancer while navigating the ups and downs of relationships. Although this film tackles the big C, it manages to find a way to balance the drama with a light hearted comedic tone. Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives a usual outstanding performance as Adam Lerner, a young man who lives with his artist girlfriend and is a radio producer with his best friend, Kyle. When he is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer the quest for optimism on the road back to health comprises more difficulties than expected, however he finds hope in unlikely places such as his best friend Kyle, a light hearted man-boy (played by Seth Rogen) and Katherine (played by Anna Kendrick) Adam's inexperienced therapist. Anna's performance is altogether believable while Rogen's typecasted performance lacks talent. However Will Reiser's well-played film demonstrates that "if life hands you lemons, you should make lemonade."

9/10
