50/50

Really good! I found it to be a refreshing take on cancer - not many young adults think about getting cancer, but we all know a few of our peers who actually have. Joseph Gordon-Leavitt was great as the young cancer patient, and Seth Rogen is surprisingly exceptional as his best friend trying to support him. The supporting cast was brilliant too - Anna Kendrick as the really young psychologist, Anjelica Houston as the over-bearing mother, and Bryce Dallas-Howard as the insensitive girlfriend were all great. Full disclosure - it gets very sad towards the end when he is getting close to knowing which 50/50 way he will be going. I seriously cried. It evoked real emotion from me, and therefore I will say - CHECK IT OUT!
