Synopsis for 50/50:
Inspired by a true story, 50/50 is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humor in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis in this new comedy directed by Jonathan Levine from a script by Will Reiser. 50/50 is the story of a guy's transformative and, yes, sometimes funny journey to health — drawing its emotional core from Will Reiser's own experience with cancer and reminding us that friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are the greatest healers.
"Every performance in the film is flawless."—Claudia Puig, USA Today
"It's irreverent about cancer and that could be inspirational. And it's surely one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen all year."—Steve Persall, St. Petersburg Times
"50/50 is a tremendous movie. It's also a really funny one, which doesn't mean it won't make you cry." —Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
"Mostly it's just terribly funny and sad and beautifully acted and terrifically feel-good for being, you know, a cancer comedy." —Kimberley Jones, Austin Chronicle
"50/50 pulls no punches in its depiction of living day-to-day with illness. There's pain and fear, no question. But this dramatic comedy is also warm, honest and, most especially, funny."—New York Daily News
