50/50 movie review
Okay I am lame. Redbox was a stop for my Friday night activities. I was looking for something interesting. Someone dying of cancer was not my first choice of a fun night. I thought what the hell it is only a dollar and some change. This was a good movie. I give it a B+. I didn’t really like the acting of the therapist. She brought the movie down in my opinion. Her character didn’t ring true. It really seemed like she was trying to hard.
The main character Adam played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt was done very well. I know you hear that name and you think who the hell is that. The funny thing is when you see his face you know he has been in many movies. I just couldn’t think of any of them. He is an easily forgettable character. Just like Sarah Jessica Parker before Sex in the City. Seth Rogen who played his best friend did a good job also. He always seems to play the same character. A cool friend that likes to have fun and talk shit. Well if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. He does a great job playing that character and this movie was no different.
I did have tears in my eyes at the end. Under 30 and going through bullshit of possible death. I don’t know how I would deal with it. I really felt for this guy. Even thought the movie seemed quick, but moved slow. I remember watching Beaches (Yes the chick flick most women knows) that movie seemed very long but moved very quickly. All in all I did like the movie.
It does make you look at your life and start to appreciate. It can always happen to you!!!
