50/50

3 out of 5

Cancer. A very deadly disease that affects many each year. What happens when a film maker tries to make a comedy about it? In the film 50/50 the main character is told that he has a form of cancer and only has a 50/50 shot to live. He tells his best friend and his best friend tries to use his cancer as an excuse to do fun things and try to get rid of the cancer.

This movie had some funny parts but it can be hard to laugh sometimes because you know the movie is about cancer. It does have some scenes that are serious but the aim was more towards comical. This would be a good movie to watch when you are at home and looking for something different.
