Normally I don’t watch comedies in theatres, especially if they star
Seth Rogen. I think comedies are natural rentals. I do make the occasional exception, however, and anything with the fantastic
JGL certainly warrants that. Enter,
50/50 – a story about a young man who gets diagnosed with cancer and how he deals with it. Potentially very depressing stuff. It’s a real credit to the scriptwriters and the acting team that they deal with the anger, horror and incredible unfairness of it all while still maintaining a realistic humour.
Anna Kendrick is the quiet scene-stealer as is
Bryce Dallas Howard who plays reprehensible with great panache. JGL is his usual thumbs-up and Rogen is his usual crazy. But you know who got me?
Angelica Huston. We need more of her in movies.
I think it’s still a good rental movie but also feel good about supporting it in theatres.
4 out of 5 stars.
