Imagine yourself going to a normal check up and your doctor tells you that you have the
possibility of dying in ashort time, that you have a rare cancer that only gives you a fifty
percent chance of living. What will you do? Well, this is the case of a young man namedAdam Lerner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a 27 year old journalist who plays this very particular role in this comedy; yes is a comedy. It might sound alittle unusual but this is a hillarious movie and as you know every needy friend should have a great pal such as the very funny Kyle (Seth Rogen). This is amust see movie and to make it more spectacular is inspired by a true story; the story of Will Reiser, its writer. I introduce to you, 50/50.

Thismovie is not a comedy that will make you just laugh, it also gives you a great message and somehow awakens you to see the importance of our life. Ipersonally felt that 50/50 not only show you the reality of a very painful disease but that it really works its magic to make this part of you. Even if younot dying, but neither living fully as you should. There is few movies that teach you a lesson and even fewer with a lesson you can actually make part of.It inspired me, made me laugh, cry, and what we all look forward when watching a movie; make us have a great time. That’s is why I think you should goand watch this movie, I simply know you will love it as I did. I should advice you to rent it for more than a day; you might want to see more than once.
