Yes, a truly pleasant and refreshing surprise to the
standard summer films we have been watching.
“50/50” hits some emotional and dramatic nerves. Only one person got up during the film to get
food (me) while the rest of the theatre was fully engulfed in tears and
laughter throughout “50/50.”
I can finally say thanks to Seth Rogen for his performance
in a movie. Gordon-Levitt and the cast
delivered quite well in 50/50. Some
humor mixed with tears and family bonding in a movie is a great recipe. There is a bit of objectification of women
and some impersonal medical professionals depicted in “50/50” but they add to
the drama and attempt to propel the story.
The movie is predictable (except for the major question!) yet we
shouldn’t really care as we watch.
If you enjoyed “The Music Never Stopped”, “Life as a House”,
or “A Walk To Remember”, then settle in and enjoy “50/50.” If you enjoy ER or something else to glorify
doctors and hospitals, then sit and watch General Hospital reruns instead. If it wasn’t for the profanity, this would be
valuable to viewers of all ages. “50/50”
will still pull 5 out of 5 Cyclones.
