Great film, despite some drawbacks

A solid comedy-drama about a man facing cancer that handles the seriousness with enough humor to make for an enjoyable film. This is all thanks to the performance of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who probably turns in his best performance. The film's only down parts are Seth Rogen doing the Seth Rogen Schtick - loud, cursing, pot-smoking, obnoxious character he is in everything he's in. Also, given Gordon-Levitt's age and the need for a love interest, Anna Kendrick is the world's youngest therapist in a completely unbelievable role. But other than those drawbacks, 50/50 is still a good watch.
