For example, Adam believes his best friend, Kyle (Seth Rogen), is virtually disengaged from Adam’s emotional roller coaster, and he accuses Kyle of being concerned with just one thing: meeting women. It is not until later that Adam learns that his best friend has in fact put up a courageous, albeit at times obnoxious, front to cope with his feelings of grief and fear at the possibility of losing Adam.
The film's focus is on Adam's struggle to learn how to rely on those around him to help him cope with his experiences. Additionally, Seth Rogen’s performance is certainly worth mentioning. The supporting actresses performed well, including Anna Kendrick, who plays Adam’s young enthusiastic therapist.
Even though Gordon-Levitt commands the majority of the audience's attention and emotions, these actresses manage to provoke feelings of sympathy as well.
Sadly, the film is marred by a great deal of adult humor, as one has come to expect from a Seth Rogen movie. Likewise, Adam is a 27-year-old young man who finds himself on a quest for love that takes him through a series of “missteps,” at times involving casual sexual encounters, or vulgar sexual innuendoes referring to the pursuit of such encounters.
For a striving young screenwriter, which is the worse break: being Paul Reiser’s cousin or randomly getting cancer? Now here it is, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Reiser proxy and Rogen as, basically, himself.
Reiser’s real privilege is the vitality of youth. On Friday, moviegoers got their first chance to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen in cancer comedy, 50/50, in theaters.
In the film, Gordon-Levitt plays Adam, who finds out that he has been diagnosed with cancer, but instead of wallowing in self-pity and going dark, he and his best friend, Kyle (Rogen), attempt to look at the lighter side of things.

"50/50 expertly combines comedy with a morose subject; its characters feel like authentic, imperfect people just dealing with life and death," wrote John Brady Hamilton.
In fact, several viewers admitted to bawling in the movie theater several times during the movie. I loved 50/50 - cried six times. "The movie 50/50 was really good.
