50/50

I had read some great reviews of this movie and, was looking forward to seeing it.   And, it certainly delivered especially to those who have a had a friend diagnosed with cancer at an all too early age.  The performances of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and, Anna Kendrick just go to show why they are the cream of the crop of actors of their generation.  I am a Bryce Dallas-Howard fan as well but, she will really need to find a next role that takes her away from the heartless character she has played in the last two movies I've seen her in.

The story is of friendship and, how individuals cope with life when a death sentence (or so we think of cancer) is handed down.  The movie made me laugh, cry and, showed me hope.
