50/50

Being the odds of Adam surviving the form of Cancer he has contracted. The tone is irreverent and satirical almost totally lacking in sentimentality. The fact that Seth Rogan plays his best buddy should telegraph farce. Adam's doctor sits there and dictates notes about his patient's condition in front of Adam by way of introduction. A disease of the week movie played for laughs is not your run of the mill comedy. It plays every cliche in the genre to the hilt. The insensitive stupid comments, the girlfriend who can't cope and deserts, the over-protective mother, the inept social worker/therapist.
