You can't make a comedy about cancer, or any other serious illness for that matter, and fail to produce a genuinely funny script.
It is, first and foremost, a very funny movie and that is where "Funny People" first went awry. "50/50", then, plays out a bit like what "Funny People" should have been, right down to the performance of Seth Rogen. While I stuck up for "Funny People" more than most of my colleagues, even I will admit it is an incredibly flawed film that misses the mark on many levels. The inevitable comparisons between "50/50" and 2009's "Funny People" are unfortunate. As the severity of his condition increases, Adam begins to reassess his life, his relationships, and the nonplussed façade he uses to get himself through. Before long, though, his complex relationships with Rachael, his best friend Kyle (Seth Rogen), and his needy mother (Angelica Huston) become even more convoluted with the introduction of chemotherapy and medicinal marijuana into his life. A laidback kind of guy, Adam handles each hurdle with surprising ease and levity while engaging in somewhat helpful counseling from Katie (Anna Kendrick), a young psychologist the hospital assigns him. His life takes a sudden and dramatic turn when he is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that has taken over his spine. Aheym features four original compositions by Dessner performed by Kronos as well as an appearance by the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.Adam (Gordon-Levitt) is a rule-following, mild-mannered twentysomething who lives in Seattle with his girlfriend, Rachael (Bryce Dallas-Howard), and works at Seattle Public Radio.
