50/50

Last week I saw 50/50, and I loved it!! It was way funnier than I was expecting and also not nearly as sad as I was expecting, both very good things. I loved how it wasn't some super depressing movie about cancer, as many movies featuring cancer are. One thing that bothered me throughout the movie was that he was SO unemotional about it. I am an emotion junkie of sorts, and I was kind of let down by his reaction. That being said, all of his lack of emotion made when he actually did break down even that much more heartbreaking. I thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was perfect. His emotional range was great. Going from absolutely nothing to completely losing it-- which is what is expected of him. I also thought the movie was funny in all the right parts. It wasn't inappropriate and when the situation called for serious conversation, that's what there was. At the same time, it was extremely funny. 

The cast was absolutely amazing. Like I've already said, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was fantastic, and a great choice by the casting director. I'm excited to see him be in more movies; he's really underrated and super talented. I hope that this movie helps him get even more parts. Everyone was really good. It was good to see Angelica Houston. I can't believe how good she looks! She's got to be at least, AT LEAST, 60. Bryce Dallas Howard was good, too. Who knew she was good at playing the bitch? I will say that I'm getting a little sick of Seth Rogen playing the same person over and over again. I mean, he is hilariously funny, but I would just like to see him do something different.
