Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

You don't have a heart if you didn't like this movie.

If it were not for Seth Rogan doing what he does best, this would have been a great film. Of course, his role is not fiction but it is about his real-life self in what is based on a true story.As for Love-Hewett - he is just as great as he always has been. He is one of those who can expect to have a very long and productive career. Howard and Kendrick are good in this film, essentially playing characters very similar to those in previous roles. It's nice to see Huston, Frewer and Hall as well - all of whom turn in their typically great performances.The direction is also great. As indicated above, it would have been nice if Rogan's character were not such an annoyance. Humor and wackiness are great, but an obnoxious, crude character is not a plus, even if the character is real.

The second film in which Seth Rogen plays the sidekick of a guy who gets cancer, that being the drowsy FUNNY PEOPLE a few years back, and the second time is a charm. Thanks to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who shows the right amount of shocked melancholy while he suffers through chemotherapy, the prolonged breakup of his shallow girlfriend, and an impending surgery that could take his life, this is a lightweight take on a heavy subject that's both funny and emotionally satisfying. Rogen, as Levitt's buddy who realizes cancer is a great way to pick up on chicks, is a bit too forced into the comic relief department - almost every word spoken is meant for a laugh, and his character rarely gets an opportunity to shine past the caustic rants. Angelica Huston plays Levitt's neurotic mother, causing stress to her ailing son, but the real depth comes from his relationship with love interest Anna Kendrick as a hospital student shrink, first using Levitt as a case study but eventually - as the two bond outside the office - falling in love. Their relationship makes the movie work, while the buddy/buddy between Rogen and Levitt give routine breaks from the serious underbelly. And as breezy soundtrack tunes provide an out before things get morose, and drugs (both medicinal and recreational) turn gloomy roads into shiny avenues way too easily, it's Levitt alone, whose character is brooding even before the diagnosis, that makes even the filler moments work: he really seems to be facing a grave future while trying to beat those 50/50 odds.

Way better script and performances than the director/dp could capture. Really missed an opportunity for some amazing visual story telling in this one. Still, the talent of the cast and leveled up with the subject matter makes this a supremely watchable film. This movie should have gotten way more traction.
