MTV's #8 Movie Of The Season Is '50/50'

I stored fearing "50/50" would have a left turn onto Sappy Boulevard, plod past Preachy Junction and are available to some relaxation inside a town populated by "Dying Youthful," "Fall in NY" and "Sweet November," where everybody discovers pat training and becomes better people (aside from individuals who die individuals unfortunate folks just allow us to learn something about ourselves before they pass in to the Great Cheesy Beyond).

In a certain point star Seth Rogen would need to cease being Seth Rogen, and also the whole film would become some YA version of "Beaches," right? Wrong, wrong, wrong. According to author Will Reiser's own encounters and starring Frederick Gordon-Levitt like a youthful radio producer struggling with an uncommon type of cancer, "50/50" pulls from the miracle trick of remaining consistently funny, sweet, affecting and real and not, ever cheesy. For those these reasons and much more, "50/50" lands at #8 on MTV's Better of 2011 Movie list. As Rogen, who created the film and plays Gordon-Levitt's closest friend (and is actually Reiser's close friend), told us in September, "We'd always discuss what it is not really a creative challenge to consider something depressing making something depressing from it.
