Inspired by the personal experiences of Hollywood screenwriter Will Reiser, 50/50 stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis. This heartwarming chronicle of a guy's transformative and yes, sometimes funny journey back to health reminds us that both friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are the greatest healers.
