Sweet Popcorn And Late Nights97 - A film about cancer that presents a real version, with tears and laughs included. One of the best films of last year.

Dan O'Neill90 - Cancer and comedy may be a hard subject to make watchable, but 50/50 does that perfectly. With great acting from the whole cast, hilarious moments, and as well as some tender ones as well, this film creates a story that almost seems like real-life with characters that are all perfectly fleshed out.

Bryan Lienesch84 - Underrated as a quality film. Thoroughly enjoyable as it dabbled in an often unsuccessful area of dark comedy.

Skooch80 - The only failing that the movie has – in my humble opinion – is that overall, while it is a hopeful story, it is dark and fairly depressing subject material that does not really lend itself to re-watching over and over.
