Inspired by a true story, the Golden Globe-nominated dramedy film 50/50 is directed by Jonathan Levine and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. Loosely based on the life of screenwriter Will Reiser, 27-year-old Adam Lerner has a whole life ahead of him with a beautiful girlfriend and career until he is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. As he undergoes chemotherapy, his overbearing mother wants to move in to take care of him, while his best friend Kyle tries to keep his spirits high. He begins to see a young and inexperienced therapist and develops a rapport in and outside of their sessions as he opens up to her about how the disease is affecting him. During his chemo treatments, he befriends two older cancer patients who give him perspective on life, love and survival. When the realities of his sickness begin to unravel his composure, humor offers solace as he evaluates the important decisions ahead.
