The absolute biggest Oscar snub in 2011. In a year that I personally felt was not a very strong year in film '50/50' stood out to me as on of the year's strongest films, and yet was not recognized at any major awards ceremonies (or should I call them shows?). It's one of the best written films you'll see, and it's beautifully simplistic cinematography adds to the gloomy, yet hopeful element of the story. Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives THE best performance of his career as the mild-mannered, overly-cautious Adam Lerner, a young radio editor who is unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer. Seth Rogan plays what we've come to expect, the role of a foul mouthed Seth Rogan, but it actually works with the story. You're going to have to trust me on this one. Anna Kendrick, Anjelica Houston and Jessica Chast...I mean, Bryce Dallas Howard round out the phenominal supporting cast to creat a very complete, engaging and enjoyable film. You'll lalugh, you'll cry, you'll l augh some more. I highly recommend this one. 5 out of 5 whatevers!
