Cancer is a very serous topic. When you’re trying to make anything remotely comedic about cancer, you have to be careful, because it’s very hard to do it right…
According to early reviews, Seth Rogan’s cancer comedy, 50/50 is doing it right.
The film, previously titled I’M WITH CANCER, stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Will Reiser, a 27-year-old man diagnosed with cancer and given a 50/50 chance of surviving.
The story is based on Reiser’s real life. Rounding out the cast is Anna Kendrick, Angelica Houston, and Rogan himself, and trailer already packs an emotional punch just as you see Reiser trying to cope with his illness.
The film is set for release on September 30. Check out the trailer below or click here to see it in HD at Apple.
