One of the best examples of blending sadness and humor in one story line. Great dialogue along with solid acting from all the main characters. Adam, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has to deal with a diagnoses of a cancerous tumor on his spine. You may be thinking that this movie is going to be a downer, but you would be wrong.  Loved Anjelica Huston as Adam’s mother.

About moviejoltz

From a long line of movie afficionados, one brother was the #1 renter of movies in the country with Blockbuster, I am following in the same traditions that came before me. To balance out the long hours seated in dark movie theaters, I also teach yoga and cycling. For the past 3 years, I have correctly picked the major Oscar winners... so join me as we explore the wonder of movies and search for that perfect 4 star movie.

    I saw this movie also and had a similar reaction. This is an unusual part for Seth Rogan. He was truly funny, but his character showed an ability to be empathic that was inspiring. I enjoyed seeing the build up to the relationship between Adam and his newbie therapist.
