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.
