50/50 (Jonathan Levine, 2011)

8/10
There seems to be one of these every year, a movie that doesn't break any new ground at all but is well-made, well-acted, thoughtful and heartfelt enough to break through to the most cynical reviewer, even if it doesn't offer any revelations. There's really nothing not to like about 50/50...it's a mature movie about a difficult subject and it's easy to get caught up in its honest emotion. I don't know how long it'll stick with me but it did the trick for the two hours it was on the screen.
