Lets face it, no one finds much humor in the subject of cancer. But it is all too common. Most of us know someone affected by it and adding a bit of humor to the stress and strain will help lighten up an otherwise somber situation. Seth Rogan is Kyle, the best friend of Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who has been diagnosed with the big C. Kyle is one of those guys who keeps everybody laughing with his broad sense of humor and that's just what Adam needs about now. Anjelica Huston plays Adam's mother. She is one of those moms that dote on their adult children, especially those with a fatal illness. She tries to help but ends up seeming overbearing. Katie is Adam's doctor (played by Anna Kendrick) and is a doc everyone would love to have, especially when they are dying. The entire cast works well together in this comedy drama that sees a victim appreciating what time he has and his friends who truly care about him. Nothing maudlin here, just a good movie that's well written and acted.
