'50/50' is loosely based on writer Will Reiser's own experiences with having cancer in his 20s. Is it a realistic portrayal? Movie critics seem to think so: '50/50' movie reviews are overwhelmingly positive (the movie scored very well on Rotten Tomatoes).
Rachael (to Adam): "You got a prescription for medicinal marijuana?" Kyle: "No, I got a prescription." Rachael: "Well, what's wrong with you?" Kyle: "I have night blindness..."
Adam: "A tumor?" Doctor: "Yes." Adam: "Me?" Doctor: "Yes." Adam: "That doesn't make any sense though. I mean, I don't smoke, I don't drink...I recycle..."
This quote sums up how Adam feels: He's only 27. He has what? He's lived a clean life, done the right things, but he still got cancer. For anyone who's battled the disease, particularly younger adults, this has to resonate....
