If you loved The Wackness, try 50/50

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jonathan Levine, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wackness, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What 50/50 is

Seattle, gray autumn, hospital machines beeping. A young man's life is put on hold, chemotherapy and relationships collide. Levine balances humor and pathos with surprising ease.
