50/50

Well, you already reviewed this one, Hammer...

I gotta say I was certainly disappointed. Marie wanted to see it solely because she lusts after the lead actor dude. Honestly, I think he hasn't done anything that great since Brick (in which he was outstanding). I may have only seen one Seth Rogen film (he was in Superbad, right? That dick drawing thing was incredible). Anyway, he was funny. I can definitely agree with you that he's probably better as a hilarious supporting actor rather than the lead in a film, though. Was he in Zack and Miri Make a Porno? I think so. Kevin Smith is my man. Anyway, I digress...to the film at hand...

The director could have went so much deeper. He really only scratched skin deep when it came to emotions. The dude could have gotten more out of the audience. I thought that was weak. I expected a lot more based on other people saying it was so emotional and whatnot. Marie had a half dozen tissues crumpled by the end of the flick, but I was crying with boredom. Ok, that's hyperbole. But I was genuinely expecting more. Hell, I thought the opposite would have happened at the end (don't wanna give away any spoilers).

Honestly, I thought the therapist chick was had the best performance in the movie. She wasn't hard on the eyes, either.

I don't really have much else to say. I wouldn't steer anyone away from it. I'm sure a lot of people will dig it. But it was a pretty tame, neutral flick to me. Not a whole lot of artistic merit. Just something to do for 100 minutes.

I had the Vanishing Point disc out, too. Now there's a flick I'm stoked to see!
