Title: Cancer is a Comedy?
Product review: A comedy? No. I turned this movie off after an hour. It has few laughs but seriously, who wants to watch the misery of someone young who has cancer and is probably going to die? It's a downer. The few funny moments don't change that. I'm sure that most of the glowing reviews on this page are written by studio-paid shills.Some of the writing is good, but the pervasive profanity is not real and is annoying. It doesn't add anything and one has to question why it's in there. The Seth Rogen character cares but is such a self-centered loudmouth (a foul one at that) that he negates his contribution to his friend and this movie.Joseph Gordon-Levitt is excellent and he made this into a movie instead of what otherwise would have been a series of predictable scenes.Overall, no more than two stars. I tire of shallow, self-absorbed, pseudo comedy.And, yes, I've had cancer and survived, so I'm not totally out of my league of experience.
