From NetFlix:

An otherwise healthy twentysomething has a comically early midlife crisis when he gets slapped with a cancer diagnosis — and a 50-50 chance of survival. But what’s the meaning of life when you’re not sure how long yours will last?

B grade is all I can give this sometimes entertaining “comedy”. Whereas the cancer patient Adam is a quiet, repressed, almost fearful young man, his faithful but self-serving friend Kyle is coarse and sometimes overly bold (especially with women). Did Kyle’s language need to be so gross (when was the last time you heard the word “fellate” spoken in a film )?

One facet of the film rings true for me: it can be disconcerting to be treated by a health professional who is not even old enough to be my child. And would the hospital really assign to Adam a therapist for whom Adam was only her third patient ?

Adam is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt who played Arthur in Inception (2010).

Kyle is played by Seth Rogen who played the male lead in “Knocked Up”.

You may recognize Adam’s difficult mom as Angelica Huston whom you may remember from “The Adams Family”.

In its favor, the film probably captures faithfully the experiences of many cancer patients.
