Some movies really shouldn’t work as well as they do on paper. A comedy-drama about a 27-year-old guy dealing with cancer, built around awkward friendships, bad coping mechanisms, and a survival statistic in the title, could’ve gone very wrong in less careful hands. Instead, 50/50 turned into one of the most quietly beloved dramedies of the 2010s, balancing its darker subject matter with the exact kind of sharp, slightly immature humor you’d expect from the Superbad orbit.
