Arizona Republic
50/50 is a tremendous movie. It's also a really funny one, which doesn't mean it won't make you cry. - 88
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Even hardened cynics will embrace the cliché – yep, you will laugh, you will cry. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Reiser has written his characters with an indelible sweetness and vulnerability, which allows the cast to deliver performances with some depth. - 70
New York Magazine (Vulture)
The movie belongs to Gordon-Levitt and Anna Kendrick as his painfully green therapist. - 70
The New Yorker
Buoyant and observant, 50/50 is a small winner; the director, Jonathan Levine ("The Wackness"), has a great touch, mordant but light-handed. - 63
Slant Magazine
The movie is far more successful in its execution of the young-man-meets-mortality element, warranting its existence by bringing some well-considered verisimilitude to what feels like rare movie territory. - 60
Boxoffice Magazine
A soft and sweet cancer drama that hits with the force of an ill-timed hug. - 60
Variety
Will Reiser's semiautobiographical script initially prescribes too artificial a story treatment for its characters but is rescued by a genial, low-key vibe that builds in sensitivity and emotion up through the final reels.
