I look like Voldemort.

Screenwriter Will Reiser is based on his own real cancer experience. He is also a good friend of the supporting actor Seth Rogen, who is like in the movies in his life, often in a gag way with his friends "facing cancer together".
A guy who doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, often exercises, is optimistic and motivated suddenly gets cancer. There are countless cases like this, which can only make you sigh the impermanence of fate. The biggest feature of this film is to turn a heavy theme of cancer and cancer into a heartwarming comedy sketch without being frivolous. The story unfolds flatly, develops bit by bit, and ends in full. There is no climax but it is fascinating, crying and laughing, but it is true. No one wants to get cancer, but if misfortune really happens like an extinct volcano eruption, you should be as optimistic and positive as possible, after all, there is still a 50/50 chance of cure. Especially if you have a loving relationship like the Mitch couple, a friendship like Kyle, a family that shares weal and woe like the mother in the show.
It is already the best affirmation for such a small-budget film to be nominated for the Golden Globe Award. Jon Joseph won his second Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination for his low-key performance as always. Suddenly I found that Anna Kendrick is very stealthy, whether it is sweet rabbit teeth, good acting skills, or lower and lower chest until breasts burst.
