"50/50." How did I miss this excellent movie?

It's a comidram from a few years back that I really enjoyed. How can you not like a movie with Seth Rogan?

Here's my review and a trailer:

The scene where he shaved his head was improvised, by the way. Seth Rogan’s Look of surprise was probably genuine.

He went back and forth between playing a standard Seth Rogan character and serious acting. I was reminded of the first thing I saw him in, a TV show called Freaks & Geeks.
