This statement may not be true for most men, but I think women sometimes just need a good tear jerking movie. When I saw the preview for 50/50, I knew this was the movie for the occasion. Because there were no late showings at the Alamo, we put off a three mile run until later in the evening to catch the movie and eat some dinner. Despite the commentary coming from a table over my left shoulder ("You tell her! Way to go!"), the movie was incredible; one of those where you find yourself nodding your head in answer to a character's question; or leaning forward in your seat with your mouth hanging open; or, as in my case, tears suddenly falling out of your eyes as if a waterfall. All of the acting was incredible; although the message was typical, it was still a strong one; and the delivery of the entire story was spot on. I'll definitely be buying this one on DVD, just for those days when a girl needs a good cry!
