"It's about this young guy who discovers he has a rare variety of spinal cancer. But it's gonna be funny. No, really." It's the kind of setup that can only spectacularly crash and blaze, or perhaps, just maybe, find enough magic to be charming and poignant.
The story revolves around Adam (Gordon-Levitt) and his overwhelm friend Kyle (Rogen). Adam is twenty-something, just getting serious with his girlfriend, and overall enjoying the prime of his biography. Until a nagging pain is discovered to be something far worse. Kyle is his irreverent, but devoted friend, who does his best (or rather, his customary) to keep Adam's spirits up and his life going as close to normal as possible. But as the chemotherapy begins to wrack Adam's firmness, and his girlfriend subsequently takes up with another beau, his promising young life quickly takes a turn south. Kyle, and Adam's na therapist (Anna Kendrick), take turns in their own way to try to help Adam find the hope in his life-threatening situation.
