Adam Lerner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a 27-year-old radio journalist with a girlfriend Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard), of whom his best friend and co-worker Kyle (Seth Rogen) disapproves.
Adam discovers he has a rare cancer in his spine and must undergo chemotherapy. He sees on the Internet that his chances of survival are 50/50. After Adam reveals his diagnosis, his overbearing mother, Diane (Anjelica Huston), who already cares for a husband suffering from Alzheimer's disease, is determined to move in with him. He rejects this offer, however, as Rachael has promised to be the one to take care of him.
Adam skeptically begins going to the young and inexperienced therapist, Katherine McKay (Anna Kendrick), and although their relationship and sessions begin with a rocky start, he slowly begins to open up to her about his disease and how it is affecting him. The two develop a rapport both in and outside of their sessions, as the lines between doctor-patient and friends begins to blur. During chemo treatments, Adam also befriends Alan (Philip Baker Hall) and Mitch (Matt Frewer), two older cancer patients who give him perspective on life, love, and illness.
Meanwhile, Kyle attempts to keep Adam's spirits high, which includes using his illness as a way to pick up women. He also uses his friend's illness to his own advantage, and to Adam's annoyance. Later, Kyle sees Rachael kissing another man and tells Adam, who proceeds to break up with her, despite her excuses and protests.
Although Adam at first claims to everyone that he is fine and handling his disease well, his composure slowly begins to unravel as the realities and seriousness of his illness become increasingly sharper; especially after Mitch's death. The doctor informs him that the cancer is not responding to the chemotherapy and his only option is dangerous surgery. On the day of the surgery, Kyle, Diane, her husband, and Katherine await the results. Though the doctors had to remove and transplant some bone while removing the tumor, Adam's surgery was successful. The movie ends with Adam having Katherine over for a date.
下载了很久，但是一直都没有mood看，看看一下关一下，今天终于一口气把他看完了..前面几part觉得还ok，但是到了到了他准备/要去开刀的那part，我突然觉得很有感触..在这世上，朋友不用多，有一个关心你的就够了，男/女朋友不用烦，有家人就够了..
他女朋友是第一个说'i wont leave you,we will get through this together'(之类的话）的人，但是他女朋友最终红杏出墙，他的好朋友虽然时常教他做坏事但是都是为了他好（虽然方式有点错误）
看了之后，突然觉得..我父母每天在家等我从大学回来，我干吗听那些人的唆使放假不回家然后去layan那些酒肉朋友呢？所以现在point又回到那个人的身上，说了都气！不说了！！！
不错看啦，值得一看..haiz..大家开始放假了，我开始开学了 :( 最近变得有点emo，没事最好不要惹到我..我真的是因为头发剪太短+又要回去读书所以才pek cek的..所以..你们不要逼我啊~
