10/8 (Päris algusest ei näinud aga väga tore film, isegi kui ma teadsin et siin on ilus lõpp, siis ajas natukene nutma.. sest well vähk pole kunagi naljateema olnud.)

Adam on 27-aastane noor raadioajakirjanik, kellel on kunstnikust tüdruksõber Rachael ning kolleegist parim sõber Kyle, kes ei talu Rachaelit silma otsastki.

Kuid ühel hetkel hakkab selg Adamile haiget tegema ja mehel diagnoositakse raskekujuline seljavähk. Ta uurib asja internetist ja leiab et võimalus surra ja eluga pääseda on 50/50. Adam teatab uudisest ka emale Dianele, kes kodus ravib Alzheimeri tõve kannatavat abikaasat Richardit, ema tahaks poega aidatta aga Adam keeldub, kuna Rachel on tal abiks.

Ravil kohtub Adam ka Micthi ja Alaniga, kahe vanema mehega, kellel on ka vähk. Rachaelile aga ei meeldi vähiravi ja ta jääb pidevalt hiljaks. Samuti toob ta Adamile vana koera, keda Adam ei taha algselt. Ja kogu protsessi juures on abiks ka Kyle, kes aitab Adamit juustega ning viib ja toob ta ravile ning püüab Adami haigusega naisi. Samuti avastab Kyle kord kohtingul käies, et Rachael petab Adamit ja avaldab selle ka kohe Adamile, nii et Adam ja Rachael lähevad lahku.

Samal ajal käib Adam ka terapeudi juures, kelleks on üsna uus ja algaja Katherine. Alguses on nende suhtlemine konarlik, kuid hakkab sujuma kui Katherine viib Adami koju ja mees ta auto puhtaks teeb. Ta aitab mehel mõista oma ema ning Adam püüab oma suhteid emaga klapitada. Siis aga sureb Mitch ja Adam mõistab et ka tema sureb, vaatamata sellele, et kõik ütlevad et kõik saab korda.

Adami ainus võimalus selgub et on operatsioon, kuid see on raske ja keeruline ning kui ebaõnnestub, on kõik läbi. See viib mehe endast välja ja ta läheb Kylega tülli, kuid helistab Katherinele ja teatab et sooviks, et too oleks tema tüdruk olnud. Samuti leiab Adam Kyle juurest raamatu vähiravi kohta, kus mees on tähtsad kohad ära märkinud ja mõistab et Kyle hoolib temast tegelikult ka.

Järgmine päev on operatsioon ja Kyle ning Adam lepivad ära ja Adam läheb opile. Ootesaali tuleb ka Katherine, kes kohtub Adami sõbra ja vanematega. Operatsioon kestab kaua ja selgub et vähk oli oodatust suurem, kuid operatsioon õnnestus ning Adam on vähivaba.

Möödub natukene aega ning Kyle aitab Adamit sidemetega ning siis tuleb Katherine külla ning Kyle kiidab Adami uue pruudi heaks, kuigi siiani pole ükski neiu mehele sobinud.

Rachael: Why am I the bad guy?
Kyle: Because you're his girlfriend, you cheated on him, and he has fucking cancer, you lunatic!

Adam: A tumor?
Dr. Ross: Yes.
Adam: Me?
Dr. Ross: Yes.
Adam: That doesn't make any sense though. I mean... I don't smoke, I don't drink... I recycle...

Kyle: You could have totally fucked the shit out of that girl.
Adam: No one wants to fuck me. I look like Voldemort.

Kyle: She doesn't blow you?
Adam: ...She doesn't like to.
Kyle: Of course she doesn't like to. No one likes putting a dick in their mouth.

Adam: See, but... that's bullshit. That's what everyone has been telling me since the beginning. "Oh, you're gonna be okay," and "Oh, everything's fine," and like, it's not... It makes it worse... that no one will just come out and say it. Like, "hey man, you're gonna die."

Adam: Why didn't we go to a barber?
Kyle: That would have been a good idea if we paid someone to do it.
Adam: Using your fucking balls trimmer instead of going to the barber.
Kyle: I never washed them, ever. It's not my balls, it's my asshole. I'm joking.
Adam: You're not joking.

Adam: You should go.
Rachael: I don't want to go. I want to stay here with you.
Adam: No, seriously... you need to get the fuck off my porch.

Kyle: I was in the neighborhood - I was just on a date with Claire, the girl I met at the bookstore? My date did not go well, unfortunately, due to a lack of chemistry... and, I think, an overuse of profanity on my part. But, whilst on my date... I ran into Rachael.
Adam: Oh, yeah?
Kyle: And I would like to present to you what I am going to call Exhibit... *Whore*! Look at it! That's Rachael! And that's a fuckin' filthy, Jesus-looking motherfucker, and they're kissing! I did it! I fuckin' nailed you! I've hated you for months, and now I have fuckin' evidence that you suck as a person! Holy shit! Holy shit!

Adam: What were you doing when I called? Were you on facebook?
Katherine: You know... umm... stalking my ex-boyfriend actually isn't the only thing I do in my free time.
Adam: I wish you were my girlfriend.
Katherine: Girlfriends can be nice. You just had a bad one.
Adam: I bet you'd be a good one.

Kyle: You smell like you fucked the cast of The View.

Adam: I see. So, have you had very many patients? Or...
Katherine: My patient history is not...
Adam: I'm your first patient, aren't I?
Katherine: No. No, not at all.
Adam: Second?
Katherine: No.
Adam: Third? Wow, okay, third. How are the first two doing?

Adam: That's what everybody's been saying: You'll feel better and don't worry and this is all fine and it's not.
Katherine: You can't change your situation. The only thing that you can change is how you choose to deal with it.


Adam: I want this to be over. I'm so fucking tired of being sick... if this surgery doesn't work, that's it. I've never been to fucking Canada or told a girl I love her... it sounds stupid.
Katherine: No. It doesn't.
Adam: I'm sorry I was such an asshole.
Katherine: I was the asshole. I was so totally unprepared for you. This job is really hard. If I fuck up, I could ruin someone's whole life.
Adam: I guess we're both beginners at this.

Mitch: Why haven't we met Rachel?
Alan: Yeah! What the fuck?

Adam: Aren't you supposed to be wearing an earth-toned sweater and be like 65 or somethin?

Kyle: Driving! That's what you want to do? That's your "Make A Wish"? To drive? We could be having sex with hookers while skydiving, and instead you want to do something I learned to do when I was fifteen!

Alan: I'm Alan Lombardo: stage 3 lymphoma. Pleased to meet you.
Mitch: Mitch Barnett, metastatic prostate cancer.
Adam: Oh, I'm Adam Lerner, schwannoma neurofibrosarcoma.
Alan: What the fuck is that?
Mitch: Tough break. The more syllables, the worse it is.

Kyle: Oh no. No, you're are not calling her man! After what she did to you? You're a pussy Adam!
Adam: You're a selfish piece of shit! Care more about getting yourself fucking laid than being my friend!

Kyle: You'll be fine. 50/50! If you were a casino game you'd have the best odds!
