How 'Tootsie,' Woody Allen, and More Influenced 'The Big Sick'5 of 9
'50/50' (2011]
"A movie we looked at is 50/50, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. Like The Big Sick, it's based on a true story, in that case Seth Rogen's friendship with screenwriter Will Reiser, who went through chemotherapy and cancer. It’s a great example of a really funny, accessible mainstream movie that’s dealing with something as serious as cancer. But it’s a comedy first."
