The breakdown:  A young man discovers he has cancer and finds out what kind of person he really is.

For some reason this movie got really good reviews, but it was just ok for me.

A man in his late 20's finds out he has a rare form of cancer.  He goes through the beginning of the treatment trying to stay away from his family, living with a girl who clearly isn't too much into him, and tolerating a high school buddy who's only obsession is sleeping with women.

After the chemo starts, things start to unravel as his sessions with his counselor help him see want he wants out of life.

If you really want to see it, I won't discuss the rest of the movie with you, but I say skip it all together.  It certainly isn't the worst movie, or the best movie, but just in the middle of the road for me.  I did like the greyhound dog in the movie.

2 out of 5 for just being so-so (no pun intended).  I should mention this is based on a true story of some friend of Seth Rogan's.  Even if it's a true story, it's still just so-so.
