Seth Rogan is legit playing himself in this film. It's based on the writer Will Reiser's actual battle with cancer from years earlier, in which his good friend Rogan stuck by his side the whole time and actually did just about everything we see here.
So glad you watched this one! This is not a very easy movie to watch but I really love it and I feel like not many people have seen it. I love the characters and it feels like a real portrayal of someone going through cancer. The scene before the surgery always makes me weep because I could easily see myself in that same situation, trying to hold it together and begging for my mom. Thanks for the reaction!
Underrated film.. And I love that you go almost the entire film and think..Rogen is just the most self absorbed pr#ck... Then you find out he's just holding on trying to not treat his best friend like some victim.. it's that moment you realize he's the most ride or die friend you could ever have. Such great moment.
All facts! Underrated & what I call ‘underseen’. ‘Lovely Still’ is another one & a fantastic Nov choice😊 A caveat- many to most synopses or reviews may equate to spoilers😩 Ellen Burstyn, Martin Landau, Elizabeth Banks, & Adam Scott… great film!!
This movie introduced me to Anna Kendrick, and I have had a huge crush ever since. Also, I'd really love to see JGL and Seth together in a movie again. I think Kyle has probably always kind of been that way, and is keeping it up because he wants to stay consistent for Adam's sake. He's noticing how everyone else is treating Adam differently, and he doesn't want to do that.
I had never heard of this one, now I want to watch the whole thing. Another movie that is based on real people in a serious medical situation is The Big Sick (2017). It's really good and I think you would enjoy it.
JGL is an underrated actor, after watching 500 days of summer, then seeing him here and a 180 turn in Inception and Looper after. He became one of my favorite actors.
After watching this movie many times, Bryce Dallas Howard really knocked it out of the park. She came across as such a shitty girlfriend that I forgot that she was an actor and just thought she was some asshole girl that was brought into the movie lol
I don't think you've seen any of Bryce Dallas Howard's acting work before, but you have seen her direct in The Mandalorian. And of course you're quite familiar with her father Ron.
Sam, you are literally the GOAT. To me this is the most realistic look at how illness effects people. With out high drama and Oscar speech's it was just about the good and bad that comes out in folks. Having worked in AIDS hospice and dealt with cancer in my family I saw a lot reflective in this film. Oh, and narcissistic a-holes can suck it.
A bit of uncomfortable reality to you seeing this film now, as Phillip Baker Hall (Alan) passed away just a couple months ago at age 90. He had quite a long and distinguished career, but is probably best known as Joe Bookman the library cop in Seinfeld, one of the greatest sitcom guest roles ever.
Ive had cancer. Three times. I've been thru it all. It really sucks. it drains you. your always sick from the chemo. You don't feel like eating because your sick all the time. You loose your hair that's why you shave. But I'm Lucky to be alive.
Another excellent Seth Rogen film. Seth Rogen is from Vancouver, Canada and this movie was shot there. Some of the scenes were shot literally on East Hastings Street (Skid Row) near where I used to work when I got my first job. This was the movie that made me think Seth Rogen could do more than just be a stoner goof and he could handle a more serious role. And Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a really underrated actor. I think he really shows what he can do in Snowden, but that's a controversial movie that will have people at each other's throats in the comment section, so maybe that's one to check out on your own. Good Oliver Stone film, though. I just lost my mom to nonalcoholic liver disease, and she saw this when it came out. This is pretty realistic.
Two weeks ago, I had a life-saving liver transplant. I am currently recovering slowly, but well. The difference I feel now is amazing, compared to 7 years of dealing with nonalcoholic chirosis of the liver. I remember watching this movie years being moved by this movie, and now, after I experienced the moments from a huge 8 hour surgery, it was terrifying and full of anxiety. That scene brought me to tears because I lived through that!
JGL really has some gems out there to discover. Brick, Hesher, and The Lookout come to mind. Don Jon, his directorial debut, is quite good too. He also has funny cameos in the ensemble dark comedy duology Women In Trouble and Electra Luxx, if you ever get around to them.
when i first discovered this movie, i was expecting a typical seth rogan comedy. instead i was in my feels the whole movie and teared up many times. absolutely underrated movie, i love it.
I've told this story in other places, but my aunt was given a terminal diagnosis (six weeks) after years of being fobbed off by doctors and told to lose weight. She lived with us and I went with her to her scan, the nurses started coming over offering me cups of tea and sweets while I waited for her and I knew then it would be bad. when we went in to talk results with the dr (he was almost the opposite of this one in this film, he was so nice about it,) but i could see my aunt disassociating. She heard 'cancer' and just started retreating mentally while outwardly she was all nodding her head, and looking very engaged. I knew she wasnt though.) after we left the room i sat her down in one of the corridors and asked her what she was thinking. she started talking about chemo or alt meds, and i had to say to her, "I'm sorry, Aunty, but he said that there is no treatment for how far you are in this, you are going to die. we are going to spend some time thinking about what that will look like for you and us going forward." and she had a cry and then we went and got a big feed of KFC on the way home. She only lived another 4 weeks, and in some ways knowing it was beyond medical intervention meant we got to skip a lot of the toxic positivity-well meaning ableism that comes with cancer, and focus on the human and social aspect of dying. Cancer is unfortunately a normal occurrence in life, and the way we shutter sufferers and build up these weird walls the harder it is to endure, for both them and us. Because my aunt died so suddenly, drs were amazed she was still working and walking when she finally got her diagnosis, it was a very fast transition to palliative care and we focused on what she wanted, so by the time she had returned to her Lord, we were suddenly left with all this grief we had stored away while doing 'all the things'. I wouldn't wish a death like this on anyone, but i do think there is a pathway through it, for all parties, that has to be better than the end of life and death rituals we practice now. loved the reaction, laughed so hard at all the bald jokes in this, I'm permanently bald myself and people tell me i have a good head for it, and having a stranger in a bar (consensually) rub your head is 10/10 would recommend LOL
Oh my god... wow. My heart dropped reading all of that. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, and so sorry to your aunt. I hope she didn't suffer during the last few weeks. Death is one of the scariest things for me because there's no avoiding it, so being told you only have a few weeks left, I don't know what I'd even do. Thank you for sharing this. May she rest easy. Glad you enjoyed the reaction
@@OGBReacts we were very lucky to live in a country with affordable death care, so she was well taken care of. It was honestly a real human journey to go on and I'm pretty privileged i was able to be there to help her pass. Thank you for your kind words x Have a beautiful day, which is how my Aunt would want us all to do x
Often when I see stories like this one, I really do believe for a lot of us when you know the time is short and there isnt any hope for recovery the mind switches and the decline starts and speeds up, we know the journey has ended and we make our way to the end. Not all cases,some live a long time after,maybe they have a different mind set, who knows..But when you hear the stories,got diagnosed, died 3 days later and etc it does make you think what power our mind has. My condolences for your aunt and i glad she had family like you for her at the end. I just had a month ago a close family friend pass from cancer,she had an aggressive form that wouldnt respond to treatment, she had chemo 3 times, she was finally put into hospice and wasnt there a week when she passed.
@@TimothySmiths in some eastern countries patients aren't informed about a terminal diagnosis- just the next of kin. Its believed once you inform someone they are 'terminal' they decline faster- but as you mention the science is out on that for now- my Aunt was a 'special' case, by the time she was really sick and a GP finally got her those scans the cancer was literally everywhere- they reran the machine again because they thought it was calibrated wrong. She even had it in her hip bones. The dr who diagnosed her was actually shocked she was walking around and had been working the week before. Thanks for your considered comment, death is something we dont often talk about which is so silly because like birth it will happen to us all, i often ponder these things myself!
I love Anna Kendrick in this film. Her personality and quirkyness for me, just made me fall in love with her. It was because of this movie that she became my celebrity crush! I hope to meet somebody like her. Somewhat shy, yet caring, yet silly, a bit messy and has a wonderful smile. lol
The part where he asks for his mom right before going in to get operated on and breaks down always gets me too..I love this film but that part is really rough.
Greattttt pic. Unfortunately- that coldness or perhaps better said aloofness of the Dr seen here is far too common. To this day I give any friends or children of friends graduating medical school the film ‘The Doctor’ with William Hurt. Should be required viewing imho, just as ‘Dave’ should be for all incoming members of Congress… and probably reviewed every yr they hold office🤔😉lol I knew you were ‘good people’ as we say around here😊 My husband and I have been doing Senior & special needs dog rescue for about 15yrs now. Yes- it can be very painful saying goodbye every other year or sometimes every year, but it’s a very rewarding endeavor💜🐾 You learn something different from every dog! There is no better feeling, no bigger compliment, than when a veterinarian, rescue, or animal control calls to ask if you can take one. The flip side- every time we think we’ve seen the worst of so-called ‘humans’… uggh😔 We’ve a little guy w us for 3yrs now- no eyes. He was born w eyes, mind you, but bc ppl can be so cruel, they had to be surgically removed. Bilateral enucleation. But shhhhh!🤫 He has no idea he’s blind; still sees more clearly than I do at times I’m sure! What’s really sick- 3rd pup we’ve had in this situ😔 So at LEAST 3 mo’fo’s in the US sick enough to neglect and/or abuse a helpless animal this way. Disgusting😡😡😡 So YAY!!! for all the old pups w white faces, moon slumped backs, & spotted tummies!!! The world would be such a wonderful place if our pets ran it❤️🩹🐾 Another great, thoughtful reaction. TY! Stay safe & love much💖
Another reaction slayed by The OGB, Thank God for the humor, I needed ever laugh to get through the sad moments...Please react to other Seth Rogan movies, like This Is The End, Knocked Up, Green Hornet, and Pineapple Express, all hilarious

Joe and Seth were in another movie called The Night Before
I had never heard of this one, now I want to watch the whole thing.
Another movie that is based on real people in a serious medical situation is The Big Sick (2017). It's really good and I think you would enjoy it.
JGL is an underrated actor, after watching 500 days of summer, then seeing him here and a 180 turn in Inception and Looper after. He became one of my favorite actors.
Have you seen Brick ?
Or Don Jon which I didn’t like a lot but respect the work.
I've been a JGL fan since 1996 when "Third Rock From the Sun" first came on the air.
He’s literally not underrated at all. People need to stop incorrectly using words.
After watching this movie many times, Bryce Dallas Howard really knocked it out of the park. She came across as such a shitty girlfriend that I forgot that she was an actor and just thought she was some asshole girl that was brought into the movie lol
I really like that this movie shows how these illnesses affect the people around you.
I don't think you've seen any of Bryce Dallas Howard's acting work before, but you have seen her direct in The Mandalorian. And of course you're quite familiar with her father Ron.
Sam, you are literally the GOAT. To me this is the most realistic look at how illness effects people.

First time I have seen a reaction to this movie, made my day somehow lol. Thanks and have a good one
Ive had cancer. Three times. I've been thru it all. It really sucks. it drains you. your always sick from the chemo. You don't feel like eating because your sick all the time. You loose your hair that's why you shave. But I'm Lucky to be alive.
Wow... Absolutely incredible you've beaten it three times
@@OGBReacts yes and I’m 42.
Incredible. I wish you all the best with everything.
That surgery scene and how he breaks down saying “mom” gets me everytime😢

So glad for your new liver!! Thank you for sharing and I hope you continue to recover well! ♥️
I heard that this is funny heartwarming movie with some very serious moments.
One of the things I really appreciate about your channel is the introduction of films I've not otherwise heard of. Thank you for this.
Thanks so much!! Appreciate this!
JGL really has some gems out there to discover. Brick, Hesher, and The Lookout come to mind. Don Jon, his directorial debut, is quite good too.
He also has funny cameos in the ensemble dark comedy duology Women In Trouble and Electra Luxx, if you ever get around to them.
Yes! I reacted to The Lookout not too long ago, severely underrated film, but really good
th-cam.com/video/8k7RuseHWVY/w-d-xo.html
Women In Trouble and Electra Luxx are two great comedies. They're like Lifetime movies if they were directed by Kevin Smith.
when i first discovered this movie, i was expecting a typical seth rogan comedy. instead i was in my feels the whole movie and teared up many times. absolutely underrated movie, i love it.

Love this movie! And enjoyed the reaction, trust i was holding the tears too as much as possible bit couldnt help it.
Great choice! Thanks
Another great and underrated film with Rogen in a semi serious roll is “Take this Waltz”. Check it out y’all
a freaking tear jerker
I love this movie. It's on my- Tugs at My Heart movie list.
I know this is slightly random, but please watch JEFF WHO LIVES AT HOME.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊

Another reaction slayed by The OGB, Thank God for the humor, I needed ever laugh to get through the sad moments...Please react to other Seth Rogan movies, like This Is The End, Knocked Up, Green Hornet, and Pineapple Express, all hilarious
Awesome reaction, can you please watch a movie called MY SISTER'S KEEPER.
if u can react to the bicentennial mal would be awesome u gonna like it ( robin williams )
That's on my list!
Everyone has the same reaction. Why is no one ever happy when they get cancer?
