Comedy ? What the **** is wrong with you people ?

How can this be categorized as COMEDY?? It has drama written all over it. Maybe the presence of Rogen - which didn't bring anything "comedy" related to the movie anyway - coule be considered somewhat funny. I consider whoever names the genre of this movie to be a complete idiot. Some crap movies WANT to be comedies, and have NOTHING funny in them, but this movie intends to be a soapy drama movie about a young guy having cancer from the start to the end. It so screams in it's attempt to be dramatic on all plans, including the soundtrack.

Offtopic - I found the overall cinematic feeling to be great - awesome shooting, awesome angles, awesome colors !

There was plenty of comedic moments, like for instance the hook up scenes and the history of the electric shaver.

It's definitly a drama-comedy, it is about cancer and is serious in many ways but it's not depressing or sobby or anything.

A good father and a good outlaw can't settle inside the same man.
