New movies: ’50/50′ and ‘What’s Your Number”

The World

It’s Friday, when we talk about new movies here on The Takeaway. This week, we’re talking about “50/50,” a comedy about a young guy with cancer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, and “What’s Your Number?,” another comedy – this one centers on dating and relationships – with Anna Faris. Rafer Guzman  and  Kristen Meinzer, our intrepid Movie Date podcast hosts, give us their reviews. Meinzer is a producer for The Takeaway, and Guzman is a film critic for Newsday.
Below, the trailers for “50/50” and “What’s Your Number.”
