The odds given a cancer patient in "50/50" also reflect the balance struck between comedy and drama in a movie that takes on a difficult subject. Much of the comedy feels forced, but its dramatic underpinnings will have you hoping that this patient makes it. Based on screenwriter Will Reiser's own bout with cancer, "50/50" certainly understands the physical and psychological ramifications of its topic. The protagonist, Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), is a 27-year-old producer at a public radio station in Seattle.

There's something so deceptively simple about a fabulous dress. You might look at this blue bombshell and think, "That's style? How hard is it to throw on one little dress in the morning?" But that's where you'd be oh-so-wrong. This dress is fabulous on its own, with the feminine detailing, covered buttons and flair at the hem. But it also fits Lauren Reiser like it was made just for her, and is in a color so stunning, it actually made people stop and stare. This is exactly the kind of dress every woman should own. Age: 24 Residence: Locust Point Job: Commercial interior designer for Arris, a Design Studio Inc. Self-described style: "Sexy, classy and comfortable."

DOVER, DEL. -- With 53 laps to go yesterday in NASCAR's Neighborhood Excellence 400, Matt Kenseth's crew chief, Robbie Reiser, told his driver it was time for a pit stop. You need fresh tires, Reiser said over the radio as the yellow caution flag went up. Get in here. Now. Kenseth, in fifth place, looked at the drivers in front of him: Jamie McMurray, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Jeff Burton. None was going in for tires. Kenseth figured if he pitted, he could probably make up some ground, but not all of it. But if he stayed on the track, remained calm, trusted his car and his instincts, he thought he could win. It wasn't a tough call for Kenseth.

"Mad About You" is the second funniest pilot of the new season. But its star, Paul Reiser, is funnier than either Susan Dey or Jay Thomas, stars of "Love and War," the funniest pilot of the year.NBC is packaging Reiser and "Mad About You" as the second half of what it hopes will be a one-two comedy knockout punch on a very competitive and financially important night. Reiser & Co. follows Jerry Seinfeld and "Seinfeld" at 9:30 on WMAR (Channel 2).If you like "Seinfeld," you'll probably like "Mad About You."
