Maybe they’ll take stock of their young lives the same way the characters do, without the sword of cancer hanging over their heads.Īnd they’ll learn the clichés, even as a nice, metaphoric lecture about cigarettes is tucked in between the dates, the animated text messages, the wish fulfillment fantasy and the tragedy that may be the only “true” thing “The Fault in Our Stars” actually manages. She is forced by her parents to attend a cancer patient support group, where she meets and falls in love with Augustus Waters.

Hello my beautiful readers Today Im going to review the film adaptation of The Fault In Our Stars.

It’s for teenage girls, and the boys they can wrangle into coming to see it with them. Parents need to know that The Fault in Our Stars is a tear-jerking love story about two deep-thinking teens with cancer and is based on one of the most beloved young adult books in recent history, by superstar author John Green. It is a sweet story of first love and kids who have the decks stacked against them, but still do everything for each other.

The Fault in Our Stars (2014) PG-13 125 min - Romance, Drama - Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. Woodley, dazzling in “The Descendants” and “The Spectacular Now,” is merely a convincing lure for Elgort, who lifts his game to hang with her, though not quite enough to make the literary locutions of Gus come out sounding natural.
