It's Not a Glamorization of Having Cancer Story

Rating: 6/10 (26 June 2014)

If A Walk To Remember and My Sister's Keeper had a baby, this would be it. The Fault in Our Stars is just like any other cancer love story. One of them has cancer (or in this case both), and one dies before the other can do something amazing. It just seems like the whole scenario is overused. At least this didn't glamorize having cancer like most of those movies do. It showed how hard it was, instead of everybody trying to make the situation better. Even though it had the "Star-crossed lovers", it wasn't a total cliché. The only problem was with the dialogue, and the whole thing with metaphors. Not everything is a metaphor, and nobody talks the way Augustus does. And news flash, nobody just puts a unlit cigarette in their mouth, just because it's a "metaphor."
