Lack of substance

Rating: 1/10 (22 August 2014)

Take out cancer and they are left with a hollow storyline. The movie is simply not believable to me. I know it is fiction but fiction can be made into a very believable film if it has relatable characters or storyline. Not to mention, I find Gus' character rather simple- minded. Hazel's parents characteristics are contradictory too. They are portrayed to be protective of their daughter's well-being and safety but this conveniently dissipates when Hazel wanted to fly to Amsterdam with Gus. Sorry, I think this is not for a more realistic/mature audience, don't get me wrong, I love romantic films but this is sadly not my cup of tea.
