The fault is in the script, but still beautiful nonetheless.

First off, i hate to be that guy, I really do. The Fault in our stars, or TFIOS for short, really did play up the tumblr, edgy teen culture. For those who are familiar, will definitely understand. For those who can not fathom the utter confusion that is click clacking from my keyboard, let me explain.
TFIOS really did have some questionable script writing and just weird, trying too hard metaphors. Augustus, the young boyfriend to fellow cancer patient and main character; Hazel, followed the cheap bad boy gone good image, topping it all off posing with a cigarette. Because, you know, it's definitely NOT to appeal to the edgy "look at me, Im young and I smoke, i'm so deep" scene.
HOWEVER, the movie is good. very good. It's sad. Very sad. There's something oddly heartwarming about a young couple who fight through pain together. The pain in this story however is the fact the couple share cancer. Although, it indeed hide the gore and scars of the devastating disease, it needs to be remembered it is a love story, NOT primarily about having cancer.
To keep in relatively short, Shailene Woodley (Hazel) great performance,, Ansel Elgort (Augustus) stole the show at the petrol station (you'll see) , Nat Wolf (Isaac) (Gus' friend) one touching scene, Parents (mum: Laura Dern, had great moments) (Dad: Sam Trammell, about as moving as a sleeping snorlax without the poke flute).
I suggest watching this with plenty of tissues as this will make you cry. Too many times to count. The soundtrack complemented the movie very well and, in the end, shows that an egg on it's own may be repulsive, if you cook that with other ingredients, you get a lovely sweet cake, like this movie.
The movie is sweet.
