Finding Love and Hope Admit Disease!

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2014)

Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley respectively play Augustus and Hazel Grace both suffering from cancer. As both actors are up and coming and Woodley as come a long way since the Secret Life of An American Teenager!
As both meet in a cancer support group. That Hazel dreads but then begins to like due to Gus as she calls him. As both start a friendship than ends up something more.
Both acted with both emotion and with great character depth. And having had two family members myself suffer from cancer and defeating the disease.
Still, it is very sad but also very hopeful of two young people with their lives on the line each and every single day over their cancer. But still, would would rather live life to the fullest rather than face the disease and be defeated by it.
Helping one another out. Despite having to live each and every single day. Fighting for the fight of their lives, in the form of a dreadful disease.
Great supporting cast by Laura Dern and Sam Trammell as the supportive,loving, yet very scared parents of Hazel Grace. Nat Wolffe of the Naked Brothers Band and TV show, as comic relief and another cancer survivor does a great job. Wilem Dafoe in a small yet scary role of a drunk and mean spirited author whom both main characters adore but later find out he is not that kind of person and suffers his own demons.
Really a bittersweet but at the same time, sweet film! Not just another teen movie. Or a cancer movie. But one of love and hope amid trying circumstances.
