Far too Overwrought - even for a Cancer film.

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2014)

'The Fault in our Stars' ...eh.
It's a Cancer film, expect to get sad as the stereotypical boy next door helps lonely girl come out of her shell.
For me it was just far too overwrought with the love story angle, I think it was the amount of 'lovey dovey' speeches they made, when there was a lot more room for displaying the love rather than pausing for a whole page monologue about it. Ithich made the pacing of the story a bit choppy and too "Shakespeare in the Park" feeling.
The performances from the cast were just OK. Shalene Woodley definitely stood out however. They certainly would've shone even brighter with better source material.
Wait for this to come on Cable.
