Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2014)

There are film adaptations that don't even scratch the surface of the original book; there are film adaptations that blow the book so out of proportion that it isn't even about the book any more; and then there's "The Fault in Our Stars."
Having read the book prior to watching the film, I had very high expectations. Simply put, this film adaptation nails it. The screenplay doesn't copy the book word for word, but it doesn't need to. The plot, casting, setting and props are nailed to a T. And of course, as with any film adaptation, the screenplay has its own quirks but it fits so perfectly that even the most OCD of book-readers wouldn't twitch an eye over them.
If you've read the book, you will definitely approve of this movie. And bring a tissue box to the theatres, you're definitely going to need it. Try not to mind all the ugly sobbing you'll hear around you ;)
