A welcome surprise

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2014)

This movie surprised me to say the least. I went in, not even really being a big fan of the book, needing to know how much worse they would make the movie. Imagine my surprise as I watch a perfectly good movie that even moved me to tears (of both joy and sadness). The actors playing Hazel and Gus are perfectly chosen and do the trick perfectly. As I thought the book to be a little bit to "flat", lacking a certain amount of depth in the characters, the movie does not give me the same feeling. However they choose their highlights a little bit differently then in the book, it all makes more sense to me this way.
A big thumbs up for this movie!
