One of the best love stories and movies in years

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2014)

The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful and thought provoking movie. The story centers on two young adults Hazel and Gus who without giving too much away have been battling cancer since they were little. The story is from Hazel's point of view. The movie is based off a best selling book. For fans of the book, well every fan is different but it was one of the most faithful and best book adaptations. In fact the movie actually ends better than the book. It gets the final lines just right. It may not be the ending I wanted after falling in love with the characters of Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster. The movie is about life, love, friendship, family, humor,living with a cloud over your head and death. It has a lot of humor and a lot of heart. It is well written and acted.
Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort are perfectly cast as Hazel and Gus. Both give powerful performances. They are both amazing and gifted actors. Shailene and Ansel's on screen chemistry is natural, beautiful and phenomenal. They make Hazel and Gus not only one of the most memorable movie love stories in decades but two of the most likable and memorable characters to hit the screen.
Before this movie I was familiar with Shailene Woodley and knew she was talented so it was Ansel Elgort who really blew me away in this movie. Gus is such a remarkable character. You fall in love with him and his humor and his spirit. He is more relatable and memorable than Lloyd, Duckie, Landon, Noah,etc and Ansel brought Gus to live perfectly. His performance will make you laugh, and cry like a baby.
This movie is worth checking out more than once and is not just a movie for young adults.
It's one of the best love stories and movies in years.
