Avoid if you have read the book, else watch it!

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2015)

Based on a 2012 novel by the same name by John Green, The fault in our stars is a romantic splendor sure to make your tear ducts work. This is a story of Hazel Grace (played by Shailene Woodley), a cancer diagnosed girl breathing with the help of a nose cannula, and her "the world is not a wish-granting factory" experience and moments. Hazel meets an impossibly charming boy next door, Augustus Walters (played by Ansel Elgort) suffering from a prosthetic leg, at a cancer support group and gradually starts liking him. She is moved by a book she reads, An Imperial Affliction, which ends mid- sentence, and she is very animated to know what happens later to the protagonist. Augustus helps her in meeting the author by traveling to Amsterdam (under critical medical condition), but poor Hazel has to return disappointed as the author behaves scornfully with the young couple. The story further continues with Augustus showering magic in Hazel's life and mesmerizing her, and finally ends on a forlorn note.
Sadly, book readers have not found the movie as delightful as the novel (which is a case with any novel based movie), however the movie stands beautifully as a pure romantic piece in recent times. Set in Indiana, the movie has been neatly shot with delicate art designing and editing. The fault in our stars is about love, pain and memories & is highly recommended for a young adult audience.
