Trough a chance meeting at a Support Group, two cancer patients, Hazel and Gus, fall in love (aww...)

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2014)

The Fault in Our Stars put a smile on my face from start to finish, mainly because I had read the book. It does the book justice in wonderful fashion. The characters are very well put together in the film. Isaac in particular gets a lot more of personality and more funny moments in the film than in the book. Props to the writers for that! Also, the film has a wonderful sense of pace. It is able to blend the same realistic humor and drama together from the book seamlessly well. It was also very creative with its visuals as well. For those of you who don't know, the book the film's based on contains a lot of texts and emails during Hazel and Gus's conversations. I like how the movie didn't stick to one style. Sometimes thought bubbles filled the screen and other times the camera showed the screen Hazel was texting on. That being said, do I think this movie is flawless? No. For starters this film has A lot of pop songs. Like I mentioned in my Divergent review, props to them for actually using their soundtrack, but they didn't need to include so many to begin with. Also, the film makes certain parts a lot more sappy and therefore more clique than in the book. It's ironic how much the film tries to stay AWAY from these cliques but sometimes falls right into it. It's almost as if the film was originally made in a unique way, then the director thought "Wait, this film still needs to make money" and decided to add a hint of Hollywood cheese. Either way, this movie was a lot of fun to watch. I can overlook its flaws to be very content with this one. There are few faults in these stars.
