Major Movie Review: The Fault in our Stars

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2015)

Aww look at that! Aside from movies about graphic sex addiction and brutal R-rated revenge tales involving hammering FOOLS through the crown of their skulls, I make room for the softer side. The ones that might just make you feel all fuzzy inside and perhaps call for a box of tissues. I love me a good tear jerker is what I'm saying, and there wasn't a bigger waterworks show this year than the ones that happened at theatres showing THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. Did I crack and cry glorious man tears?
Hazel Grace Lancaster (SHAILENE WOODLEY) is a young woman who has terminal lung cancer. She carries a oxygen tank around with her EVERYWHERE she goes. Yet, there's so much more to her: she's really sophisticated, she has a wit to her, plus she's really pretty. Despite this fatal "journey" she finds ways to get the most out of the life she has left. After much insistence from her mother (LAURA DERN) Hazel Grace goes to a cancer support group meeting. There she meets, Augustus Waters (ANSEL ELGORT or as I now call him "the guy your girlfriend now wants), he is also an ex-cancer patient who unfortunately lost his leg to his sickness. There meeting sparks a romance that we the audience watch and grow on and I'll leave it at that because I want first time viewers to really soak in how this romance is told.
Please check out my full review of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS on my Tumblr, link to that is in my InstaBio and let me know what you think.
