Review of The Fault in Our Stars (2014) by Farqussus — 24 Jun 2014
The leading man is insufferably cocky and completely unable to convey genuine emotion when it was desperately needed. Laura Dern is wasted and seems embarrassed by what she was required to do. Woodley performed well, despite never once looking even vaguely ill, and her 80's mom haircut never having a hair out of place.
The lead's friend, who is going blind for god's sake, is there solely for comic relief, and once he is blind is still only given glib interjections. At no point did I believe any of them was ill. I didn't believe anything.
I cracked up laughing in the inevitable scene-designed-to-make-everyone-cry. It looked like it was made for the Hallmark channel, and I'm sure there it will have a much longer life than these kids.
