Review of The Fault in Our Stars (2014) by Vincem — 10 Jun 2014

This movie was a very pleasant surprise and I have not read the book. Yes, I expected a tragic love story but the sarcastic playful humor on the part of Hazel Grace and her lover, Augustus, was captivating.

Near the tragic end (it became quite obvious somebody was going to die - the only question was who was first) others around me were crying out loud. I was moved but not to tears because the chemistry seemed so natural between them and the script flowed so well.

This film was more than touching and insightful - it gave me a sense of hope that life's suffering and tragedies can have great meaning.
