After starring together in the sci-fi flick <\/span>Divergent<\/span><\/i>, Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort are back on the big screen. This time for the anticipated adaptation of John Green’s best-selling book <\/span>The Fault in Our Stars<\/span><\/i>; a cancer-stricken love story that captures the reality of life and the journey that is death.<\/span><\/p>\n

The movie opens up with voiceover from the main character, Hazel Grace Lancaster, helping to keep the first-person element in which the book was written.<\/span><\/p>\n

Concerned with their daughters state of depression, Hazel’s parents (played by Laura Dern and Sam Trammell) send her off to a support group. Accompanied by her oxygen tank, she bumps into Augustus Waters (literally) and their little infinity begins. <\/span><\/p>\n

These two are a true example of opposites attract. Hazel is a down-to-earth, insightful teenager with lung cancer while Augustus is a pretentious, yet incredibly charming, guy in remission of osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that left him with a prosthetic leg. <\/span><\/p>\n

But even the most pretentious people have a softer side to them. Seeing Augustus\u2019 vulnerable side in the gas station scene was a key in understanding his three-dimensional persona. <\/span><\/p>\n

The story brings out it’s elements of humor through Patrick<\/span>\u2014<\/span>portrayed by Mike Birbiglia<\/span>\u2014<\/span>the leader of the support group and also Augustus\u2019s best friend Isaac (<\/span>Nat Wolff<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Isaac\u2019s friendship with Hazel is not as developed as it is in the book which is a shame since it minimizes his dramatic and amusing personality. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There were a few things that were left out<\/span>\u2014<\/span>such as Augustus\u2019 dead ex-girlfriend Caroline Mathers<\/span>\u2014<\/span>but those who never read the book will never find any holes in the plot. <\/span><\/p>\n

On a slight negative note, the impact of cancer on Hazel\u2019s health was never emphasized enough, physically. For a person with stage-4 lung cancer she handled the flights of stairs in the Anne Frank house quite well. <\/span><\/p>\n

But regardless of all these minor details left out, the film still flowed perfectly. <\/span><\/p>\n

The screenwriters did a great job at trimming down the fat and keeping the moments that will touch the lives of more than just young adults. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Fault in Our Stars<\/span><\/i> is one of the few films that stays true to the book from its chalk-like font to the witty dialogue, book lovers will have nothing to be disappointed about.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
