Movie Review: The Fault In Our Stars

Enriching and thought-provoking, a film not to be missed

Someone hand me the tissues

When you're sat on your sofa pondering what film you fancy watching it's not difficult to select a film and immediately watch it from the ease of your computer or TV; then if you don't like it you can stop watching with the click of a button, without having lost a penny. But when we come across a trailer for a new film we have to think a lot more carefully about whether we are willing to watch the film since, at the end of the day, money is money and if you watch a rubbish movie you will have wasted that money. Evidently it's important that the movie you choose to watch at the cinema will be worth the money. I can say with immense gratification that this is a film unlike any others, exceptional and definitely one you will watch without regret.

The movie adaptation of John Green's evocative and poignant novel, The Fault In Our Stars is by far a film you do not want to miss! The film follows the story of sixteen-year-old, Hazel Grace who suffers thyroid cancer. On attending a cancer support group Hazel meets seventeen-year-old  Augustus Waters, who once suffered from osteosarcoma which caused the loss of his leg. These two teenagers are like no other, they face death with a new perspective and courageous strength. It's not just a love story but an insight into the impact of cancer.

Just as with the book, i thoroughly enjoyed this film. It will make you laugh, it will make you smile (trust me, i had a cheesy grin plastered on my face) and as you may have heard, it will make you cry. Undoubtedly the work put into this film was not wasted and i came away in complete admiration for the actors at how they so convincingly created the characters and were able to convey intense emotions in the most part of the film.

Okay. So you will probably pass this off if you don't like films that explore relationships. However if you do have even the smallest interest in romance or just familial relationships being explored in films then you need to get down to your local cinema and watch this film! I can explain to you using as many descriptive words as possible that this is a movie beyond the definition of incredible but honestly words beseech me. There's still time, so the best advice i'd give to you would be to watch this film- you won't be disappointed!
