The reason that The Fault in Our Stars works so well is that its main draw (the teenage love story) is tied so expertly to its emotional core (Hazel's relationship with her parents).

The Fault In Our Stars could indeed become this generation's Love Story -- mildly implausible, but genuinely moving.

Funnily enough, the producers of the Twilight series are behind the latest teen adaptation, but The Fault in Our Stars is a more serious take.

Do the tears flow? It's hard to stop them but it's a reflex action, triggered by the tragic conjunction of cancer and the young, rather than any sense of kinship with the particular pair you've been watching on screen.

It's a carpe diem love story that overcomes its own faults, and earns its tempered hopefulness, by maturely recognizing that love and pain are equal, and often intertwined, parts of life.

"The Fault in Our Stars" is unabashed in its efforts to make you well up, but the tears come from a real place.

Jul 01, 2019A beautiful and mesmerizing movie, with fantastic performances, but super depressing and unpleasantly heartbreaking: not for sensitive viewers...Serge E Super Reviewer

Aug 22, 2016Surprisingly well made issue movie with a sterling lead performance - though I had a problem with a tiny but belief-defying moment involving some spontaneous applause, as well as a major issue with both the character of Gus and the actor portraying him (I believed in neither).Daniel P Super Reviewer

Jun 09, 2015Any film that can force me to shed a tear gets extra marks and The Fault In Our Stars qualifies in this regard. How you view this story might depend on your opinion on loss. Those like me who think it's better to have the good for however long than none at all will see it one way. Others who think you are better off not knowing what you are missing might see it less positively. A story about 2 teens (Hazel and Gus) who meet at a cancer support group might not immediately seem like something you would want to watch but it is funny at times and very positive in the main. Gus is full of himself but not in an arrogant way, I thought it more of an inner confidence. Hazel is more insular and reserved and is probably caused by the isolation forced upon her by the ongoing treatment. Their parents try their best to be supportive whilst at the same time giving them space but they find this balance difficult at times. Hazel and Gus are heavily influenced by a book about a character who goes through the same experience as them except that the novel ends abruptly and this is a source of irritation for the both of them. I'll admit to finding The Fault In Our Stars a bit too sickly sweet at times but when it scores, it scores very well. The main reason for this is that I found Gus and Hazel believable and very likeable. I warmed to them both very quickly. I also liked Laura Derns performance as Hazels Mum and Willem Dafoes performance (always good) gives weight to the saying that you should never meet your heroes as it can be a disappointment.Justin F Super Reviewer

Mar 28, 2015A pretty good film, and an interesting take on love, life, and death. This kind of reminds me of Perks of Being a Wallflower, just about death instead of growing up, high school, etc. I'd recommend seeing this film.Stephen S Super Reviewer
