Richard R Having watched this movie in my late 50's and see it more than once, I'm not 61 I have to say it takes the subject matter and does not use the usual non-sense. It's beautifully written and acted. The only thing I ever wondered about was why did the hospitals not allow non-family to visit. Hospital rules have been far more relaxed than that forever. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Jonathan K TEAR. JERKER. But yet I feel like this movie is crazy manipulative, with the soundtrack, the dialogue that could only happen when lines are prepared, and the pristinely moving speeches. It's sooo melodramatic and as such probably made more for teens and college kids with frontal lobes still in development than grown adults, but yet... it worked? Even when I knew that I was watching something supremely cheesy and formulated to jerk them tears, it still got to me. There is some really solid acting by Shailene Woodley, but in my opinion, this was a pretty inauspicious start as a lead actor to Ansel Elgort's career. He wasn't good.

A decade later and this works so well with solid acting, a beautiful love story, and some amazing leads Based on the book by John Greene inspired by Julius Caesar and directed by Josh Boone starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort It's one of those cancer love stories we are very familiar with but the solid chemistry of its co-stars makes it difficult to turn away rather than coming off as a disease of the week movie Hazel is a young teenager diagnosed with lung cancer at a very young age and to her she's a grenade meaning she could blow up everyone's lives in an instant never knowing if she'll live a life without worrying about her health She's also never experienced true love All that changes when she meets Gus at a support group she's reluctant to go to Both of them hit it off very well slowly blooming into a cute romance Hazel also has this dream of meeting her favorite author of her favorite book in Germany and thanks to Gus it may be possible so she can finally understand the ending Hazel and Gus also have their buddy Issac who's reeling from a breakup I'm not gonna lie i did wipe my eyes from tears a few times The two leads have such incredible personalities and sell their relationship I absolutely loved the parents in this played by both Laura Dern and Sam Trammell, heck I wish they were in the movie more because they're so lovable The soundtrack is also very cool and when they go to Germany it's very uplifting The look of the film is also very crisp and clear Life doesn't have to be perfect for love to be extraordinary, it doesn't matter if you're loved by all only one person is enough, pain demands to be felt, cancer is one thing but two people falling for each other is so much stronger Boone and the cast make for a very heartfelt, heartbreaking, and effective love story that makes itself stand out from the typical films most viewers know And it isn't made to manipulate or exploit its subject matter Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Hargie M While the film may have brought tears to my eyes more than once, it also left me with a profound sense of hope and gratitude for the beauty of life and love.
