The Fault In Our Stars

Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort) are star crossed teenagers who meet in a cancer support group. Woodley & Elgort (real life friends) give phenomenal performances (no fault in these 2 stars) from the cancer patient perspective just trying to be normal and wanting to be treated as normal. You will be bathed in the glow of their love for each other and will be brought to tears at their tragedy. The witty dialogue and a smart script are designed to tug at your heart strings. Teenage girls and incurable romantics will flock to this bittersweet tearjerker. You can't help but root for this engaging young couple through to the bitter end, which shouldn't be unexpected given the Shakespearean title. This film will take you on a marvelous emotional journey.
