Synopsis: Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley), a 16-year-old cancer patient, meets and falls in love with Gus Waters (Ansel Elgort), a similarly afflicted teen from her cancer support group. Hazel feels that Gus really understands her. They both share the same acerbic wit and a love of books, especially Grace's touchstone, "An Imperial Affliction" by Peter Van Houten. When Gus scores an invitation to meet the reclusive author, he and Hazel embark on the adventure of their brief lives.

Review Roundup:

The Fault in Our Stars is an "irresistible fantasy" that was "eagerly anticipated!" Although "emotionally inert" compared to the book, the movie is an "effective tearjerker"

    Shailene Woodley saves this from being a train-wreck. Unreasonable set up, and a completely dislikeable main character (Augustus) prevent this from being wonderful. Its just sappy and sooky. 67%

    This romantic drama gives you hope. Whether you have suffered from cancer or any illness it shows you that its never too late to find/fall in love. Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters may be sick but they are living life. A MUST SEE!

    I really like the story. Cancer is not the only subject, to me is the fact that they both are determine to figure out how the story really ends before they part from the world.
