And feel it you will, which is more than okay.Title : The Fault in Our Stars (Little Infinities Extended Edition) (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD + Infinity Bracelet) ASIN : B00LTA0JBU Description : Two discs Viewers will experience the wonder of falling in love but also the pain of knowing that someone you adore is dying. The supporting characters also deliver laudable performances: Wolff as Gus' blind best friend, and Dern and Trammell as one of the most loving set of parents ever depicted on page or screen. He manages to pull it off beautifully, never letting the character spin out of control or seem false.

Woodley, a Golden Globe nominee and veteran of YA adaptations ( Divergent, The Spectacular Now), delivers a gentle, wickedly smart Hazel, who feels like a grenade about to go off but eventually realizes that she does deserve to be loved by Gus, even if their future is uncertain.īut as lovely as Woodley is as Hazel, the movie belongs to newcomer Elgort (who co-starred as Woodley's brother in Divergent), who has the tough job of being solicitous, sexy, smart, and sensitive all at the same time. There's a sense of panic that the director, screenwriter, and cast won't capture everything you love about the words and characters the author created. Anyone who's ever loved a book knows the hesitance and wariness that mingle with excitement when a beloved novel is turned into a big-screen production. While The Fault in Our Stars isn't a word-for-word translation (nor should it be), it's an adaptation that does Green, Hazel, and Augustus justice. As long as your teens are ready for all the feelings, sadness, and romance, this is a lovely film to watch with them, especially since Hazel's parents are portrayed so positively (they're supportive, loving, and understanding). Gus also frequently puts unlit cigarettes in his mouth. Language is rare but does include one use of "f-k," as well as words like "s-t" and "a-hole." The teen characters drink champagne together, and a key adult supporting character is a drunk who's nearly always sipping from something. The central relationship is beautiful and mature and does lead to a love scene, which is handled tastefully for teen audiences (a girl's naked back and boy's chest are seen). Due to the subject matter, it should come as no surprise that the movie can get emotionally intense - especially when there's a devastating death. Parents need to know that The Fault in Our Stars is a tear-jerking love story about two deep-thinking teens with cancer and is based on one of the most beloved young adult books in recent history, by superstar author John Green.
