Some go into depression like Hazel, others are determined to seize the day like Gus. These are star-crossed lovers who are living on uncertain terms and they react to that in different ways. “The Fault in Our Stars” is your typical teenage romantic fare, but the twist of them being cancer patients definitely gives it a unique angle. As the movie started, I finally got to see what all of the excitement was about. I guess this was how my wife felt when I dragged her to the Star Wars movies. As I walked in, the entire theater was 100% packed with women, young girls, and a handful of men who looked like deer stuck in headlights. We attended a special screening at the Alamo Drafthouse in Houston. But she also hasn’t been this excited about a book or movie since “The Hunger Games.” So I immediately took notice. Go figure considering I love them, but I guess a kid has to rebel somehow. The first is that my 15-year-old daughter generally doesn’t care about movies. But one day, in the middle of a meeting, my phone started going nuts as my daughter texted me begging to get advance screening tickets for this film. And unless you’re female and under 30, you probably haven’t either. I had never heard of “The Fault in Our Stars” before. “The Fault in Our Stars” is rated PG-13 for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language. As the two get to know each other, they are drawn closer together by a quest to meet Hazel’s favorite author, but their journey will take them in directions they never dreamed possible. Of course, they are soon attracted to each other. Outgoing, fearless, and flirtatious, Gus is everything that Hazel is not. Initially completely disillusioned by the group, Hazel eventually meets another survivor named Gus.
She’s depressed that she doesn’t have enough energy, that death constantly looms over her, and that she can’t have a relationship like other girls her age.Ĭoncerned with her daughter’s well-being, Hazel’s mother Frannie encourages her to attend a cancer patients’ support group.
Now as a teenager about to graduate from high school, she finds herself depressed. Though Hazel has responded well to experimental treatments, she still must live on oxygen.
At a young age, she was diagnosed with cancer and spent most of her youth fighting back from the brink of death. “The Fault in Our Stars” is based on the book by John Green.
