One should not even look at this title unless if she is a twelve year old or younger. One of the cheesiest, most predictable films that I have ever laid my eyes upon.

One of the cheesiest, most predictable films that I have ever laid my eyes upon. Symbolism is often a key and interesting part in movies, but this movie outright abused it. Any so called symbolism they had, the main characters explicitly explained to the audience what it was. Oh yeah, let us also point out that they make out in Anne Frank's room and everyone claps, because that is not strange at all! The drawn out scenes..............please spare yourselves the agony of exposing anyone to this pathetically contrived tragedy and retain a part of your brain so that you may use it in the future.… Expand

Yuck! What a sappy movie! Haven't we seen stuff like this many times before, for example, Princes in Exile (1990) which altogether was a better flick. They should stop making movies like this altogether as I am running out of barf bags.

However, I didn't realize that this movie is it's OWN genre. It's unrealistic adventure of two cancer patients tries to be a tear jerker but ends up being a film that painfully reminds you of Twilight. What should be two teens struggling with cancer and finding light in dark room turns out to be an expression of two teens having fun in a ball pit. The character's relationship is that of two mayflies that happened to think one had a cute butt.… Expand

The horrid language and ideas being thrown around for the duration of the film were beyond belief; the whole fiasco seemed tailored to newly-heartbroken teenagers with their assortment of fan gear and tears. No true purveyor of literature should read the book; the same goes doubly for this ramshackle excuse of a movie.… Expand

What's the point of this movie? Highly recommended for all masochist or moody paranoid teenagers. The plot is horrible, the characters are painful and the conclusion is an absolute waste of time.

Really they accept each other's love in an artifact of mass murder and were suppose o be ok with this. This movie is just way to damn whimsical, Willem Defoe character is the most real character and he is marked as the villain the realist is the villain a straw man at that too.… Expand

There was not a single moment at which I even felt obliged to cry as the characters were as two dimensional as the plot which is unfortunately, yet unsurprisingly, just another teen romance novel disguised behind what could have been a very deep and meaningful message. Another chick-flick that falls short on all bases, especially acting and dialogue.… Expand

This movie was utterly one of the most poorly executed movies in the past couple years. It had potential and a good premise, the book was good. Directing was disastrous, acting sub par, cheesy, pretentious garbage i wish I never saw.

This is objectionable on nearly every level. Based on a best selling book it can claim as its own a lead female character who is, oh so, with it and everyone calls her by, not one, but two names- Hazel Grace, if you will! It also has a cool male lead and we know this because he goes around with an unlit cigarette between his teeth as a metaphor for life and death. So far, so vomit inducing, and that's just for starters. The screenplay and dialogue is so saccharine that diabetes sufferers should steer well clear.
Shailene Woodley, reminding one of a young Debra Winger in her manner, is obviously capable of handling better material, but is only ok under such unfair circumstances. However, in the male lead Ansel Elgort is just annoying. The film is also desperately overlong and the scenes involving Willem Dafoe just don't work at all. We are also treated to an embarrassing first kiss between the two leads in the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam, which actually has the other visitors applauding and tips the film into bathos.
The lack of empathy one feels for the characters is also underlined by a syrupy score and some of the worst songs to be heard in a film for quite some time. At one point Woodley says that a nurse once asked her on a scale of 1-10 where she would rate her pain. I would have to disagree with her 9 and say my pain level was at the 10 mark. This is the sort of film you wish they didn't make anymore and the critics that have praised it, enticing my viewing, leave me baffled.… Expand

What a disappointment. This movie is grossly overrated. Terrible acting and a story that runs at a glacial pace. Unless you are 12 years old, I imagine you'll be terribly disappointed.

Blah!" and would be rated "T" (terrible).

Bassically It's about this girl with lung cancer and a guy with lip cancer (I think) and (SUPRISE!) they fall in love with each other and do things that should NOT be mentioned in this review (Oh, gross).

I do NOT reccomend buying, renting, or even PIRATING this movie, as it is terrible.

Another installation of a film adaption of a macabre writing genre more commonly known as sick lit. Aimed specifically to appeal to the Twilight crowd, this movie does not do the book justice. Too many omitted scenes mar the characterAnother installation of a film adaption of a macabre writing genre more commonly known as sick lit. Aimed specifically to appeal to the Twilight crowd, this movie does not do the book justice. Too many omitted scenes mar the character development of people who become defined by nothing more than their illness. The numerous clichés (eg they both grab something at the same time because they're so in sync). The movie purposes removes the grittiness that grounded the book in reality to create an almost fairy tale like story with a dash of cancer thrown in for tear jerking. Woodley seems to be this generation's Kristen Stewart and has the lack of emotion to match.

Forget the movie, read the book instead… Expand

This movie was not only stupid, but boring as f**k. Besides being medically, and scientifically inaccurate, it showcases the highest degree of narcissism in young people, and is disrespectful to Holocaust survivors. Skip it.
