Unlike other US blockbuster summer flicks, the Fault in Our Stars didn’t rely on big names, explosions or massive use of special effects– and it didn’t need any.
Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel’s other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fall in love at the strangest of places
Based on John Green‘s wildly popular young-adult novel about two cancer-stricken teenagers who fall hopelessly in love with one another, TFIOS is filled with somber quotes about true love (and loss).
Better get those tissues ready.
The Fault in Our Stars is now available on DVD through Magnavision.
