Went to watch this in the cinema. Thought it was going to be decent considering the reviews. Movie was just a complete cliché. :camby: The worst thing was I was surrounded by a bunch of crying teenage girls passing around a box of tissues. :camby::scust:
Yea I was dragged by the gf

But I thought the movie was decent

:patrice:I didn't really enjoy this one. There was a clear effort from the beginning of the movie to stress that this won't be a fluffy happy-ever-after tale. The narrator tells us that most tales we read and see in movies are not real, but that her story is, and that immediately hooked me. For awhile I was completely sold that this was going to be a rare, heartfelt authentic story. It had realistic dialogue, realistic characters, and surprisingly wry humor mixed with sobering slices of grit. I was really enjoying Hazel and her story...until she met Augustus. I don't know if it was the character or the actor (I suspect it was the latter), but talk about forced and awkward acting. He completely took me out of the movie. I didn't believe anything he said. When something that huge is flawed, you start looking for other problems. There was a lot of obvious manipulation. Of course films are manipulative, but here, I could see the strings. Unlike the beginning of the film, some of the later interactions and dialogue seemed forced and unrealistic, but planned to provoke empathy. I won't say it was a bad film. Overall, the acting was stellar (save Elgort). But I never forgot it was a movie, and too much of it felt disingenuous and hollow, perhaps even more so because the narrator promised it wouldn't be.
