“Okay.”

From The Fault in Our Stars.

Hazel (Shailene Woodley) is like so many normal, moody, and spunky teen girls with one rather large difference… Hazel has terminal cancer that has decided to attack her lungs. Instead of spending her time living in hope of a cure, which she knows would only be false hope, Hazel is living her life waiting to meet her inescapable and looming death. Since she is too sick to go to school, and all her healthy friends have distanced themselves from her, Hazel is often left to read and solemnly await her death, especially an obscure book by her favorite author, Peter van Houten (Willem Dafoe).  Hazel’s parents (Laura Dern and Sam Trammell) see this as an unhealthy mental health problem, so they cart Hazel and her little oxygen cart off to a cancer support group for teens. Through Isaac (Nat Wolff), a friend at the support group, Hazel meets a boy named Augustus (Ansel Elgort), a cancer survivor with an interesting and captivating outlook on life.  The two soon find that they share many common interests, and Hazel begrudgingly enters into a dating relationship even though she feels that her impending death will cause more damage than the relationship can handle.  Things go fairly well for Hazel and Gus until he reveals that his cancer has come back again, forcing Hazel to go from being the sick one in the relationship to the girl in the “sick” relationship.  As the young lovers struggle with life, happiness, death, and disappointments, their story quickly becomes a love story for the ages.

Based on the bestselling John Green novel, this movie doesn’t waste any time introducing the characters to the conflict of the story.  Both main characters are forced to grow up in the face of terrible circumstances, and Woodley and Elgort bring real heart to characters deciding if they’ll grow closer or farther apart.  Fans of the book will be pleased with the similarities to the original source material, while new viewers will find The Fault in Our Stars to be a memorable, emotional story.
