"The Fault In Our Stars" movie came out:
"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 fell in love at a cancer support group." via imdb.com
It was about time for some "me time" anyway, so I took off all alone and watched the movie. You know that disappointment when you read a book, go watching the movie, and they mess up everything you were picturing in your head? Don't worry - if you and I think alike, and that's what great minds do, you won't be disappointed.
I read the book 2 times, so I had great expectations. My thoughts after watching it: It is a wonderful movie and it was exactly the way I wanted it to be. They did a great job picking the cast and putting the "mood" from the book into pictures. The Amsterdam sequences were lovely!

It was about 95% females watching the movie at the movie theater I went to. You could hear us all laugh, cry, and making comments throughout the movie. From what I've heard while walking out after the movie, everybody loved it!
Oh, and by the way: My celebrity crush Sam Trammell, who plays Sam Merlotte in "True Blood", is playing Hazel's dad!!
Gotta put this on my list to see!!! Thanks for the review, I haven't heard of it yet! (I know, Yikes!) Ha

The book was recommended to me...but I still haven't heard when it will be available from the library. :) Glad to hear the movie met your expectations.
ReplyDeleteI will have to put the book on my list and then see the movie. Thanks for the review
ReplyDeleteGlad that you enjoyed the movie. I definitely want to see it as I loved the book! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to watch this but I promised to wait for my friend. I am not sure if I can wait.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it! I have a hard time reading books that I know will be sad :) Have't read it yet!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter read the book and has been bugging me to read it too so that we can go see the movie together. I am a little concerned about the content, though...I've read a couple places that maybe the movie isn't so appropriate? What do you think about a 13-year-old girl seeing it?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this.. I have been holding off until I read the book.
