Review
This movie was amazing. It stuck to the book alot, but it did miss some parts from the book. It did make me tear up. I love that there were many quotes from the book that were in the movie. My favourite scene was when Hazel and Augustus were outside of the Support Group and Augustus takes out his cigarette. They acted that scene out perfect and the metaphor is still stuck in my head. The actors and actresses did an amazing job acting the characters. Shailene was an amazing Hazel, I wouldn't imagine anyone else playing Hazel.
Rating
I'm going to give it a 4.5 out of 5 because of the way it stuck to the book and didnt change that much and the actors and actresses as I already said were amazing.
