I will begin this review with the admittance that I have not read the famous novel of which this film is based, written by novelist and YouTuber John Green, but I am familiar with the story and the amount of people that it moved, helped and charmed upon its release in 2012, and since.
The Fault in Our Stars is another beloved modern novel adapted to the screen due to its overwhelming popularity. Directed by Josh Boone, who had previously only been the director on one film, 2012’s Stuck in Love. With a bigger budget, a great cast and a vast amount of eyes and hearts awaiting his adaptation, I can confirm that The Fault in Our Stars...

Chicago – Sure, I’ll admit it. With so many new films to screen and review, I’ll choose the sci-fi action/thriller from the man behind the Bourne flicks over a movie that’s being called “the greatest romance story of this decade”.
But when realizing I only have time this week to write “The Fault in Our Stars” or “Edge of Tomorrow,” the choice – albeit unusual for me because of my love for sci-fi – comes quickly without thinking twice. While comparing them is like apples and orange, the first won’t stand the test of time while the latter with stay with you for years to come.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
My interest in “The Fault in Our Stars” wasn’t typical. It was piqued while interviewing co-stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort at the Chicago red-carpet premiere not for this romantic drama with a $12 million budget but for the blockbuster “Divergent” with an $85 million budget.
