I thought it was okay, but I'm not really the target audience, and I'm probably not as sentimental about this subject matter at this point in my own life. But I did like the chemistry between Woodley and Algort as Hazel and Augustus (but they were lucky in having worked on the recent "Divergent" film to have had more trust in one another).
Fans of the book will see it opening weekend, and cry their eyes out, this subject is primed for this reaction, but the film doesn't undercut its message of older teens living with cancer while finding a spark between them that provides a richer experience of being human with an unconventional timeline and obstacles.
I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
