It’s surprising that such a tedious film can be so infuriating. If John Green wants to write appalling literature then fine, but keep it off the cinema screen. To say this film is bad understates just how foul and self indulgent it is. Quite simply, it’s one of the most sickeningly badly written films I’ve ever seen. Not only are the characters dull and irritating, but the screenplay is nauseatingly poor, lacking both drama and comedy. It’s like a hipster comedy and a self-help guide fucked and gave birth to mutated piece of paper with this film printed on it.
Crappy Tween literature is taking over the cinema… Twilight, this, Paper Towns, Divergent, Maze Runner etc.
Also when can people stop phoning it in and using terminal illness or disability to make us care about a child. At least try and write a good character and story!
At least Harry Potter and Hunger Games had the decency to make good films!
I completely agree with you, it’s like terminal illness is somehow being used as a get out of jail free card in order to make the audience care.
