In the era of the auteur director, it's sometimes refreshing to find a filmmaker who recognizes the value of self-effacement. Josh Boone's direction is unremarkable but he understands how to get out of the way and let the actors do their thing. The acting is top-notch, the characters are three-dimensional, and the dialogue is sharp and witty. Adapted from John Green's best-selling YA novel of the same name, The Fault in Our Stars merits notice not because of its formulaic storyline but because of the heartfelt manner in which it is presented.
Calling The Fault in Our Stars a "teenage cancer romance" might be understating the film's laudable qualities but it's also a reasonably accurate three-word summary of the plot.
