A Fault in Our Stars {Movie Review}

The romantic sappy side of me is always a sucker for a good love story. It takes me out of the reality that in my non-romantic life and puts me in a fictional story filled with flowers, romance, and a first kiss...you all probably didn't know I once wanted to write a book on "Different ways to propose" thinking of romantic scenarios...yeah that never happened. But this post is not about be used to wanting to write a book, or on my lack of a love life...(I am okay somewhat with the lack of having a guy like me...I think}. Now that is said and done, I recently just saw the new movie "A Fault in Our Stars." I have heard about this movie all summer long, heard about the book and all the raves and hype about it, and I wanted to see the hype about this popular movie about two star-crossed lovers with cancer, fighting cancer, and meeting each other in support group, and falling in love. Saying that just makes my heart go pitter-patter. But sadly the movie wasn't what I expected....some parts of it was good...others I was like "What?!" Not I am not writing this to start a debate...this is a matter of opinion. 

I first started listening to the book on audible, because I wanted to "read" the book before seeing the movie. The book has so many curse words in it, I am embarrass to say I just kept on listening...oh and I never finished it. Take the curse words out and then it would have been better. The same with the movie, like anything take out the bad language and the movie would have been better. There was a surprising scene that was filled with bad words that I wished I had a censor on my DVD player to bleep them out. At the beginning of the movie they talked about the "literal heart of Jesus." I kinda took offence over this because Jesus in in my heart...and saying the "literal heart of Jesus" didn't sound right for me...kinda felt sacrilegious. Now, I know this whole scene of these kids going to a counseling/support group may have seemed helpful, but with the support group being in a church setting it certainly wasn't Biblical. 

Last, near the end of the movie it shows this couple sleeping together--it was very much implied. 

Now I won't tell you the end of the movie...or the book for that matter...but it is sad...very very sad

I can't really say if I liked this movie or not...I liked the story line...but I didn't like the language of the movie. I didn't like the reference "literal heart of Jesus" This is definitely a movie for older teens/adults. I will most likely not watch it again...for me its one of those okay I've seen it once and I don't want to see it again.
