Josh Boone’s heartfelt adaptation of John Green’s best-selling novel The Fault in Our Stars was a surprise box-office hit, but it really shouldn’t have taken the movie executives or the public unawares. A teen love story triumphing over terminal illness with charismatic leading actors, sensitive direction, and generating enough tears to float a battleship has all the marks of a movie that would appeal to several generations of moviegoers, and that it certainly did. It’s beautifully made, and even with some of the forced tropes of the genre, the movie floats by them on clouds of good will and expert showmanship.
