And we got “One Sick Love Story?” Bleh.Īnd let’s just be real here, while Shai and Ansel look adorable, there is a ton of fan art out there for TFiOS and … it looks better (at least better in terms of GETTING it). Where is “Okay? Okay.” “Forever in our little infinity.” “Pain demands to be felt.” “Maybe okay will be our always.” “Love should last at least as long as your life does.” UGH. There are LITERALLY so many great lines from John Green’s book that could have been worked into a tagline. This isn’t a Judd Apatow movie about cancer kids, so why does this tag-line feel like some hack wrote it? Why does it not reflect the poignancy and the humor of the book that we know and love so well?īasically, I’m scratching my head thinking, “That doesn’t sound anything like the tone of this story. And, if you’ve read the book, you know that both Hazel and Gus do much to take the bite out of their cancer, but there’s real tragedy there too. But as a packaging for the film as a whole, it’s flip.

I can even imagine Gus making that joke at some point. “They have cancer, get it? And those crazy kids these days are always using ‘sick’ to mean something’s cool. I imagine some suit at the movie studio nodding his head as it’s explained to him. But S words like “sick” are not a part of that list.Īnd I get it. Their love story is sweet and sharp and special and other S words. Gus is hilarious and awesome and Hazel is smart and quippy. Hazel and Gus fall in love at a teenage cancer survivor’s support group. Let me back up a minute and clue in the three of you who haven’t read TFiOS to what it’s about. But maybe not the ones they intended.Īt first glance, I feel nothing. Exclusive to Buzzfeed, their announcementweet said it “will make you feel feelings.” Well, yes. In case you missed it this morning, the first poster for The Fault in Our Stars movie was released while I was waiting in line for my grande americano.
