Fall in Love with "The Fault in Our Stars" on Digital HD now! #TFIOS @FoxHomeEnt @FHEInsiders

The Fault in Our Stars is now available on  digital HD and I am a little excited to say the least!   I am a total book nerd, so I was anxiously awaiting the release of this movie.  Just like a good book that one reads over and over, this is a movie that your will watch over and over again!

 A little about the movie:
Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Elgort) share a sarcastic wit, a disdain for the ordinary, and a love that sweeps them on an unforgettable journey. Although the teens face challenges, they learn that while life isn’t perfect, love is extraordinary. Laura Dern and Sam Trammell also star in this powerful film based on John Green’s New York Times bestseller.

For those of you who have not read the book, the storyline focuses on two teenagers Augustus and Hazel who meet at a cancer support group.  From at first glance you can feel the chemistry, they are drawn together but not just because they have cancer, but by love and all they want to experience together.   The emotional journey they embark on, has you hooked.  You will cry, laugh and wish for an alternate ending, but all of us book nerds know how it ends.

 As with all books turned into movies, you will notice some subtle differences in The Fault in Our Stars, the movie omits Hazel's best friend (Kaitlyn), so Hazel appears to be a loner, but it works.  Another character omitted was Gus' former girlfriend Caroline who died of cancer.  There were a few other smaller differences throughout the movie, but the biggest difference for me was at the end, when Hazel searches everywhere for that "letter" Gus wrote for her, that is portrayed differently in the movie, it is not as frantic, emotional, gut wrenching as the book.

The acting was superb, Woodley and Elgort portrayed the characters exactly as I imagined.  Laura Dern nailed Hazel's mom!   I was also shocked that William Defoe was cast as  Van Houten, I was expecting an older cantankerous character.    I truly loved this film, even once I was done watching it, I wanted more.  I will be watching this film over and over again.

Looking for some girl time this weekend, I would suggest experiencing The Fault in Our Stars!   A great book turned into a movie is always a safe bet and good time.  A great way to stay connected with the characters we fell in love with on paper, now to only fall in love again on the big screen!
