FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1
Woodley did a great job; she cries well. Elgort is also pretty good. Even
though they were siblings in Divergent, their relationship looks authentic in
this film. They looked cute together.
2
I
appreciated how the parents were portrayed. It’s refreshing to see a loving parental
couple who are supportive of their child without being oblivious. Great acting
by both Dern and Sam Trammell (True Blood).
3
I enjoyed the scenes in Amsterdam, having been there a couple of years
ago. It brought back great memories.
4
I liked the cute way they displayed the texts back and forth.
5
Hazel has an issue with stairs. Why is her room up a staircase? Wouldn’t it be
better if her bedroom was on the ground floor? Just sayin’
RECOMMENDATION: Great date movie. She will cry though.
