The movie was good. I thought it was almost better than the book, in the aspect that the beginning wasn't as depressing as it is in the book. Some things in the movie were different, which is to be expected. Like how Augustus picks them up for Amsterdam instead of the opposite. Only, did they really need to have him in a limo? The other thing was when Augustus asks Hazel if she has $5. In the book, he asks if she has $4. Seriously? It's just a little thing, I know, but that makes it so much easier to get it right!
As a movie by itself, I would totally have seen that even if I hadn't read the book. It was a good movie. I thought that the beginning was fun, a bit upbeat, and would be an awesome movie to see with one's boy/girlfriend if it had a happy ending. Sadly, it doesn't. (Sadly, it ends sadly. Oh aren't I funny?) Because of this, it is a great movie to go see and then cry about with your friends. 4.5/5 (that's a better review than some guy on the radio gave. He said 4/5, and gave The Edge a 5/5)
One note, the movie does include Chapter 13, but there is a reason it is rated PG-13 and not R. It doesn't show anything, just like in the book. I would say this:
Rated PG-13 for mild language and 'implying' content.
Not rated R for mild language and explicit content.

It is being put on hold. I don't have to do anything! Which is nice, but now I don't have an excuse to talk to Andre. :(
