Before watching this film I read the book upon recommendation from friends. I hated the book. It was unrealistic (I can't relate to any of the characters), depressing (in that they had cancer) and boring. With a 12 hour flight across the pacific I decide to give the story another chance and watch the film. Exactly the same thoughts.

However, alongside the dull story line you are also faced with the terrible acting, out of touch music and redeeming cinematography. If not for the cinematography this film would be getting a 1/10 rather than a 2.

Overall, an easy way to pass a 12 hour flight. Don't waste your time on watching this film unless you are a stupid 16 year old girl.
