A film that is well aware of its own clichés, aware of its sappiness, and aware of its sadness, yet still manages to take an upbeat approach. The comedy is honest and the drama is well acted leaving a fairly balanced feel, even if it is a little heavy-handed at times. I liked the inclusion of a little history with Amsterdam and the Anne Frank Museum, something I imagine John Green had in the novel to educate us while still being entertaining.
3.5 Stars (out of 5)
