Movie Haiku:Over-hyped, saccharine-sweet story of two teens who fall in love in a cancer support group. Why so much buzz about Woodley? Jan--who has seen her 4 recent films--is mystified. Rich--who has seen 2 but not this one--thinks she is pretty enough but... There is nothing here at all "new" or surprising. & the trip to the Anne Frank House is tasteless verging on offensive.
