Parents guide

There is one intimate sex scene between Hazel and Gus. They kiss and she removes his shirt. She then takes off her shirt and bra and is seen topless from the back. Her breasts are shown for a split-second and Gus is shown caressing her breasts.

A blind teen boy describes the size of a girl's breasts.

There is a scene where Hazel's mother appears wrapped in a towel after the shower.

In the beginning there is a teen boy and a teen girl (Monica) kissing passionately beside the car fully clothed. Occasionally the boy reaches the girl's clothed breast and squeeze the breast on top of her tank top. Afterwards Hazel makes a comedic remark about the boy reaching for the girl's breast.

Augustus talks about how he is in a circle of virgins. He was probably hinting to Hazel he wants to have sex.

Gus and Hazel kiss in a few scenes.

There is 1 intimate scene on a bed where we see the boy's bare chest and the girl's back as she takes off her bra. Sex is very clearly implied, but not explicitly shown.

A group of teens egg a car as an act of revenge.

An 18-year old ex-basketball player is in remission from his osteosarcoma, but had lost one leg from the knee, down; we see the artificial limb several times and once the boy shows it to a man and says, "I didn't have this (leg) removed for the hell of it."

Video clips of WWII German wagons filled with dead bodies under tarps play in a display (we see some feet) in the Anne Frank House museum.

Gus and Hazel go to Gus's house where they meet his parents and descend some stairs that make her breathe heavily and on the wall is a sign with silhouettes of a cow and a car hitting head-on.

Issac throws a fit and is seen violently breaking trophies. This is more comical because it's in the background of Hazel and Gus having a normal conversation despite the rage in the background.

The F-bomb is, in separate scenes, uttered once and seen once.

Some Swedish profanity in a rap song.

Hazel calls VanHouten "douche pants."

A brief use of "balls" when Hazel refers to a man with testicular cancer.

A few uses of words like "hell" and "shit"

Hazel wears a T-shirt with a pipe on it. However, it is a reference to a painting.

Augustus buys cigarettes, and "doesn't smoke" them. He says it's a metaphor and that "you put the thing that does the killing right between your teeth, and never give it the power to kill you." (So he "smokes" unlit cigarettes) He has one in his mouth on a plane and he is told to put it away.

Hazel and Gus drink champagne.

Hazel is seen taking multiple drugs for medical use.

Van Houten is an alcoholic and he gets drunk many times.

There's an anticipation of death throughout the movie that can be very upsetting to those with health anxiety.

Van Houten reveals that the death of his young daughter inspired him to write his book. She had cancer.

Van Houten is really rude to Augustus and Hazel.

The overall theme of the film is a little heavy: disability, cancer, death, etc.

The scenes where Hazel and Gus are in pain from cancer can be intense.
