Trailer Synopsis Cast

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge, he follows. After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Quentin arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Quentin soon learns that there are clues, and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer Quentin gets, the less he sees of the girl he thought he knew.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This Movie is inappropriate for young children as it had a bit of strong language, talk of sex and doing inappropriate things, kissing and it also has a bit of nudity and Underage drinking. sneaking out at night and doing things that can get you into trouble And it also had a little bit of bullying in, there was also a scene were there was a car accident which was a little intense. And in another scene there was a dead body and a gun that was fired in another scene. I feel like they rushed this Movie. I don t think They had enough time to let things unravel like they did in the book, I mean, of course they couldn't have included every little detail or else the Movie would be way too long. But, i think that they could have done a better job, by taking things slow and gradually moving the story line along instead of pushing through everything. The characters, not seem to have jobs, but they seem to have an endless supply of money. I would of liked to see how they get it because that the only thing that wasn't believable. I didn't like the parents they were clueless, and unhelpful.I like how close it stayed to the book it had little changes. In the book Margo and Quentin go to Sea World but in the Movie it was only mentioned. In a YouTube video which John was in he said 'no one was anxious to pay Sea World for the chance to give them good publicity." We do get some scenes from the book but some charterers were left out of a few scenes.I loved the music that was used and the voice over at the start, I think that younger Quentin and Margo were cute and they acted well. I also like that Ansel Elgort, the actor who played Gus in the fault in our stars was in this Movie but he was only in it for a few seconds.I really liked the scenery and I liked the abandoned building scene that scene was a little intense but then it turned funny. I think it has good acting and casting. I like how it creatures and encourages living in the present and nurturing close friendships. I like Quentin's friends, Radar and Ben, they were are loyal, honest, and kind, and they helped him even when they thought that his plan was a little crazy. I liked the road-trip and shopping scene I found it relatable and really funny. The scene with Ben and Radar in the car was funny. I really liked Ben and Radar they were really funny and I would of like to be there friends. But I would of liked it more if Ben and Radar had a bit more screen-time. I think that Radar was a cutie and he looked cute with his glasses. And I liked it when Radar did the voice impressions. I shipped Radar and Angela and also Quentin and MargoI think Some may dislike how the Movie ends, but that is the point of the story. The story tells us that not imagining someone complexly can sometimes be destructive.

There are some films designed for multiple generations. Which adult hasn't enjoyed 'Toy Story' equally as much as their child (only on different levels!)? However, 'Paper Towns' seems to be one of those 'young adult' tales that can only really be believed if you haven't really lived that long in life (yes, I'm an old cynic). It's the typical 'boy meets girl' story where the two of them grow up together - as friends, obviously - only for her to start partying hard during her late teens, while he studies hard for later life. Naturally, once their circles have moved in different directions, he assumes they'll never get together - until she appears at his bedroom window one night, asking to borrow his car. Now, the boy and girl in question - Quentin and Margo - are both likable enough (and played respectively by Nat Wolff and Cara Delevingne - who, despite what some people say, is actually quite a good young actress who can put on a decent enough American accent), as are their group of friends. So the cast are a fun bunch of people who you will feel drawn to (even if they do offer little new in terms of 'stereotypical American teens'). The problems I can with 'Paper Towns' simply came in the form of its pacing and general believability. The first third of the movie is Nat and Cara, cheering fully tearing up the town in a wild night of throwing caution to the wind and general mayhem. This is fair enough if this is how the whole film was. However, and hopefully I'm not including a spoiler here, Cara then disappears in one of her character's trademark 'mysteries' leaving the rest of the cast wondering where she's gone and how they can find her. And so, for fans of Cara, they may feel a little short-changed by her sudden lack of screen time, as the rest of the movie is taken up with the rest of the cast's road-trip as they try to solve the mystery of where she went to and why.I think I've probably said enough about the plot, so I won't spoil what happens, only to say that - despite the lack of the 'other half' on the love interest part of the story - there are a few things even a hardened cynic such as myself didn't see coming. It seems that whether people love or hate this film depends on how they feel about its ending. Personally, I really enjoyed how they wrapped it up - my only beef was about how the rest of the story was pretty unbelievable. However, what do I know? I'm clearly not this film's demographic - my thirteen year old daughter absolutely loved it, so fair play to the millennials if they appreciate it more than me!

After 'Fault in our Stars' did well as a film you can't blame Hollywood I guess for wanting to raid John Green's back catalogue for another book to turn into a film.Problem is the creative team are working on much less solid ground with this material than before.Paper thin plot, paper thin characters, and not great acting to boot make this film fairly forgettable from start to finish.But it's bright, it's got teen stars in, and lots of people will see it because they liked the book.However most will come out saying it isn't any good.

What do you get if you combine "Fanboys" with "Kieth".You get this piece of crap. The man who wrote the book this movie is based upon, have taken key story lines from other stories, that for some reason made it to the silver screen. All characters comes off as over-hyped cliche's. They authors idea of how teenagers behave is ludicrous and frankly just made me laugh. Then cringe. Besides the plot holes and random behavior, the casting decided to cast a lead woman that can't act. Not to mention how unlikable they all are as characters. This film could not end soon enough, and the clues should have just led them away from the screen and into oblivion so i never have to see them again.
