After the sweet, heartbreaking adaptation of the bestselling novel The Fault in Our Stars by author John Green, here we have another film based on another of his books. Paper Towns is about two particular teenagers, Quentin (Nat Wolff) and Margo (Cara Delevingne), and the story starts as they first met moving fast to nowadays when they’re finishing highschool. Their relationship isn’t the best one, but after she takes him on an all-night adventure through their hometown, things look different until she suddenly disappears.
As it appears to be a love story, it becomes more than that. Quentin and his best friends find cryptic clues that will lead them to Margo, but the point here is how unite and awesome those kids are together and how the adventure to find Margo is something remarkable to them – the meaning of true friendship.
It’s moving at times and funny as well, but it’s a simple and organic story. Paper Towns is really much more than a love story, it’s aimed at teenagers that are lost, but are kind of finding themselves through life experiences.
