Paper Towns

The nice thing about Paper Towns is it’s as much about the friendship between Quentin, Radar and Ben as it is about Quentin’s love for Margo, and his quest to find her after she disappears yet again.

There may be nothing fresh left to find in teens coming of age, but director Jake Schreier (Robot and Frank) fakes it with genuine sincerity.

Fans expecting more than a routine coming-of-age story had better prepare for a paper movie.

This likeable, emotionally precise film has a big heart and a genre-shifting construction that keeps the proceedings from feeling like just another young-adult meander. But despite an agreeably earnest performance from rising star Nat Wolff, Paper Towns covers familiar coming-of-age terrain and suffers from an opaque turn by newcomer Cara Delevingne that’s not quite as captivating as the story requires.

The contrived storyline offers little opportunity for characters to grow and the meandering narrative trajectory and anticlimactic ending will have some viewers wondering why they bothered.

Will miracles never cease? Alas, they do. Pausing pregnantly between clauses to add to their trite profundity, Quentin recites the moral of the story, and it’s as phony as the towns of the title.

Manufactured and manicured to appeal to the teenage fans of Green's book, Paper Towns is so polished and edgeless, that even Margo herself would look at the finished product, and question its authenticity.

Paper Towns is a phenomenon before it's premiere. John Green's material is amazing and the beautiful and heart-breaking final scene shows us that things can be real, but sometimes, only in our minds

It is a typical teenage movie that failed to show what actual teenagers are really like .some of the charecters are also very irritating like ben . But nonetheless movie is quite charming natt Wolff and cara Delevingne did an amazing job as the lead their chemistry really work together but the ending of the movie is quite stupid . I thought that it could have gone any way other than where it went but it was quite enjoyable at times and the runtime of the movie is also quite perfect

Paper Towns is a decent movie to watch. Everything about it is fine the acting is fine the writing is fine. But the ending is amazing one of my favorite endings to this type of movie did not see that coming.

It's not a terrible movie, but if you've read the book before, it's gonna be extremely disappointing. See, the characters are pictured quite accurately in the book, especially Margo's, but it seems like the creators were trying to make a lame, high school movie that could be favored by most of the teenagers. So they changed everything they could, even the ending (to some extent)! And it gets even worse when the focus is not on Margo being lost and the relationship between Margo and Q, but on Q's friends instead. Overall, the story is too much altered in comparison with the book; it's changed from a mystery romance with a tiny but beautiful touch of life philosophy into this like-every-other-teenage-movie thing. The only thing I really enjoyed was the soundtrack which I downloaded and listened to while I was reading the book, before watching the movie. If you haven't read the book, you might end up being fine with Paper Towns, but if you've read the book, god, do not go with the movie, just stick to the images inside your brain!

Un film d'ados bourré de poésie à deux balles et de de bons sentiments naïfs dans une banlieue chicos d'Orlando en Floride. Les ados aisés vont à leur bahut, conduits par leur maman, font des projets pour l'avenir (toi, tu seras médecin, mon fils) et celui-ci repense à sa copine d'enfance de la maison d'en face lorsqu'une nuit l'énigmatique copine, Margo, vient toquer à sa fenêtre pour aller faire les 400 coups et se venger d'indélicats camarades... Puis Margo disparaît et une enquête commence pour le blaireau et ses amis comme pour une chasse impromptue au trésor, car la fille a laissé des indices comme le petit poucet. Le film a le mérite d'aiguiser la curiosité et d'intriguer un certain temps tandis que les branques remontent la piste mais cale hélas rapidement par la suite, faute d'idées et surtout... de scénario ! La fin est décevante, aussi décevante et banale que leur vie de **** bourgeois bien propres sur eux qui ne pensent qu'à tirer leur première crampe au "bal de fin d'année", la spécialité américano-américaine qui nous fait toujours bien rigoler... ou lever les yeux au ciel plutôt. Entretemps, le principal intérêt du film, à savoir cette étonnante actrice aux gros sourcils et au nom imprononçable que l'on avait vue dans le gros nanar intersidéral de Luc Besson, Cara donc, a disparu. Nous voilà bien déçu, car elle a un visage intéressant cette petite. Peut-être que je m'étais imaginé quelque chose à la Donnie Darko mais ça n'a rien à voir en fait : on a juste ici un film pour ados très bateau et nunuche qui se traîne comme le vieux monospace familial.
