Paper Towns Trailers

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.

First time I saw Paper Towns, I loved it; bought the blu-ray, and everything was good with the world. But soon enough I got rid of it. I've recently rebought it, but it's still not perfect.The story focuses on Q, whose been madly in love with his childhood friend Margo, who over the years, has grown further and further away from him, and has gone on a number of wild adventures of her own. After one night of pranking her former friends, Margo seems to have disappeared for good, and Q is on a journey with his friends radar and Ben to find her.To put it simply, Nat Wolff and Cara Delevigne are the best part of this film. Their interactions just feel so real to me. I'd put the last scene of them together on par with something like the ending of 'Her', it's so simply but so effective. Also, like 'Her', it has a bittersweet-ish ending, which I enjoy. I also really like some of the main music in this movie. "Forget the Miracle ever happened" is a great theme and I love how throughout the film there's different styles of it to fit the mood.The film is competently made, with a lot of decent pacing. The acting is also good. The problem with the story is sadly a large chunk of the middle act; it feels so slow. The middle is of course Q and his friends travelling across the country to find Margo, but there's not enough interesting stuff happening to keep me that engaged. Also I just don't think the main three actors have that great of a chemistry together. Something feels out of place, and it's either of those. There's humour littered throughout and I enjoy the character Ben getting 'the girl of his dreams', and I think the relationship between Radar and his girlfriend Angela is cute. I just think the movie picks up WAY more when Q and Margo reunite at the end, and it's really a shame cause the other characters could have been developed a bit more. Also, some of the music they chose for this film is annoying, and it made the film come across like some wannabe art-house project.Overall, it's a good movie, and even though there are STILL parts I skip past because of the awkwardness and straight up cringe of them, mainly, the Ben character, there are a lot of scenes that still make it a fun watch. I'm giving it a 7 out of 10

You've seen this movie before. It's been called "I Love You, Beth Cooper" among many other names. It's where the high school loser pines for the most popular girl in school and, through a turn of events and adventure, either wins her heart or otherwise gains her attention and respect. This is pretty much the same.In this case, the high school loser lives across the street from his crush. They don't interact very much; they have different friends. But the girl asks his help in dissing some of her friends through adolescent pranks and vandalism. Then the next day the girl disappears. The high school loser recruits his friends to try to find her.This movie really tanks because the plot isn't believable and because of the cast. The girl playing the crush, Cara Delevigne, isn't very breathtaking or interesting. And the characters, none of whom seem to have jobs, seem to have an endless supply of money. The girl who disappeared just went to another town and spends her days reading books. The methods through which food and lodging are procured is not explained.The one high point is Halston Sage. She's the only reason I watched the movie in the first place. Her character was a popular girl, almost a mean girl, but she joins in the search for the missing princess and befriends one of the high school loser's friends. At the end they went to the prom together. The breathtakingly beautiful popular girl hanging out with a loser/outcast reminded me of a good friend so it was a sentimental moment for me.
