Review of Paper Towns (2015) by Heather M — 10 Nov 2015
When I knew that Paper Towns has the same writers as the ones from The Fault of our Stars, I was very happy about it because I feel like they are the only people that understand John Green books. So even though it's not as amazing as The Fault of our Stars, Paper Towns is a great movie that I'm starting to be more glad that this is becoming a trend of romantic movies done right so that we'll forget about the Nicholas Sparks films.
Nat Wolff is is absolutely great in it, and he does keep the audience interested for him as a main role. This is the first time I've seen of Cara Delevingne, and she is very good which I'm glad to see that, and would like to see her in future films, especially her role in Suicide Squad.
The plot is really good and different from The Fault of our Stars which I'm very happy that it's not the same like every other Nicholas Sparks adaptation. Their chemistry is fine for what it is, but I wish that there was more of it so I can have more of an understanding of why he wants to be with this girl.
One of Q's best friends can be annoying at times, but not to the point of me groaning every time that character showed up. The writing by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber is very well-written and has some thought-provoking moments.
The movie is not as deep as I thought it was going to that plot, and that's a bit of a problem too. It's really funny, and it has some sweet moments. It may be predictable at times, but there are also some unexpected moments for me, although some people would probably not think so.
So while Paper Towns is a bit of a step down, I was very entertained by this movie and am still looking forward to the other John Green adaptations that they are going to do in the future.
