But John Green did himself no favors writing a book called Paper Towns that has been made into a movie, because the plot and characters are paper thin. This is very much a “teen” movie, as with The Fault in Our Stars. Then he goes on a road trip with his friends to find her. Then she disappears and Quentin (Nat Wolff) has to find her by following the MOST DIFFICULT TO FIND CLUES IN THE WORLD! Seriously, Columbo would have had trouble with these clues. She goes on a revenge night destroying things of her friends and boyfriend who cheated on her. The story of Paper Towns is about Margo, the “dream girl” of Quentin, who is also her neighbor. But the characters (especially Cara Delevingne’s Margo) are so apathetic when they give these speeches in this film, making the lines feel even less natural than they otherwise would. It usually sounds like something I would have heard from college students who like talking philosophy.

Most of the dialogue in this movie does not sound “age appropriate” and feeds John Green’s tendency to write aspirational stories. And third, that does not sound like something a high schooler would ever say.Īnd I was right. Second I thought, that was a terrible rip off from my favorite movie (I might be projecting…I don’t know many people who remember The Paper Chase). I’ve lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.” First, I thought, that is some clunky dialogue and the delivery was really bad.
All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. The trailer kind of made me cringe when I heard a high school character say lines like “All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store.
The reason I mention that line is because I should say, I was very conflicted going into Paper Towns.
