Who payed the critics

Very well executed

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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

Partly interesting but too obvious with the growing up lessons.

I read the book before it was a movie. I liked it at the time and I also liked John Green. But now, I think John Green is such an overrated author. I was excited for the movie, the book was exciting with a highly disappointing ending. Well, the movie has the number one spot as the worst movie I've ever seen. It wouldn't have been hard to follow the book, but they even decided to change some things, make it worse and add useless scenes that didn't even need to be there. The worst of all was the scene where they sang the Pokémon theme. It was quite an insult to the TV show which will always be one of my favourites, first season only. It was so, so cringey I had to shut my eyes, look away and apologise to myself for spending even a minute watching this movie. I think the only good thing about this movie is that the casting was pretty good, however, Cara cannot act at all in my opinion so it was hard to watch, or even try to get lost in the story when you're constantly reminded that it's acting and that it's horrible.

In this story Quentin had a crush on his neighbor Margo since childhood. One day when they were little, they saw a dead man lying under a tree. Margo was interested to investigate about the dead man. So she asked Quentin to help her but Quentin refused. So after many years her friends betrayed her so she wanted to revenge them. I think the movie should be more interesting but the movie was funny. It's okay for one time watch.
