βGod that ending was an emotional gut punch. The saddest I've felt in years, and I think it has to do with how I could relate to the characters, and feel for them.β

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

βAs slick and contrived as the plotting may be from time to time, the writers and director Jake Schreier (βRobot & Frankβ) throw in enough charming character moments and literal forward motion (this is a road movie, after all) to avoid getting bogged down in whiny teen solipsism. You might not believe that any of these kids exist, but youβll enjoy hanging out with them.β

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

βQ's adventure is a passionate and creative retelling of a time-honored tale, and one that will appeal to audiences both old and new to the genre. Hughes would approve.β

βA satisfying look at young unrequited love, bromances, independence and letting go.β

βA No Heavy Tearjerker, But Still Searingly Relatable and Sentimental ! Coming on the heels of its commercially-successful predecessor, 'The Fault in Our Stars', PAPER TOWNS is no heavy tearjerker, but it echoes more affectionate and piercing sentiments, with its lighter, minimalist take of its recognizable subjects. The film follows Quentin (Nat Wolff) , or "Q" as he is more popularly called, a highschool boy who has been nursing an unrequited love for the girl living next door, Margo (Cara Deβ

βTeen romance is done rarely well, most of the time, they feel cliched, uninteresting, and at times, really pretentious. 'Paper Towns', unfortunately, falls for every one of these cliches, and it doesn't use them ironically. Based on the novel written by John Green (who also wrote 'The Fault in Our Stars'), the movie focuses on a young boy named Quentin Jacobsen (Natt Wolff, who was also in 'The Fault in Our Stars') going through his last year of high school, and has found himself infatuated wβ

β"Paper Towns" is an unique romantic comedy, that isn't weepy like Green's other film "The Fault in Our Stars" but it's satisfying to the fans and gives them a look at unrequited love and bromance. After watching John Green's first adaptation "The Fault in Our Stars" I was surprised that it goes around the cliche's, overall the film moves you and takes you on a powerful journey while it does give you great humor and some astonishing star-making performances and Paper Towns gives us that. The filβ
β> You can't hold back forever your crush on someone. I don't know why it is underrated, probably that's a mistake. Because this is not your usual teen movie, but a different perspective tale and told in a quite exciting way. It was from the director of 'Robot & Frank', it is only his second film and he's now in my watch-out filmmakers list. Both the films were different genre and topic, and I totally loved them. This film was adapted from the book of the same name who wrote 'The Fault in Our β
