That’s a tricky combination, and the one that drives “Paper Towns.” His Quentin is smart enough to know what he’s doing doesn’t make sense and in love enough not to care. Sage, in particular, makes Lacey more than the typical stuck-up beauty queen.īut Wolff is best of all. Schreier proves adept at avoiding clichés, and is helped by his actors. We’ve seen the elements that make up “Paper Towns” before, but that’s OK. The other characters mesh together in winning fashion as they all come to terms, in their own ways, with the realization that one part of their lives is ending as another one is about to begin. Luckily, since Margo is missing for much of the film, she is … well, missing for much of the film. Ben, lusting after any girl who moves but finding an unlikely possible romantic interest in the super-popular Lacey, tells her that Margo doesn’t deserve a friend like her. In Margo, it’s so pronounced some of the characters even remark on it. They at least give the impression of having it all figured out (though that’s not always the case). These are supposed to be precocious characters, wiser than their peers. There’s a smugness about her that was also present in Gus, the cancer patient played by Ansel Elgort who falls in love with Shailene Woodley’s Hazel in “The Fault in Our Stars.” Delevingne plays her as cooler-than-thou, confident to a fault.

So we’ve got a coming-of-age film with road-trip trappings, with some teen romance and a mystery thrown in for good measure. Margo (Cara Delevingne) tells Quentin (Nat Wolff) that this will be the best night of his life, and as they tear through some minor vandalism and pranks to get back at the boyfriend who has cheated on her, it becomes apparent that she’s right. Weber, it does share some qualities with that film, good and bad. But in addition to the screenwriting team of Scott Neustadter and Michael H. It’s not the teenage-tear-making machine “The Fault in Our Stars,” the last film based on a Green novel, was. Thus begins “Paper Towns,” director Jake Schreier’s take on John Green’s young-adult novel.
#ANSEL ELGORT PAPER TOWNS DRIVER#
Until one night Margo appears at Quentin’s window, just like the old days, needing a driver to help her get some revenge. By the time they are seniors, they barely talk anymore. Together, they romped around the neighborhood on adventures, but as they grew older, she got wild, beautiful and popular while he focused on his studies. Quentin fell for Margo the day she moved in across the street when they were kids.
