Paper Towns Reviewed By Brianna B., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, Age 15
John Green’s adaptation of Paper Towns is a really good film that I'm sure that teenage girls will definitely love to watch. This well-anticipated film is interesting, fun, and different. The comedy is great and will absolutely keep you laughing.
Quentin (Nat Wolff) and Margo (Cara Delevingne) spend an exhilarating and heart-racing night together as they go on an adventure through their hometown. Afterwards Margo unexpectedly vanishes. As Quentin and his friends go on a quest to find Margo, the mystery of her life begins to unravel and Quentin discovers a little bit more about himself.
Paper Towns is a mystery, drama, and romance all wrapped up in one. It offers a view of high schoolers that is pretty true to life. I'm sure it will remind some adults of their younger days and the adventures they took. This is Cara Delevingne's first leading film role and I appreciated her acting and the chemistry she seemed to have with the rest of the cast. As a Floridian, I feel great pride and joy that this film is set in the state where I live. I enjoyed seeing some familiar places.
My favorite character in this film is Ben (Austin Abrams) because he’s very funny. His actions, words, and expressions all have great humor. Even though I don't have a specific favorite scene, a couple of the scenes that I really enjoyed watching were the ones during the long road trip from Florida to New York. The conversations and situations that took place during this drive and, especially while in the rest area, were very funny and it definitely made me laugh. The score fills itself with many familiar songs and I enjoyed the music throughout the film.
I had some confusion throughout the film and questioned many of the characters' decisions and their reactions to some situations they were dealing with. I recommend this film for ages 13 and older due to some language and mature content that are inappropriate for younger ages. I give Paper Town 3½ out of 5 stars, because of the confusion in the film.
