The first movie that made me feel like a teenager, the story isn't the best nor the characters but it's the adventure, the mystery of the unknown, and the bittersweet finale. It's what young love is all about.

Um filme de comédia romântica-drama adolescente delicioso, que nos remete a adolescência, com nossos questionamentos, dúvidas e temores, a química dos personagens nos leva a imersão, no clima que vislumbra o mistério, comédia salpicada, flerta com o romance. Trilha sonora deliciosa, melancólico e quase sombria.
"Talvez nem todos ganhem loteira, mas isso não significa que não pode ter aventuras incríveis e conhecer pessoas extraordinárias, e criar memorias indeléveis, o segredo é perceber isso"

Introverted high school senior Quentin, who has been in love with his cute neighbor, Margo, for years, is unexpectedly taken on a night of wild adventure with his lifelong crush, who then mysteriously disappears the next day. Q follows clues left behind by Margo with his friends as to Margo's possible whereabouts, leading to a road trip and new friendships and relationships. It's a likable teen comedy/drama about young folks discovering themselves, where it's about the journey and not the destination. However, PAPER TOWNS is not as funny or as touching as it thinks it is. Cara Delevingne steals the film as the unpredictable wild child Margo. Although she does not have as much screen time as the other characters, she lives up to her character's larger-than-life persona, and you cannot deny Delevingne's star power. Looking at her filmography, I'm kind of disappointed she hasn't gone on to do anything that is all that notable. She's been in some big films, like the first SUICIDE SQUAD (the bad one and not the good one) and Luc Besson's disappointing VALERIAN, but nothing else of note. With the right project, she should be a star. Halston Sage also makes an impression as Margo's best friend who tags along on the road trip, but the other kids on the road trip never rise above teen movie stereotypes. Although PAPER TOWNS has its moments, it's a far cry compared to the far superior coming-of-age films, such as PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER or SING STREET, which you should immediately watch if you haven't seen either.

Una ciudad falsa, para una chica falsa. Ella sabia lo que quería, o al menos lo que no, no iba a cambiar por enamorarse, y ese fue el primer error de Quentín. Hay que aprender a interpretar los pequeños detalles, mas allá de la ceguera de la ilusión.

Brings me back to my childhood - mainly due to the story telling and the true adventure this film captures. For any nostalgic junkies out there, this is a must see movie. *Adventure meets true romance - with a beautiful ending. Could not give this a higher rating!

Quentin "Q" Jacobsen (Nat Wolff) lives across the street from Margo Roth Spiegelman in Jefferson Park, a subdivision of Orlando, Florida. She is a childhood friend from whom he has drifted over nine years after they discovered the corpse of a local lawyer, Robert Joyner, who killed himself after his divorce. Unbeknownst to Margo, Quentin has been infatuated with her since they became neighbors. After reaching adolescence, Margo (Cara Delevingne) becomes one of the popular girls, with an adventurous reputation, at Jefferson Park High School.[a] In contrast, Quentin is kind, unassertive, and unpopular. His friends are fellow outcasts Benjamin "Ben" Starling and Marcus "Radar" Lincoln. One night, Margo climbs through Quentin's window and recruits him for an all-night, revenge adventure. She has discovered that her boyfriend, Jason "Jase" Worthington, is having sex with one of her friends, Rebecca "Becca" Arrington. After buying supplies, Margo and Quentin pull humiliating pranks on Jason, Rebecca, and their friends, including Margo's best friend, Lacey Pemberton. Margo believes Lacey knew about but did not tell her about the infidelity. However, it is later revealed that Lacey was unaware until she was pranked. The event gives Quentin hope that he finally has a chance to develop a closer relationship with Margo. He begins to learn how to assert himself and to take chances.
The next day Margo does not come to school and, after a few days, some consider her missing, while others conclude she left for an undisclosed location...
"Paper Towns" received mixed reviews from film critics. Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus reads, "Paper Towns isn't as deep or moving as it wants to be, yet it's still earnest, well-acted, and thoughtful enough to earn a place in the hearts of teen filmgoers of all ages."
"Paper Towns" is a bit wishy washy to my mind, trying to blend a coming of age setup with some sort of "mystery" structure with high school as a backdrop. The film doesn't really know what it wants to be. There's no real highs and no real lows in it. It's more of a flatlining movie that plays infront of you. Nat Wolff is somewhat colourless, while Cara Delevingne does have something and her piercing eyes are just lovely. But, I reckon the script (based on the book with the same name) doesn't reach a satisfying result if you ask me, despite ok performances and an ok production.
