A lot of the dialogue was actually from the book, making it a good and fun watch. I think this movie was casted perfectly with the right group of actors. Isabela did such an amazing job bringing our Aza Holmes to life and Cree embodied Daisy flawlessly. Felix was an amazing Davis (I honestly don't know of any actor who can pull off Davis better than him) and he had amazing on-screen chemistry with Isabela. Call me biased but I believe Turtles All the Way down is the best John Greene movie (Don't worry, "The Fall in Our Stars" is a very close second :) ). It was so worth the watch and read and I would truly reccomend this movie to anyone. It was executed perfectly and I could not ask for a better adaptation of my favorite book.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Ben D Charming, funny, and well-acted, Turtles All the Way Down was much more grounded than I had imagined, which was likely to its benefit, even if it was sparse on the action. This is a standard coming-of-age/friendship story with a billionaire-sized hole in it. Aza (Isabela Merced) and Daisy (Cree) are best friends with their own baggage — one has debilitating anxiety, OCD, and germaphobia while the other writes Star Wars fan fiction. They set off on an adventure to find the missing billionaire who also happens to be the father of Aza’s childhood crush, Davis (Felix Mallard). I had been familiar with the basic premise of the story back when John Green published the book, but I had been mistaken. This isn’t a romp around Indiana used as an excuse for two teens to fall in love with each other/for two friends on the cusp of high school’s conclusion to share their platonic love for each other, but merely a plot device to get Aza and Davis in the same room. The story is more or less focused on Aza’s declensions and breakthroughs with her mental illness and Daisy always feeling like she’s an afterthought. They get into typical high school tiffs but with the addition of Davis being the son of a billionaire who can literally whisk Aza away to Chicago so she can visit Northwestern (and sit in on a class taught by her favorite professor (J. Smith-Cameron)). The funniest part of the movie was the Applebee’s gag. The performances are what make it worth watching, just don’t expect a Goonies-like adventure.
