REVIEW:

Last year, director Josh Boone helped author John Green bring his beloved teen novel "The Fault in Our Stars" to the big screen.  Teens, audiences, and critics alike all fell for the cancer-centered drama starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.  With Fox believing they have struck a gold mine, they decided to adapt another one of Green's novels as a film.  That novel comes in the form of "Paper Towns," a story of a boy traveling cross-country to find the girl he's in love with and profess his feelings to her.  Considering my love for "The Fault in Our Stars," I can say that I was pretty excited to see what John Green had in store for us next.  While the result wasn't as strong as "Fault," there are still a lot of things to like about this movie.  Nat Wolff is a solid lead, the film itself is relatable, and the story always had my attention despite some unexplained plot points and some annoying supporting characters.  At the end of the day, "Paper Towns" is a step down from Green's previous work, but it's still a good movie overall.

Hello viewers of this blog,

Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
