After the phenomenal success of The Fault in Our Stars, author John Green returns with another heart-warming tale in PAPER TOWNS, available on Blu-ray™ and DVD October 20th, 2015. Join rising stars Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff in the breakout performances of their careers as they go on an epic journey of love and adventure.
Adapted from the bestselling novel by John Green, PAPER TOWNS is a coming-of-age story centering on Quentin, a high school senior who has been in love with his enigmatic neighbor Margo since childhood. After taking him on an all-night adventure through their hometown, Margo suddenly disappears–leaving behind cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher. The search leads Quentin and his quick-witted friends on an exhilarating adventure that is equal parts hilarious and moving. Ultimately, to track down Margo, Q must find a deeper understanding of friendship–and true love.
My Thoughts: I’m usually not a big fan of movies of this genre but was pleasantly surprised that I did enjoy this one. The story is more geared towards teenagers and young adults (in my honest opinion) but older adults would enjoy it too.
The acting is done really well in this movie by Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff (this is the first time that I’ve ever seen their work). The story line in places is kind of dull but it does pick up as the movie & story rolls along.
It’s a simple love story between teenagers who start out as friends and their relationship grows into a teen-style romance. What’s really nice about the story is that it shows young adults how you have to become friends first…invest in that relationship and perhaps a true romance will blossom following the friendship. That’s pretty nice to see in this day and age.
Overall…I would rate the film 6 popcorn buckets out of 10 popcorn buckets on my rating scale. It’s available now on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD. Just in-time for the holiday gift-giving season. A nice little film for family movie night for those of you who have teens and/or young adults in the household.

This sounds like a nice family film. I like How they show how important friendship can and should be in any deeper relationship.
Sounds like ti would be great for some folks, but I can’t really get into teenage romances anymore. Which is not to say I don’t like other YA/teen, even tween stories. I think it’s the romance part I can’t relate to. I guess I’m too old to remember!
