Overview
Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge, he follows. After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Quentin arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Quentin soon learns that there are clues, and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer Quentin gets, the less he sees of the girl he thought he knew. Wikipedia โ†—

Audience Consensus

Paper Towns is a 2015 American romantic mystery comedy-drama directed by Jake Schreier, based on John Green's 2008 novel. Nat Wolff stars as Quentin "Q" Jacobsen, a cautious Orlando teenager who has been in love with his adventurous next-door neighbor Margo Roth Spiegelman, played by Cara Delevingne, since childhood. After Margo takes Q on an all-night revenge spree against her cheating boyfriend and traitorous friends, she disappears, leaving behind a trail of clues that Q and his friends interpret as a treasure map to find her.

The film explored John Green's central theme โ€” the danger of idealizing another person and projecting your fantasy onto someone who is actually a complex, flawed human being โ€” with warmth and humor. Nat Wolff brought earnest vulnerability to Q's gradual realization that the Margo he imagined and the real Margo are very different people. Paper Towns earned $85 million worldwide on a $12 million budget.
