Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Paper Towns (2015)

When enigmatic Margo discovers she's been betrayed by her popular-clique friends, she drags her neighbor (and former childhood bestie) Quentin along with her for a night of revenge-lite. Next day, she’s gone and Q is determined to find her.

It's possible that today's teens delight in this the same way that I did in “Breakfast Club," but I sure pity them for having to make do. The story reeks of cliches and was all surface. It's my guess that, for whatever reason one sits down to watch this movie (e.g. for a good laugh, a little romance, or something fresh), it's just not going to do the trick.
