Left to right: Justice Smith, Jaz Sinclair (sorry, Jaz), Austin Abrams, Halston Sage and Nat Wolff.
I'm not sure this is quite as successful as the other Neustadter / Weber screenplays, despite being based on a novel by John Green, one of the Vlogbrothers and author of The Fault in Our Stars, which they also adapted (as well as The Spectacular Now and The Disaster Artist, leaving (500) Days of Summer to be their only original screenplay). I mean, it's refreshing that the kid doesn't get the girl, the journey being the thing (I was thinking of Stand By Me more than once) - the kid grows up. As I thought the last time, the Cara Delevingne character is quite annoying. (That's not her sister Poppy playing her younger self nor her sister, who's Caitlin Carver.)
The concept of 'paper towns' being imaginary places put on maps so that cartographers can tell if their work is being copied is intriguing, and indeed, may be true.
In the scene where the cow wanders in front of the car, Q shouted at it 'Get off the road!' Then it does. 'How did you do that?' I asked her. 'I have contacts' was her enigmatic reply.
