Nat Wolff and Cara Delevingne star as wayward teens in the latest John Green movie, Paper Towns.
But do they connect?
In other words,Paper Townsbegins as a pure Young Adult tale of unrequited love and thwarted adolescent yearnings.
Either youre going to go with this kind of unrepentant schmaltz or youre not.
This deliberate contradiction is what holdsPaper Townsup despite its lesser following acts.
As that teen who has his life rocked by a vanishing crush, Wolff serves Greens machinations well.
Margo is quite consciously the eternal wayward question mark you probably knew in high school or college.
Its a self-cultivated image that is exhilarating in youth but faintly tragic beyond that.
Of course,Paper Townsisnt interested in theafter.
