	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The film occupies a safe and solid middle-class middle ground in teen storyland, between crass gross-out comedies and mawkish romance on one side and edgy, exploratory indie fare on the other"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"There may be nothing fresh left to find in teens coming of age, but director Jake Schreier fakes it with genuine sincerity (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"It may not subvert every cliche of the high-school romance genre, but director Jake Schreier’s coming-of-age dramedy nonetheless pulses with moving and melancholy moments"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Deeply mediocre 'Paper Towns' (...) doesn’t venture much beyond its own young-adult comfort zone (...) Pleasant if derivative entertainment (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"If you're searching for smart, soulful teen entertainment, you can start looking inside 'Paper Towns' (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"A satisfying look at young unrequited love (...) Delevingne imbues her enigmatic role with a lot of soul (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A serenely bland adaptation of the John Green young-adult novel about a regular boy in love with the mystery girl next door."	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"An intriguing tale from the “Fault in Our Stars” author reminds us that cool kids struggle to live up their own legends"	POS
United States	Tim Grierson Village Voice	"Despite an agreeably earnest performance from rising star Nat Wolff, Paper Towns covers familiar coming-of-age terrain and suffers from an opaque turn by newcomer Cara Delevingne that’s not quite as captivating as the story requires"	NEU
