This film is adapted
from a novel by John Green.
Quentin lives next door to Margo in Orlando, Florida. They were friends as they grew up but
are not close now that they are in high school. One night, Margo climbs through the window into Quentin’s
room. She suggests he come along
for a night of adventure. Margo
has just found out her boyfriend has been cheating on her with her best
friend. Her other best friend has
not told her this is going on.
They stop off at a hardware store to get some supplies. Quentin makes an anonymous phone call
to Becca’s house and a naked Jase runs out of the house. He disappointed he won't be able to drive his car because someone has placed
a lojack on his steering wheel. Quentin and Becca go inside and leave a dead catfish in the basement. They visit Lacey’s house and wrap her
car with plastic wrap. At Chuck
Parson’s house they use hair removal cream to remove one of his eyebrows.
Margo goes missing after their pranks
but she’s done this before and her parents don’t want to contact the police
because they think she’s just bored.
Quentin starts to follow clues she’s left behind and he enlists his pals
to help him. This is probably a
lot better if you fit into the age category? I just didn’t find this all that interesting and should
teens be given a blueprint for harassment of their friends or classmates? A lot of things happen that would cause
parents to contact the police or at least stop their spree?? 2 ½* (This movie is OK)
