I couldn't help feeling a little bit robbed, it had been set up so well, it literally felt like a different film after her disappearance.
After adjusting to what essentially became a teenage road trip movie I kind of enjoyed it, there were some entertaining moments. The first twenty minutes absolutely blew me away, totally enjoyable, when she'd disappeared I honestly thought it was going to be a kind of Gone Girl thriller, wrong, it fell somewhere between Road Trip and the Goonies. Quentin and a group of friends identify where she may have gone and set off in search of her, to enable Quentin to tell her how much he loves her. Quentin is taken out of his comfort zone, and a spark of life is lit in him. One night Margo climbs into his bedroom window and the pair seek revenge on Margo's cheating boyfriend, and friends that were complicit.
Quentin is a hard working conscientious student, he's grown up opposite the enigmatic and charismatic Margo, and discovers he's in love with her, despite them drifting apart. This is fine but it could have been much better. It could have tightened the middle and added more to the road trip when the group is together. As a movie, it needs more adventures and more cinematic excitement. They are more and less regular teens which has its appeal. The three guys are nice but lacks great charisma. Everything is fair but nothing is outstanding. I also like a good road trip and this one has its moments, too.
Then there is the mystery which is less compelling because I'm mostly waiting for the inevitable road trip. I like those one-night adventures in movies. The movie starts with her taking our lead on a nice adventure. Cara Delevingne shows competent acting and a good intriguing presence which is necessary for the role. Quentin, Ben, Radar, Radar's girlfriend Angela, and Margo's friend Lacey go on a road trip. She's gone the next day but she has left clues for Quentin to find her paper town. She pulls him into a night of revenge against her cheating boyfriend and her backstabbing friends. Now suddenly, she climbs into his window. They found a dead body but he refused to follow her adventures and they drifted apart. They were friends when she first arrived. Margo has been living across the street for 11 years. He's a band geek with his best friends Ben and Radar. Quentin Jacobsen is an Orlando high school senior with a small comfort zone.
