I expected more from this and that's probably the only reason to be dissapointed. It wasn't a bad movie. I just expected something a little less - unpredictable, knowing John Green I knew he won't go for the classical happy ending, but the ending what I got was exactly what I expected, which wasn't what I hoped for.
It was nice otherwise, the characters were sweet and take away the ridiculously overblown prom theme you get in so many American movies - does prom really mean that much to all of you and there? - and you get pretty nice characters, the nerds weren't too nerdy and I really could relate to the Pokemon song.
One thing that I honestly don't get about these types of films is and this is also sometimes a general understanding that floats around in society: Why do you have to do stupid things to feel alive? Stupid, dangerous, borderline insane? Sure you can allow yourself a mistake here and there in life, but I've never understood the importance of doing stupid things for the sake of doing them. There is a lot of ground between living a boring meaningless life and the life of crime. There are things that are quite responsible, but still immensely fun. I mean, Margo and Q nearly got shot.
Another thing I don't get - if Margo talked to her sister every day - why couldn't the little sister tell Margo Q was going to find her? She knew, right? It would have saved Q a lot of heartache if the sister had just informed her Margo didn't want to be followed, but she didn't - right?
