Quentin (Nat Wolff)  or "Q" to his buddies started out as friends with Margo Roth Spiegelman (Cara Delevingne) when they were little kids. They grew apart as they entered high school and Margo began to hang out with the popular kids. But, Q continued to love her from afar. Then, one night she comes to his room to get him to help her on a mission to get back at her cheating boyfriend and his friends. As they spend the night performing crazy pranks, Q only falls more in love with Margo. Then, the next morning she has disappeared. He finds mysterious clues that she has left behind and encourages his friends to go on the road trip of their young lives to find the missing Margo. Will they find her? And what will they learn about themselves along the way?

This was a great coming-of-age story. It was funny and touching without being too heavy. The cast was just great. Cara is beautiful and very talented and Nat Wolff has never been more likeable. The rest of the cast was really good, too. I liked these characters because they were all portrayed as smart and looking toward their futures. The language was teen appropriate and not full of cuss words. These kids are going places and could be trusted to do the right thing, for the most part. There is some sexuality but it is not overplayed. Fun and engaging without the pat Hollywood ending. Go see it!
