"Paper Towns," a film adaptation on the John Green novel of the same name, has some big shoes to fill.

When the film adaptation of John Green's "The Fault In Our Stars" was released in 2014, it opened to considerable buzz and excitement due to the source material's huge sales and strong fan support.

Managing to obtain a "Certified Fresh" 81 percent from review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes while grossing a huge $307.2 million at the global box-office against a budget of $12 million according to Box Office Mojo, "The Fault In Our Stars" was one of the bigger movie success stories of the previous year.

"Paper Towns" succeeds "The Fault In Our Stars" in what will be a series of films adapted from John Green's books, to be followed up by "Looking for Alaska" in 2016.

The story revolves around Quentin "Q" Jacobsen, a teenager from Florida, who is infatuated with his neighbor Margo Roth Spiegelman. After Margo unexpectedly leaves town, Quentin becomes obsessed with finding her whereabouts.

While the "Paper Towns" book was well-received, even winning the 2009 Edgar Award for best young adult novel, it was not nearly as popular as John Green's follow up, "The Fault In Our Stars."

Additionally, while "Paper Towns" leads Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff have a following, "The Fault In Our Stars" leads Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort are more high-profile actors, appearing together in the blockbuster "Divergent" series among other films.

However, early buzz for the film adaptation has been highly positive, with many critics commending its young cast, affecting story and strong direction.

Variety movie critic Justin Chang said that the film "pulses with moving and melancholy moments" and that it is "more affecting and less tearjerking" than its predecessor "The Fault In Our Stars." He remarked that the film provided a more authentic depiction of its subject matter than other young adult adaptations.

The praise from The Hollywood Reporter film critic Todd McCarthy was more muted, calling it a modest, middle-of-the-road teen drama. He praises the performance of lead Nat Wolff, remarking that Quentin was "visibly aware of how much growing he's still got to do."

While "Paper Towns" likely won't gross the $307.2 of "The Fault in Our Stars," given its early buzz, it is likely to achieve a comparable amount of favorable response and critical acclaim. Only time will tell if it can manage to be the smash that its predecessor was.

"Paper Towns" comes out nationwide on July 24, 2015.
