They also wrote the screenplays for the film adaptations of the novels The Spectacular Now, The Fault in Our Stars, and Paper Towns. For writing The Disaster Artist, Neustadter and Weber were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. They also created Friends with Benefits, which lasted one season. Neustadter was born and raised in a family in Margate City, New Jersey, the son of Anne (née Goldberg) and Michael J. Neustadter.

At age 25, Neustadter moved to study in Los Angeles, California, and shortly thereafter moved to Santa Monica, where he currently resides.
