After busting her stalking his Instagram profile, he pushes her to agree to go on a date with him. She is very attractive to him but tells him that he isn’t her type. Upon arriving, her best friend takes her to an underground fight where she meets Travis (Sprouse). We meet Abby (Gardner), who is leaving home to start her first year in college. Beautiful Disasters is a pitch perfect romantic comedy The brilliant mind behind Cruel Intentionsand After We Collided, Roger Kumble, adapted and directed the film. Below I share my review of the movie and some excerpts from my interview with the two stars.īeautiful Disasters follows a first-year college student who tries to distance herself from her past while resisting her attraction to a new bad boy at school, Travis.

The film stars Virginia Gardner and Dylan Sprouse in the lead role. It certainly does not need a cinema viewing (even though there were certainly 50+ people at the screening I attended) - but even if it is too long, it's still an OK watch.Beautiful Disasters is a brand new movie based on the book by author Jamie McGuire. The last twenty minutes are particularly daft though - and did rather ruin the thing. It's trying to do grown up, and it makes a half-decent fist of it. I found there to a bit of chemistry between the two, 'Travis' is actually quite charismatic and the humour is marginally more sophisticated than we would find in, say, the interminable 'After.' series of teen melodramas. It's about pretty people having a bit of a laugh and hoping some of that rubs off on us. There now follows a rather contrived - and frankly ridiculous - bet that sees her end up sharing his bed for a month, Will they, won't they? That doesn't matter - this film isn't about jeopardy. Guess what? Yep, one of her new roomies is none other than the mischievous pugilist. Shortly afterwards, their dorm water supply runs dry and she has to move in with her friend. Replete with some of his latest victim's blood on her top, she feigns a loathing for the man but.

First night there, she and her pal 'America' (Libe Barer) head off to a student equivalent of 'Fight Club' where she meets the bare knuckle champion 'Travis' (Dylan Sprouse). 'Abby' (Virginia Gardner) is fed up picking up the pieces for her gambler father so heads to college in California. I fully expected to hate this - but, well, I didn't.
