I wasn't expecting to much, so this movie never disappointed me and I was entertained:-)
It is what the title says: a beautiful disaster. It's a beautiful cast and they where perfectly suited for their parts, but the rest was pretty much a disaster. This is clearly a low budget movie and could have easily been a lot better, if they wanted to make it better. I'm not familiar with the storyline of the books and don't have any desire to read them, but I like the premise and the plot have potential. Not blockbuster potential, but it could have been better executed. I do hope they makes the sequels.

A beautiful disaster
It is SO bad that is good???!!
I mean this movie is just so chaotic and crazy I don't even know how to describe it.
The movie is a bunch of cliché and cringeworthy events, cheap jokes and loads of bizarre unexpected turns.
Is this a dark comedy? A satire? A rom com? A chick flick? An action movie? IM SO CONFUSED and I still had loads of fun watching it!
You won't be able to take one single thing seriously and at the same time there's something deep and raw in every character and how they behave.
The chemistry between the leads is off the charts and although I have never watched Dylan Sprouse acting before, i am a fan now. He seems to be in a second skin and although the script is not great he makes us feel like he isn't even acting and you are watching a day of his life as a punk but sensitive Romeo fighter.
The girl's acting is awkward but quirky and funny at the same time and somehow that works too.
I don't know what I was expecting when I started watching it but this wasn't it and I'm all for it.
Lighthearted, silly and fast and very hot charismatic male lead.
If you've not read the book - DON'T do it now
I watched this movie and found it - for a romcom- quite nice. It is funny, its kinda sexy and I was surprised that Abby was fun and relatable. The plot progressed well and i loved both main characters.
Then I read the book. WOW was it bad. There was so much problematic stuff going on with Travis as a character and Abby was such a typical "i'm not like other girls" not to mention the s*** shaming that happened in the books.
I'm so happy with what the writers did with the material and how they brought the story to 2023. Also they left out a bunch of side characters and really put emphasis on the story ALSO leaving out a third of the "on-off" toxic relationship stuff. One of the best book - to - movie - adaptions I've seen.
I would watch the movie again, but the book needs to be incinerated.
