Uno splendido disastro

I created an account to save other people from seeing this. It's the worst movie I have ever seen. I'm still getting flashbacks that make me cringe. There's nothing sexy and the dialogue made me want to sink into my chair. It's like a horror movie where the horror is replaced by second-hand embarrassment. The music starts and stops at weird places, they had more realistic fights in the sex scenes then the fight scenes and the girl actually throws up in his face! At least 50 shades of grey made me laugh (in the wrong places), but this just made me want to drink so much I could forget ever seeing it.

This movie was a DISASTER, for sure not a beautiful one. The girl who played Abby is the worst actor I have ever seen. I could have walked up day of shooting and done a better job than her. It's honestly hard for me to think they watched this back and then signed off on it. If my ticket wasn't $20, I would have left the theater. As someone who has read this whole series multiple times, the day they were released, the movie was an utter disappointment. They turned it into a rom-com and then tried way too hard to be funny so then it wasn't actually funny. There was no depth or even conversation that would warrant love leading up to the "I love You's". I know they can't put everything from the book in the movie but my goodness. They took everything that made the book good out and replaced it with terrible acting, no plot, and lame comedy. 1000000/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, I expected not to like it at all. It's actually pretty funny and I got some good laughs out of it. It is not trying hard to be a serious romantic story and instead it embraced and poked fun at the predictability of the cliches and I enjoyed that. I was worried about how they would portray the characters/their relationship since in the book it is pretty problematic/borderline abusive but they definitely softened it up and made it entertaining. Clearly not meant to be taken seriously! Just an enjoyable movie with some spicy scenes and questionable (but good!) acting.

I fully expected to hate this - but, well, I didn't. "Abby" (Virginia Gardner) is fed up picking up the pieces for her gambler father so heads to college in California. 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). Replete with some of his latest victim's blood on her top, she feigns a loathing for the man but... Shortly afterwards, their dorm water supply runs dry and she has to move in with her friend. Guess what? Yep, one of her new roomies is none other than the mischievous pugilist. 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. It's about pretty people having a bit of a laugh and hoping some of that rubs off on us. 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 trying to do grown up, and it makes a half-decent fist of it. The last twenty minutes are particularly daft though - and did rather ruin the thing. 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.

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.
