Joli désastre

One of my favorite romantic books ever turned into a completely and I mean COMPLETELY different story! Too bad , I really love this book. In fact I don't know how many Times I even read it. The movie is fun and cute but it's truly another story. They missed entire Abby / Travis playing hot / cold. Parker is an idiot in book but not in this way. I just wish they really did justice to this book. But hey at least more people will find out about it and read it. If you haven't already you should. It's amazing love story of bad boy and virgin girl. Really really!!! Can someone start doing justice to good books please? 😊

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 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.

I will never understand why someone in the film industry would read a book, enjoy it so much to a point they want to adapt it into a movie, and then proceed to change the ENTIRE thing. Did the script writer even read the book? Why would the author sign off on such major changes? One of the worst book to movie adaptations I have ever seen. Bad casting, bad music score, cringey, cheesy, awkward. The story is not a romantic comedy, so why turn it into one? I knew going in, it would be a disappointment. I didn't think it would be THIS big of a disappointment. The scenes felt rushed, the sex was just weird, some of the chemistry seems forced. An hour and 45 minutes I'll never get back. All around just bad, bad, bad.

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.
