25% Tomatometer 8 Reviews 55% Audience Score 500+ Ratings In Beautiful Disaster, bad-boy Travis Maddox (Dylan Sprouse) is exactly what college freshman Abby Abernathy (Virginia Gardner) needs and wants--to avoid. He spends his nights fighting in underground boxing matches, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. But Abby wants nothing to do with Travis. Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his appeal, Travis offers her a simple bet: if he loses his next fight, he must remain sex-free for a month. If he wins, Abby must live in his apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that Abby's dark past is about to emerge, and he may have finally met his match.

Rated: 2/4 Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Beautiful Disaster (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Amanda the Jedi Amanda the Jedi (Youtube) The studio that brought you the AFTER series now brings you an AFTER parody. Significantly more entertaining than the latter but I still can't deem it Fresh. May 31, 2023 Full Review Beautiful Disaster (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media The premise of the source book for Beautiful Disaster, however, is a lot more ridiculous than the regular "good girl/bad boy" premise of that series. Forget insta-love -- this is a tale of insta-lust. May 23, 2023 Full Review Beautiful Disaster (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Natasha Alvar Cultured Vultures Beautiful Disaster is the movie version of junk food. You know it's no good for you, but it tastes decent enough, so you sit back and enjoy the show. Rated: 6/10 May 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
