“Beautiful Disaster” (** out of four) was a hokey romantic melodrama about a college freshman (Virginia Gardner) trying to distance herself from her past but soon starts to fall for a bad boy (Dylan Sprouse) from the wrong side of the tracks and they have to work on overcoming their differences and backgrounds from each other. Neither beautiful nor a disaster- film is simply a precious and predictable love story although well-directed by Roger Kumble. First in the series of Jamie McGuire’s “Beautiful” book series.
