I was extremely excited to see these books turned into movies. I spent a good chunk of my late middle school early high school years reading these on Wattpad. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed that the movies and books similarity was probably 30 percent at best. In my opinion. They could have taken the time to fully develop Hardin's character it was very flat compared to the book. I would say if you've never read the books you would think that it's a good movie maybe even great. If you have read the books don't try to compare it to the books because you will be disappointed.

I first read Beautiful Disaster when it first hit the shelves, and honestly have re-read it every year. When I heard that it was going to be turned into a movie my hopes were not high. Then when I seen that Wattpad Studios and Voltage Pictures were involved with the making of this film. I thought it would be useless to watch considering the same companies were involved with the production of After which was a disaster within itself. The casting of Beautiful Disaster was alright. One of the main things that made me want to rate this a 3/5 was that, the whole movie seemed rushed. There was barely any development with Abby and Travis friendship into romance. It was like one minute she hated him, and the next she was in love with him. I understand that the movie cannot be the exact accuracy of the book, but that was the major plot of the book. That should not have been rushed. Then with Parker only being involved with Abby in the movies was like 15 minutes at max. Abby and Parkers relationship was a good few chapters. There were other points that didn't make it into the movie that should have, but those were the main two. Overall, the movie itself was not too bad. I will say it was better than any of the After films.
