Travis, who has no issue getting any woman he wants, can’t understand why Abby won’t fall at his feet. The thing is, Abby’s had enough trouble in her life because of Mick, and tries to stay away from Travis because she thinks he’ll bring chaos into her life.
His flying kicks and strong build piques her interest, and it appears she’s piqued his interest too. She gets invited to an underground fight her first day at college, and that’s where she meets Travis (Dylan Sprouse), nicknamed Mad Dog Maddox. Now all she wants is a clean slate and fresh beginning. Abby is a poker prodigy, and spent so much of her childhood bailing Mick out of various situations. The film follows Abby (Ginny Gardner), who’s decided to cut her dad Mick (played by Brian Austin Green, who basically sleepwalks through the film) out of her life, leaving him behind as she heads off to college. Kumble, who directed movies like Cruel Intentions and Just Friends, knows how to craft an entertaining film. Roger Kumble’s film is a decidedly different product, which is a good thing. The details I remember from the book are a little fuzzy, since I read it more than 10 years ago, but I definitely recall more angst and brooding bad boy. Those who are fans of Jamie McGuire’s book, which Beautiful Disaster is adapted from, won’t enjoy the film too much.
