What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas. Abby (Virginia Gardner - an amiable cross between Alicia Silverstone and Reese Witherspoon) tries to leave behind her dark past in favor of educational pursuits. But as a college freshman, she gets entangled with local bad boy Travis (Dylan Sprouse), who wears his tattoos proudly, rides a noisy bike and happens to be a freestyle bare-knuckle fighter during the night. Abby’s had enough trouble in her life because of her Dad, Mick. She aims to stay away from Travis because she thinks he’ll bring chaos into her life.

‘Beautiful Disaster’ has been adapted from Jamie McGuire’s bestselling romance but doesn’t have the book’s depth of character. The film is rather over-the-top, campy and frivolous.
