Beautiful Disaster

A timeless classic it's not, but I had a great time watching this movie. It felt like the producers replaced all of the After self-seriousness with a healthy dose of lighthearted self-awareness, and the result is so much more watchable. Especially in the first half, each predictable plot turn came with a big wink to the audience, which somehow made me forgive the predictability and just go along for the ride. The two leads had excellent chemistry - I was especially impressed by Dylan Sprouse, who came across very charming but authentic. I'd watch another self-deprecating romcom like this, over the treacly fare that's dominated the genre for a while.
