Love Wrecked

Plot synopsis:
Jenny Taylor (Bynes) is a fan of Jason Masters (Chris Carmack), a world famous rock star, but her efforts to meet him are always thwarted by her nemesis, Alexis (Jamie-Lynn Sigler). Hoping to get another chance, Jenny takes a job in Masters' favorite Caribbean resort in St. Luchas with Ryan (Jonathan Bennett) her lifelong friend. She gets her chance by sneaking aboard a vessel Jason is on, but he is washed overboard in a storm while recovering from a bout of sea-sickness, and Jenny jumps in to save him. The pair find themselves stranded on a seemingly-deserted tropical island. Jenny discovers that they have landed a short distance from the resort, but instead of telling Jason the truth, she selfishly leads him believe they are stranded so she can make him fall in love with her. After she discovers Jenny's plan, a jealous Alexis pretends to be marooned as well and joins them.As Jenny's plans fall apart, she begins to realize that her perfect love may have been with her all along - Ryan, whom she has always put off dating due to their friendship, has had a crush on her his whole life. While Ryan has been helping her by giving her things to survive on the island (like food and makeup), he has been seeking advice on asking her out. He completely transforms himself and when she sees him, all she talks about is Jason. Ryan starts to feel bad and begins to leave, but he stops the car midway, gets off and kisses her. He tells her they are perfect together and confesses he can't stop thinking about her, but Jenny protests that they are friends. Upon hearing this, he feels bad and leaves her standing alone as he gets into the car and tells her that he is going back home. She feels bad and goes and tells Jason everything (on the other side of the island) and he promises to sue her before leaving.She is still on the other side of the island, when Ryan begins to pack his things and go back home. At that moment, the resort receives news that a storm is going to hit St. Luchas Puerto Plata on the side where Jenny is. Unaware of the news, Jenny sits on a branch when the storm hits. Upon hearing about the storm, Ryan rushes onto the other side to save her. When he reaches there, the storm has already hit, so he takes Jenny into the jungle separating the resort and the beach, and lights a fire to keep her warm. After this moment, Jenny realizes that he is the one that cares for her the most. She comes back to the resort with Ryan after the storm is over and sees that the whole resort is practically destroyed. When Jenny and Ryan reach the lobby, Jason and his manager pull her inside a room, where they tell her that they need her help and that they are holding a press conference to tell everyone about the case. When she is about to answer, Ryan bursts inside the room and tells Jason that whatever he does, he should not lose Jenny and that she will be the best girl Jason will ever meet.After that he confesses his love for Jenny and then is forced/carried out by Jason's bodyguard Gail (Leonardo Cuesta). During the press conference, when Jenny sees Jason lying about everything that happened on the island, she just wants to get it over with. She tells them all that Alexis is his girlfriend and that they are going to get married, and declares to everyone that her real boyfriend is Ryan and then walks up to him and kisses him after both exchange words. Then we see them walking down the resort and dancing. The movie ends with Jason in concert, unhappily dedicating a song to his wife, Alexis.

Review:
My friend CK asked me to go along for this movie, as he's a huge Amanda Bynes fan, having followed her television series What I Like About You, and both of us agreed upon her comic potential in She's The Man, which was a pretty fun gender bender movie.With a title like that, there's nothing too cerebral about Lovewrecked.
Bynes stars as Jenny Riley, and we're quickly introduced to her character's idol worshipping of screen pop singing sensation Jason Masters (Chris Carmack), going totally bonkers during his concert, much to the detriment of best buddy Ryan (Jonathan Bennett).During their summer job at a Caribbean resort, she finds herself caught in a man-overboard situation with Jason, and the two of them thus began a Robinson Crusoe life - until of course Jenny discovers that they aren't really shipwrecked on some remote island at all, and keeps this as a secret from Jason.
When her love rival participates in her little charade, it becomes like the reality TV series Survivor, where each have to outplay, outwit and outlast the other in order to get the affections of the lone pop star.Directed by Randal Kleiser of Grease and The Blue Lagoon fame, this movie too had Bynes strut around mostly in bikinis, the apparel of choice for any girl working at a resort / stuck in a desert island.
Bynes still haven't lost her comic timing, however here she's let down by an extremely weak story, and an even more disappointing lack of laughs from the stilted comedy.
The Riley parents were such throwaway characters that you wonder if their inclusion was for the sake of extending the run time, which clocks in at a short 86 minutes.So unless you're a true blue Bynes fan, or have that penchant for teenage romance movies, do steer clear or you'll find yourself getting pretty bored at predictability..
I grinned here and there, but, well, maybe it's just the dude in me, I'm not sure, because I really like the romantic comedy genre, but this film seemed to fall a little flat.
But the story premise wasn't played out to its fullest.I mean, this had the potential to be a really hilarious film, but the gags and story just seemed to plod along from one superficial "chicks fighting over dude" joke to the next.I don't know.
I'm not a total teen movie, chick flick freak or anything...but I watched this movie and must admit that it wasn't anything offensive.
I liked Amanda in "She's the man!", thought that she did a decent job, and she seams to have no shame in making a fool out of herself in this movie.
If you're looking for something very light and with nothing bad in it, then this might be a good movie to see once (as I'm so used to intense, sad and depressing pictures set in cold, dark, Eastern European castles where vampires are always popping up).Jenny is a bookish girl from Massechusetts, about to enter into medical school, right after she finishes her summer school job program (along with her best of friends', Ryan).
Set in a romantic Caribbean, paradise like resort, that is where she and Ryan are to spend the rest of their summer working at the Hotel.
Although, suddenly something disturbs what should have been the best time for Ryan to make a move on Jenny (because he's always had a crush on her since they were kids), when a Rock star comes to stay at the Hotel for 2 days on a layover to one of his other gigs.
Jenny has been waiting to be swept off of her feet by a man all of her teen life, and she's been fantasizing over this Rock star meeting her and somehow loving her that whole time.
Just then a storm hits the island, somehow her and Mr.Rock star end up in a life boat together.
Jenny realizes that this could be the perfect chance to make the man of her dreams realize he "loves" her...Meanwhile, back at the resort, Jenny's worst enemy is working hard to find out her secret and destroy her...Yes, other people have been complaining that this movie is too predictable.
But on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of light-hearted humor, plus an innocent, nice guy getting the girl in the end..
If you're a fan of Amanda Bynes you might enjoy this just because she's in it playing her usual role, but otherwise, this movie is pretty awful.The main character Jenny is supposed to be a smart, soon-to-be pre-med student who is looking for love while working a summer job on a tropical resort.
Sure Amanda Bynes is cute and can be funny, but she comes across as a bit pathetic in this one.The movie is also filled with cliché characters, which makes it a bore, and it's very predictable from the moment it starts.
You have the cute best friend with a crush on Jenny, the typical mean girl enemy (who happens to be everywhere she is), the rock star's stuck up agent with a British accent and weird hair, the black friend who's a player, an unsympathetic boss, the whole works.Now other than the characters seeming more desperate than funny, there isn't anything else horribly wrong with the movie, but it definitely falls flat and isn't all that enjoyable.
But there is nothing offensive about it, it is cutesy and clean, so if you're really bored and are into teen girl rom-coms or you like Bynes, it may be worth a one time watch.
If you like more substance to a movie as far as plot, characters, or humor, you will probably want to skip this one..
Even if it's been a very long time since I watched this movie, I'd forgotten most of the scenes, but I could already predict what the ending would be during the first 2 minutes of the movie!
Watch the first two minutes, I dare you, and you'll know who Jenny's going to be ending up with.Love Wrecked revolves around Jenny (Amanda Bynes) who is utterly in love with rockstar, Jason Masters.
Jenny found out that the "marooned island" that they're on, is actually connected to the resort!
And mayhem occurs.Seeing Amanda Bynes in this movie, reminded me of her in "She's the Man", "The Amanda Show" and "What a Girl wants".
I don't know if that means she's a good actress or if she's just good in acting like a "goofy teenager".I did have a few laughs.
A nice cute story about a young girl who goes to the Caribbean for a summer job with a male friend who has feeling for her.
Randal Klieser did a nice job with this film, and Amanda Bynes and the rest of the cast do a nice job as well.Outstanding family entertainment!.
I wouldn't say this movie changed my life or anything, but it was very cute and romantic.
Amanda Bynes is absolutely adorable in this film.
Well, before I watched this movie, I'll admit I didn't have very high hopes for this "feature presentation" just by looking at the cover.
There's nothing really wrong with this movie, it's pretty much about these kids on a tropical island paradise with rock star "hunk": Jason Masters.
Jenny Taylor (Amanda Bynes) and this other girl come up with many wild and ridiculous schemes to win over Jason Masters.
This movie hits the pinnacle of dumbness when Jason Masters states very eloquently to Jenny that, "You rock me babe, you rock me two times around the world."....What????
Well, overall, if you and your buddies want to entertain yourselves, and have a few good laughs, I would recommend this movie to you.
A talented cast with some funny moments and a sweet storyline keep this movie from becoming just another teen waste.The story is simple.
Jenny loves a rock star and is delighted when she is shipwrecked with him on an island, only to find out they are steps away from the resort she was working at.Amanda Bynes never misses a comic beat, although here she doesn't have enough to do.
Jonathan Bennet is sweet and welcome as Jenny's best friend Ryan who also has deeper feelings for her.
The moment where Ryan rescues Jenny from a storm is one of the best in the movie.
Jenny wants to find romance from someone who really loves her instead of just to date someone for sex like in many teen comedies.There are some weak moments, mainly due to the supporting cast.
Despite these shortcomings, the movie is enjoyable thanks to good performances from Amanda Bynes and Jonathan Bennet.
Overall, this is a funny and sweet movie.
I would recommend it to any Amanda Bynes fan or anyone looking for a sweet and wholesome teen comedy..
This movie is hilarious, everyone loves to laugh right.
This movie would actually been wrecked and tore apart had Amanda Bynes not being casted in this film.
This movie is like what happens if Lucille Ball is stranded in an island.
Well Amanda (Jenny) is obsess with The famous Roch Star Jason Master.There are so many funny scenes and romantic scenes in the movie.
You simply can not imagine any other actress tackling Amanda's role in this movie.
Amanda is so believable as an obsess fan that you thought that she might actually be one.The place where the movie was filmed is just stunning beautiful, it was just smart to put an equally beautiful actress in the background.
a great movie for your Amanda DVD collection.
This may be Amanda last PG movie so enjoy!
I have HIGH expectations for this movie because I'm a fan of teen flicks, chick flicks and romantic comedies since I'm 15 myself.
Jenny Taylor (Amanda Bynes) is a rabid fan of rock star Jason Masters (Chris Carmack).
Her best friend Ryan (Jonathan Bennett) is secretly in love with her.
Alexis follows Ryan and competes with Jenny while joining in on the ruse.This is a silly teen comedy.
Somehow, Amanda Bynes is always good in comedies, and this one does not disappoint.
I love the parts where she and Jamie-Lynn Sigler fight over the rock star guy.
Bynes is not pretty but looks great in a bikini and convincing as an island-type of girl, which suits the story as it has an island resort setting.Jonathan Bennett looks handsome and very likable as the shy and nervous lovable guy who has a crush on his best friend.
Even with no story, it is great to see beautiful people running around the beach :) It is a happy movie that keeps you smiling out of the cinema.
The version they showed us was still in a rough cut stage.It is most definitely a movie for fans of Amanda.

I'm not a big fan but I like her acting style and her "cuteness factor." I would recommend the movie to anyone looking for a light hearted youthful sort of teeny-Hopper movie.As for the filming location, I would recommend Sun Village to anyone looking for a great Caribbean Vacation.

Fun romance-in-paradise flick with Amanda Bynes.
Released in 2005, "Love Wrecked" stars Amanda Bynes playing a high school student who has a crush on a rock star (Chris Carmack).
If you are a teenage girl full of dreams about your prince charming, and also if you don't caret to watch a movie with bad actuations and bad performances then I think you will probably like this movie.
But what happens when you like to watch good movies?
with good performances, great stories, fun dialogs, and you know, those kind of movies that doesn't make you feel like you have lost your time, what happens then?
I love amanda bynes though.
Here we go again.Jenny and Ryan graduate from high school and spend their summer working on a beautiful island along the Caribbean.A rock star shows up and when he falls off a boat, Jenny rescues him and the two appear to be stranded on a remote island.
When Jenny realizes they're still on the island, she tries to fool the rock star so as to have him all for herself.
Enter her rival and eventually her boyfriend.When the truth finally emerges, the rock star threatens lawsuit, but his nasty manager wants to use the situation to concoct a story for publicity purposes.Let's say the ending is where everyone gets what they deserve.The scenery is beautiful but hit the deck on this one..
A teen movie with way too bizarre storyline.
When I rent this tape, I thought it's gonna be a wonderful movie, with the features of actors such as Amanda Byrne and Chris Carmack.
It started off with both Jenny Taylor (Amanda Byrne) & Jason Masters (Chris Carmack) 'stranded' in an uninhibited island, while actually there were just at the other side of the island.
But based on the movie, it's because she wanted to spend time with Jason all by herself.
Talk about being stingy, huh..By now you wouldn't have known how Jenny can end up with her best friend, Ryan Howell (Jonathan Bennett), right?
Haha ..Yeah yeah, just like all other teen movie, they finally were together.
It'd be nice if the love in real life could be that simple as in the movie.So, a score of 3 out of 10.
All credit to Amanda who tried his best to make this movie at least a watchable one..
The scenery was very beautiful...Dominican Republic now seems like a perfect summer vacation.Story: Jenny (Amanda Bynes) is nuts about this rock star Jason Masters.
Later on Jenny discover that on the other side of the island is where her resort that is working at is.
I love the part when Alexis and Jenny battle each other for jason.
And Amanda Bynes has been up and coming and a terrific comedienne for quite some time really giving a hilarious performance in such great films like She's The Man and What A Girl Wants.
Nonetheless here is Lovewrecked which is not quite a teen movie but ultimately turns into that and despite a rather amusing premise never really takes off the way you might hope.
There is no sexual content, no bad language, no really inappropriate humor with the except of a slightly crude 'fart' scene involving a noise maker which for once a 'fart' scene that was actually half decently amusing mostly because of Amanda Bynes.Amanda Bynes is still neat and tidy and just funny and cute in her role as star obsessed Jenny Taylor who has an unhealthy fascination with a rock idol Jason Masters.
Bynes still has great comedic timing but the script doesn't exactly do her justice and she could do far better...we've seen far better from her but she makes some of the more flat jokes seem a little more funny and she brings life to what could have been a rather dull film.
Jason Masters is played by former O.C. alumni Chris Carmack who does an okay job but his role and his performance is a little mundane and laid back.
Jonathan Bennett is a sadly underused addition to the cast as Jenny's best friend since child hood Ryan Howell who happens to be completely in love with Jenny despite her obsession with Masters but Jenny doesn't know.
Bennett does a good job, much like Bynes, considering the script given to him which doesn't give him much to play with but as the underdog secret admirer he is really good and him and Bynes have great chemistry and I would love to see them do something of a higher caliber together.
Lovely Soprano's actor Jamie-Lynn DiScala leaves her Jersey accent and tough girl demeanor behind to play the pampered and popular Alexis Manetti, Jenny's nemesis who is also obsessed with Masters and the two girls find themselves at each other's throat over him when they stumble upon him in real life.
They have almost hilarious moments against each other but it's such a light movie that nothing ever takes off.The thing with Lovewrecked that so many people are having a problem with is that it's 'cute', and absolutely nothing more than that.
But they like movies too so that's fine and dandy but if you're looking for a romance for yourself or adults then this one isn't gonna fit the bill but if you want something the whole family can enjoy with no worries and no explanations needed then you could do worse than Lovewrecked.
That's a shame that movie is on post production,or something like that.When I watched it I liked it.I liked it because I'm a Amanda Bynes fan.But,well,I really hoped the movie were more better.The movie just missed something.The whole wrecked on lonely island thing...It's OK,but when the lonely island come to light that is just other side of curort.That I wasn't expected.For example.
I was thinking they really was wrecked on lonely island,and I thanked not just they two: a rock star and Amanda,but i thanked that her be-lover also,it has to be a love triangle for my opinion.
Movie was OK..but i think it could be much better..
Jenny (Amanda Bynes) has just graduated from high school.
Off Jenny goes, along with Ryan and, to her chagrin, high school nemesis Alexis (Jamie-Lyn Sigler).
This is a fun film, definitely enhances by Bynes winning personality and looks.
She has a quirky sense of humor (see the wonderful What a Girl Wants) and lights up this film with ease.
