edwagreen Beach blanket bingo. 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.

i77310 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. Really funny. 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. Chris Carmack is cool as the vain and spoilt rock star. Both guys and the girls look great on camera. 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 songs aren't great but the story is sweet and light-hearted. I'm surprised by the PG-13 rating. To me it is definitely a PG movie, great for tween.

DICK STEEL 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. No, it's not a doomed spoof of the Love Boat, but the teenage romance here is quite as cheesy and predictable. 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. There are comedic situations which either make you laugh, or make you laugh from how bad it is. Sadly Lovewrecked had more of the latter, and for one scene, had to rely on the toilet humour favourite of the fart sequence.As for the other characters, they're basically all one dimensional. The catty love rival, the handsome scheming nice-on-outside-unethical-on-inside pop star, the pining buddy, the mean resort manager, the horny colleague, the arrogant star assistants and minders, the list goes on. 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.

danstra I saw it at the 1st Annual Dominican Republic Int'l Film Festival at the Sun Village Resort in Puerto Plata (as already stated, this is the location where it was filmed). I thought it was pretty good. 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. :) Best, Dan
