Love Wrecked Trailers

18-year-old Jenny Taylor is ecstatic when she finds out that her favorite rock star, Jason Masters, is a guest at the tropical resort where she is working for the summer. When they are both thrown overboard during a Caribbean cruise, she saves his life and they find themselves stranded on a remote beach. Deliriously in love with the idea of time alone with him, she manages to hide the fact that they're a stone's throw away from their resort.

Reviews
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Blueghost I saw the updated Shakespeare/de-Vere play "She's the Man", and saw the trailer for this flick. I'd been wanting to rent it at Blockbuster because it looked like it might be worth a chuckle or two. So there I am in the local Safeway, buying some cereal and milk when I spot the "Love Wrecked" DVD on the impulse rack for three bucks. I'm thinking there's a reason it's $3 (American), but I'm also thinking "Meh, how bad could it be?" I mean, it's got to have at least a couple laughs in it, right? Right?Err... 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. The direction was okay. It could have been better, but it is what it is. The acting for the genre is actually fine. 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. Maybe I'm being too unfair to the film. I'm not sure I could've done a better job with the script at hand. Then again, I probably wouldn't do any worse.At least I only paid a few bucks for a copy. If you must watch it, borrow it from a friend, or check out the libraries copy.
Robert W. I don't exactly know where Lovewrecked came from and I have to assume it was just a hobby for most of the cast and the director because there isn't anything amateur about director Randal Kleiser who has been directing for over 3 decades and helmed absolute classics and cult classics such as Grease, Flight of The Navigator and The Blue Lagoon. 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. It would have made a better after school movie perhaps?? The most important thing to consider about Lovewrecked is that it's fluff...pure fluff and in this case that's not a bad thing. The film is watchable, it even has some rather amusing moments and it's as pure as the driven snow with nothing a parent need worry if their young ones watch it. 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. He has his moments playing the shallow and pampered star but overall you don't really get much from his character. 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. Bynes and Manetti have a great rivalry and I have to harp on the script again because the creators of the film lost out on what could be a great comedic rivalry between them. 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. You can't get any more out of it because it tends to be a shallow and short little film with a 'cute' story but little depth to it at all. But even still there are far worse things and the demographic for this film is probably far younger than what they anticipated making it appropriate and watchable for girls under 11. 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. 6/10
hheeddaa I don't even know if I spelled that right but..whatever. You get the point. I always thought she was so beautiful! I was a little surprised to see her in this kind of movie but I was even more surprised in her acting. I thought she was terrible. Maybe she just wanted a vacation. Can't say I would turn it down. But the real reason for the post was her face. Did she have work done? I guess maybe I never noticed her mouth. It seemed so out of place and horse like. A combination of bad teeth alignment and weird chin work? I don't know but it bugged me the whole movie.. Did anyone else notice this? I love amanda bynes though. She is so adorable!!!
flamingcheese Wow!!! What a GREAT location for a film! 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. When her favorite rock star shows up at the resort to rest up for a few days, she sets her sights on trying to meet him. The film is well shot and directed and the cast was great! I saw it at the Dominican Republic Film Festival and it was a wonderful film to end the festival. The film festival is hosted by the Sun Village Beach Resort and Spa which is the location for about 80% of the film. It really is a beautiful resort and a great spot for a vacation. 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!
