A Nutshell Review: Lovewrecked
Rating: 3/10
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.
