Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
A Disappointing Continuation
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
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.
Jenny (Amanda Bynes) has just graduated from high school. But, to her infinite lament, she has never had a boyfriend. This seems very odd, of course, since she is beautiful and fun. The truth is, she never lets anyone get close, especially not longtime "friend" Ryan (Jonathan Howell). Then, too, she is stuck on a pop singer, Jason (Chris Carmack) and daydreams endlessly of his love. Her quirky parents (dad is Fred Willard) don't give very good advice, either. Now, the gal who has set her sights on starting a pre-med program in the fall has landed a job on an island resort for the summer. Off Jenny goes, along with Ryan and, to her chagrin, high school nemesis Alexis (Jamie-Lyn Sigler). Lo and behold, superstar Jason comes to the same island for a bit of R and R! He even notices Jenny when she trips in front of him, accidentally. Later that night, at a party, Jason gets ill and falls off a boat. Jenny, a trained lifeguard, pushes down a life raft and jumps in, too. Saving his life, the duo float all night and in the morning, land on a deserted island. Or is it? Maybe not, but Jason's leg is hurt and he can't walk. Therefore, since this is a big opportunity for Jenny to get close to the singer, she tries to keep Jason from finding out that the island really isn't uninhabited. How long will it last? 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. The other cast members are fine, too, but not necessarily in the same category as Bynes. The setting, naturally, is lovely and sunny while the costumes and other film amenities are top-notch. The script, too, is lively and humorous and so is the direction. In short, if you love romantic comedy, check this one out. Although the cast is quite young, the tale has a universal appeal for dedicated fans of the genre.
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? well, you might get up of your sit, turn off your TV and say mentally something like "oh God, I have lost me valious time, and I want it back!!" Well, you are probably not going to think that but you are going to feel like that, so the problem is that if your not a teenage girl that get fascinated with poor romance movies, then this movie will make you loose your time, anyway if you are interested in a good romance movie I recommend you "If Only" its....... wordless.
This was a great movie. Of course, there are things wrong with it, but it is very enjoyable and stands up among the wasteland of teen comedies. 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. She manages to retain and sense of reality in the bizarre plot her character finds herself. Jonathan Bennet is sweet and welcome as Jenny's best friend Ryan who also has deeper feelings for her. I found myself rooting for them to get together at the end. The moment where Ryan rescues Jenny from a storm is one of the best in the movie. The role of Alexis is stereotypical and one dimensional. The jokes are actually clever instead of using lame and inappropriate sex jokes. 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. Lance Bass is annoying and unnecessary. Joey Kern's Milo is annoying as well. Kathy Griffin is underused. 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.
