Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Jenny gets out of her shower to be surprised by Ryan, her top can be clearly seen - very much contradicting their dialogue of her being naked.

Quotes:

[Ryan sits down next to Ben, Jenny's father]
Ryan Howell: Sir, I uh... I hope you're going to be okay with the, um, *situation* in St. Lucius this summer.
Ben Taylor: Situation?
Ryan Howell: The, um, living situation... with Jenny and me.
Ben Taylor: Oh, you mean the two of you being roomies?
[Ryan nods]
Ben Taylor: Come on, Ryan. You're the last guy in the world I'm worried about. The *dead last guy*. I'd be more worried about that rat-faced kid, Lenny, the guy with the lazy eye and the boils on his chin.

Teenwrecked!

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. And frankly, I find most teen movies and chick flicks do offend me. So this was quite a surprise. 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. Realising that this might be her last chance in the world to get this kind of opportunity: She stows away pretending to be a waitress on one of the Hotels' private boats which Mr.Rock star will be dinning in that night. Just then a storm hits the island, somehow her and Mr.Rock star end up in a life boat together. They wake up the next morning and find that they are marooned. 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.
