I don't expect Oscar quality, I just fancied an easy rom com with a predictable ending. My gawd this was bad. Writing and acting is flat. And who dressed her? Seriously? Who wears wedged heels trying to find a lost treasure on an island? Or her long sleeved tight top on a beach? Is this Iceland? And who handles a very old book in such a humid climate in an office with bare hands? The pathetic scene where she gets lost in the "jungle" (I mean, was that someone's backyard?) and the snake that was clearly thrown at her? The girlfriend/business manager/future fiancé was such a non story and her character added absolutely nothing to an already hopeless storyline. Because the whole movie was so flat these and some other tiny details were really irritating. Don't waste your time. Plenty of other easy watching chick flicks that are predictable without the massive cringe factor. Story could have made a nice chick flick. Producers failed to pull that off.
