[edit] Plot outline

Jenny Taylor (Amanda Bynes) has found her ideal man who she just knows would sweep her off her feet. The only problem? He's Jason Masters (Chris Carmack), the world's biggest rock star. Hoping for a chance to get close to her idol, Jenny takes a job in his favorite Caribbean resort with her best friend Ryan (Jonathan Bennett). When Jason is washed overboard in a storm, Jenny jumps in to save him and the pair find themselves stranded on a seemingly-deserted tropical island. Jenny discovers that they have landed mere miles away from the resort, but instead of telling Jason the truth she lets him believe they are stranded so she can make him fall in love with her. After she discovers her plan, her arch-rival Alexis (Jamie-Lynn Discala) pretends to be marooned as well. As Jenny's plans fall apart, she begins to realise that her perfect love may have been with her all along.

[edit] International Title/Releases

Temptation Island was the distribution title for Lovewrecked when it was released in different countries over the 2005 and 2006 year period. A Director's Cut was premiered in 2005 at the Dominican Republic International Film Festival held in Cofresi Beach where the film was shot, and was supposed to be the start of the film's theatrical release. Originally, when Media 8 was to distribute the film, North America was supposed to see the film in theaters before any other country. After selling the North American distribution rights to The Weinstein Company, Media 8 Entertainment hoped it could take care of the project. But since the Weinstein Co. had just started it's own company, it did not have enough money and partnership with other companies to fully release Lovewrecked. It also was situated over other films. After 2 years of trouble, The Weinstein Company sold the TV rights to the ABC Family Network in 2007, thus making North America one of the last countries to see Lovewrecked. Most recently however the film was acquired by Delanic Films in the UK, making the UK one of the few countries in which Lovewrecked could be seen nationally on the big-screen.
