‘Resort to Love’ Summary & Ending, Explained – Did Erica Marry Jason?

Published

Steven K. Tsuchida’s film, Resort to Love is a tried and tested Romantic comedy. It puts a struggling singer at the center of the conflict with a broken engagement. Erica Wilson fails to find closure for both her love and passion. The twist and turn of events bring her to an exotic resort in Mauritius, where an astonishing surprise compels her to face her buried feelings and finally move on for good.

Streaming on Netflix, Resort to Love is nothing short of scenic beauty and rib-tickling situations/one-liners. However, it does serve a stale story and hence, is less unique and extremely cliche.


Plot Summary

A New York-based singer, Erica Wilson (Christina Milian), gracefully dresses for the launch event of her first song in a popular singer Cre’s new album. However, at the event, annoyed by online leaks, he smashes his new album and declares his retirement. Erica’s dreams and her song both get broken into pieces.

Erica’s friend plus talent representative, Amber, tries her best to console her, but Erica has lost it. The album was her everything. Last year, she was going to get married to Jason, the love of her life, but he got transferred to Charleston, and Erica stayed back in New York to pursue her singing career. But now, her dreams look dull and depressing.

A few months later, Amber brings a new job opportunity to a wasted Erica. Amber assigns Erica the job of a resort singer at Mer de Saphir Resort on the island of Mauritius. After a bit of tantrum, Erica takes the job, but she finds out that she may have to sing at the weddings too when she reaches the resort. The label of Wedding Singer vexes her clear-mindedness further. She complains that leaping and moving on from a failed singing career and a failed engagement to become a Wedding Singer isn’t her end goal. Yet, Amber buys her into the work, and Erica finds a subtle way of enjoying the annoying job. She starts singing the song that uplifted her passion.

However, the real inciting incident arrives when Jason visits the resort with his fiance Beverly for their wedding. Erica is expected to be an entertainer to the new guests and sing at her ex’s wedding. It isn’t the kind of closure she was looking for, and her choices will unravel the drama further.
