The Lifeguard (2013)
8/10
Ehhh. Well I like Kristen Bell
17 September 2023
An unadorned Kristen leaves the city and her AP writing job to return to mom and dad. She gets her old lifeguard position and settles into whatever it is she seems to want to settle into. Which, unfortunately, includes having sex with one high schooler and hanging out and smoking dope with a bunch more, along with some of her piggy-backing adult friends.

I have always considered Kristen very attractive and enjoy her screen personality. There were some good slice-of-life elements to this, the best thing about the movie, that stay with you after viewing. But there were also some characters acting out of character or without any depth or substance. And some of the musical background was just plain cheesy. In the end I gave it as good a rating as I did because of Kristen, but this movie is not a finished or entirely cohesive product.
