The Lifeguard (2013)
Written and directed
by Liz W. Garcia this film stars Kristen Bell, David Lambert and
Mamie Gummer. A woman who has just turned 30 quits her job in the
city to return to her home town and regresses into adolescence.
There are a couple of
problems with this film, the first is that the characters never
really suffer for some pretty irresponsible behaviour which all gets
brushed away in the rushed resolution of the story. Secondly what
would be a seriously creepy relationship if the genders were reversed
is also never properly addressed and is weakly written. Kristen Bell
is actually pretty impressive in the lead role but the script needs
more work frankly.
2/5
