The Lifeguard (2013)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

That was an excellent one.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Blistering performances.

I given the movie a 7 stars but after reading the reviews of rotten tomatoes ( where mentioned the movie as a sappy ) given another extra star and make rating 8 stars. I we all can be Leigh, Jason , Mel more or less anyone this movie. This is what the life is about. Well crafted created imaginations are great, Closed shaved nuance of real life are great as much as same.I think all the versatile movie movie critics out there should humble enough to see this. Almost all the main characters in the movie are troubled, so the movie line it self daunting, but if you can go along the life like this you obviously can go along in the movie and fall in love with that. Finally - The Lifeguard is a great movie with strong direction and cast.Love it !

In my top 5 worst films ever. Liz Garcia who both wrote and directed this junk should reconsider her career options. Perhaps selling plastic ware on the party plan would be better. How did she ever delude investors into funding this? You will note most of the top reviews come from Kristen Bell fans. I am not. I find her skills mediocre at best. But even she struggles with this terrible script,. Not to mention she's getting a little long in the tooth to keep playing the Baywatch drone.Garcia promoted this as a "dark comedy." Well no one is laughing. Her actors never even crack a smile. This was supposed to be the story of a bright young woman about to turn thirty facing her first serious life crisis. What it really is, is the story of multiple acts of child sexual abuse. Bell's character is supposed to be 29 (she was 31). David Lambert's Jason is supposed to be a 16 year old boy (he was 19 at the time). They have shaved his body to make him appear as young and adolescent as possible.No one--I mean no one--in this story comes to his rescue. Not the perpetrator Leigh, not his Dad, not his school's assistant principal, not any of their friends; no one. He thinks he's in love. In reality, he is being totally and completely used and abused in every way and no one at all ever is called to account or pay for the abuse. Everybody gets a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card one way or the other no matter how flimsy the excuse.I assume that's because we have a double standard for boys and especially teen characters. Had Ms. Garcia written a screen play in which there is a graphic scene (or two) involving a 16 year old school girl being pursued and used sexually with drugs by a 30 year old man would Sundance have even screened it? This is one of the most tasteless films for it's concept(not nudity) I have ever seen.Fortunately for the actors no ones career got hurt. This dog had no legs. Garcia and Bell tried to sell it as "graphic" to line up distribution but that didn't fly either so it went almost immediately to DVD. Watch it if you must. If you are a Bell fan, you'll like it. Mostly she only has to show up in a red bathing suit and she can get at least 8 stars. I finally just threw my copy away.

This film tells the story of a 29 years old journalist, who is confused by her life and decides to go back to her hometown to sort out that she really wants.I thought "The Lifeguard" was a comedy, but it was far from it. It tells the story of a woman who is confused with her life, making some unfortunate life choices which have drastic consequences. Various individuals in the eye of the storm react differently, and the way they differ is engaging. It tests the viewers' emotions and the limits, which it succeeds big time. However, the ending is rushed and confusing, I do not quite understand why the teacher has to talk to the father in the parking lot. It would have been more logical for the lifeguard who makes that speech.

This is the most egregiously atrocious piles of rotting compost that I've ever seen! Why did I see it? Mostly because of that damned picture of Kristen Bell in a swimsuit. I saw it on the 12th page of movie titles available on RedBox...(That should have told me something), but I figured it might be one of those diamond in the rough Indie films you can sometimes find there...Boy, was I wrong. If you like movies about burnout losers, pedophiles, and teen suicide this might be your cup of joe, but here's why I hated it:Is Kristin Bell desperate now? Or is she just committing career suicide? Not too sure, but doing a movie where you rape a teenager and do drugs with them doesn't seem to be the way to score a high profile gig. I'm not a prude as far as sexual content or drug use, but this movie just...was too much. She took a few steps back (career wise)in my mind. She also looked terrible in the movie.Truthfully, I didn't make it through the whole movie so I'm not sure how it ended, but it was such a nihilistic, depressing, and overall just sad, mess of a movie up till' the point where I turned it off. I was getting the message of "be your own person, do whatever you have to do to discover yourself blah blah blah." A message that has been done before in so many better ways.The acting was atrocious. It seriously was terrible...Kristen Bell was serviceable, but not good. Her parents and friends in the movie are probably some of the worst actors I've ever seen; I'm not sure I can actually call them actors. Judge for yourself (actually don't this movie sucks), but the people in this movie can not act to save their lives.Technically speaking, everything was decent. The cinematography was cinematic, but nothing mind blowing. Editing was good enough and the pacing was decent. Long story short, this movie sucks. I didn't watch the whole thing so take it with a grain of salt, but the hour and twenty minutes I did watch sucked so badly. Save yourself a buck and an hour and a half of your life you'll never get back. Don't watch this garp.
