Review of The Lifeguard

The Lifeguard (2013)
2/10
Painful waster of time.

Warning: Spoilers
Boring and disjointed. Why is this sometimes billed as a comedy? My guess is because the makers knew it sucked, but figured OK Kristin Bell, maybe we can leverage goodwill from folks who like Saving Sarah Marshall and con them into seeing it. Uneven tone, tries periodically to be quirky. You won't care about or believe these characters. The scene where she stands up to the police because they are harassing the teens for skating is one of the most hackneyed things put to film in the last 10 years.

Spoiler alert: this movie stinks on ice, but it will put you to sleep faster than a sominex chased with some NyQuil.
