This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The acting in this movie is really good.

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.

The Life Guard is about cages, cages built by social restriction and physical restrictions. At the beginning of the film the main character Leigh (who is a journalist) investigates and writes a story about a tiger that was imprisoned and neglected in a small NY apartment. The story of the captive tiger is a parable for all of the struggles the characters face throughout the film. Leigh struggles with her emotional and physical needs and is shackled by the expectations of society that is slowly starving her passions and sense of humanity. Leighs friends all have basic instinctual human needs that are going unmet because of social pressures or restrictions from others around them. The character who most mirrors the tiger is Matt (Little Jason's friend), the dream of Vermont is a dream of escaping his particular cage.

Leigh London (Kristen Bell) is 29 and ten months old. She's a reporter in NYC. She feels lost and moves back in with her parents (Amy Madigan). She reconnects with her school friends Mel (Mamie Gummer) and Todd (Martin Starr). Mel is the high school vice-principal and struggling to get pregnant. Todd is still in the closet. Leigh gets her old lifeguard job at the pool. She befriends pool maintenance guy's teenage son Little Jason (David Lambert) and they become more.I really love Mamie Gummer and her struggles. I like Martin Starr also and his story could be expanded. Kristen Bell's story is probably the least interesting of the three. I still like her but it's not like she's having a grand romance. It would be better to have more time with Gummer and Starr. It takes too long having sexy time with Bell and Lambert. I didn't think it was that type of movie. There is also the character Matt. He is a big part of the ending. He should have been a much bigger part of the story. The movie should spends more time with him than the little section with Todd. He should be a bigger character. Both Matt and Little Jason are not particularly compelling. I love the three main actors but this isn't quite special enough.

i watched this movie on youtube a few weeks ago. (sorry but they removed it already!)i thought this movie was romcom.. i was wrong.. this movie is really depressing.. why? because.. # its boring # its glamorizing pedophilia # and its boring -- i almost skipped some scenes.. the only good part from this movie is towards the end. its tragic.. and the ending.. when you thought its going to be a happy ending.. crap.. so depressing that i wanted to punch STEWART on the face..-its a realistic film with a realistic ending.. a movie so real its so boring.. maybe because of some unnecessary scenes and occasional dull dialogs. so thats it.. my first review.. so dull i wish i shouldn't have written this down..#hehe
