AUDIENCE SCORE
User Ratings: 6,040
Rating: 1.5/4 -- The movie's being billed in some quarters as a comedy, which is a hell of a stretch given that the plot expands to take in statutory rape and teen suicide. Full Review
Boston Globe
Aug 29, 2013
Rating: 1/4 -- The central character simply comes across as whiny and entitled instead of troubled and dark, and the central theme of getting your groove back by acting like a kid again has been done many times by much more talented filmmakers. Full Review

The Lifeguard is not groundbreaking cinema or a heavy-handed story, but it succeeds in showcasing great performances from its actors. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- "The Lifeguard" is hemmed in by vagueness and cliche, and nearly ruined by its soundtrack, an insistent barrage of thematically obvious alt-radio music cues. Full Review

Rating: C -- With apologies to Thomas Wolfe, you can go home again; The Lifeguard just proves that sometimes it's not the best course of action. Full Review

Aug 30, 2013
Rating: 3/5 -- Although writer-director Liz W. Garcia's wistful, angsty tale treads familiar ground, the filmmaker has crafted a credibly flawed and conflicted heroine who holds interest. Full Review
Los Angeles Times
Aug 30, 2013
Rating: 2/5 -- This directorial debut by Liz W. Garcia, a writer for television, bears some echoes of its creator's origins, going from deft to trite in its drama and setting up character arcs that feel sappily resolved within its feature length. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Leigh (Kristen Bell) is almost thirty and living a perfect life in New York. But when her career and love life both come crashing down, she runs away to her suburban hometown and falls right back into teenage life and behavior. She moves into her old room with her parents, hangs around with friends who never left town and reclaims her high school job as a condo-complex lifeguard. But as Leigh enjoys shirking off adult life and responsibilities and enters into a forbidden affair, she starts a chain reaction that affects those closest to her.
