Summer of 42?
The good news is this film cannot be placed in one of the common genres.The directing was good, the scenes gave depth such as the vacant pool shot from a low height and the close ups of the characters inspired an emotional response.
The acting seemed appropriate to the story, the story did not connect with me so the acting seemed just adequate and not great by any of the characters
I saw several previous films combined in The Lifeguard. Summer of 42 for the coming of age element. The Year of Living Dangerously for tiger in the apartment. And her bus trip to and from NYC was reminiscent of many ‘you can’t go back’ movies.
Her parents reminded me of the televangelist fans in Repo Man.
Overall I usually defend Kristen Bell and her acting was okay but was this the right movie for her?
Works if you’ve had a similar life experience
It’s easy to see why not everyone loves this film. It’s just not all that funny. Or exciting. Or inspiring. Worst of all, it doesn’t leave you with any sense of accomplishment or insight.It works, however, if you can relate to this movie as an adult who has ever gone through a period of your life where you just wanted to go back to a simpler time.
I was able to relate in particular because like Leigh in the movie I actually went back to being a lifeguard in my 20s after graduating from college and not really knowing what to do with myself. And like Leigh, things didn’t really work out entirely as I planned them to. Was it a good move? I’m a happy I did it? Did I learn anything from it? Hard to say really.
Similarly you’re not going to find a lot of definitive answers in this movie as to whether the heroine makes choices that are right or wrong. But if you’ve had a similar experience – you’ll feel like she’s a friend.
