A former valedictorian
quits her reporter job in New York and returns to the place she last felt
happy: her childhood home in Connecticut. She gets work as a lifeguard and
starts a dangerous relationship with a troubled teenager.
If you have ever felt lost in life or still do, this movie
will hit home and help us realize that what we want the most in life is fun,
and happiness. Minus the relationship
with a minor this turned out to be a heartwarming movie. As Leigh (Kristen Bell) struggles to find
happiness she learns that even her best friend Mel (Mamie Gummer) although from
a distance her life appears perfect, she too struggles for happiness. They begin to hangout with some misfit
teenagers who have no intentions of graduating and want nothing more than to
get out of the shit hole they live in to escape their problems and begin a new
life. Of course everything goes wrong
and blows up in everyone’s face until they all take a step back and are forced
to find the real. Fantastic performances
by the cast, especially Kristen Bell and Mamie Gummer, whom in my opinion
delivers her best performance yet, but hey, she’s learning from the best so I
her only getting better.
Enjoy the show. 4 out
of 5 life preservers.
