The Lifeguard Starring Kristen Bell

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

I did a search and didn't see anything on it though.

The trailer for writer/director Liz W. Garcia's dramedy The Lifeguard, starring Kristen Bell, has come online and can be viewed in the player below.

In the R-rated film, available on VOD July 30 and in theaters on August 30, Leigh is living a seemingly perfect life in New York. But when her career and love life both come crashing down, she flees to her suburban hometown and regresses right back into high school life. Picking up right where her teen halcyon days left off, she moves into her old room with her parents, hangs out 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 an illicit affair, she begins a chain reaction that affects those closest to her.

I like Kristen so I'll give this a chance. Doesn't seem that bad to me.

Sounds kinda depressing but I do adore Kristen, who's hotter than ever now that she's had a kid and filled out a bit more.

Jesus, turning 30 must be awful like that trailer makes out, I might as well just throw myself off a bridge when I reach 29 so I won't have to deal with all those awful responsibilities of being a grown up.

I guarantee if kids knew what a pain it is to be an adult they wouldn't be in such a hurry to grow up, if I had known what it would be like I would've actually tried in my first go-around in college so I'd be in a better place financially.

When you get that age its expected of you. and if you don't then I guess there's something wrong with you.

[The Great Owl]

I'm 41 years old. Being a grown-up is not so bad. Or so I've heard. I'm in the best physical fitness shape of my life right now, and, while I'm not the most wealthy or successful guy in the world, I'm rolling along day by day with some amount of ease.

Turning 30 did not faze me like it fazes most people. Some of my friends really freaked out when they turned that age. It was just another day for me.

[MikeScott]

I'm dreading turning 30. 28 now.

Huge Kristen fan and I think the movie seems great.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing pretty bad reviews for this when it was at Sundance. I'll see it anyways, but have pretty low expectations.

I don't think getting older is necessarily better or worse. Some things are better and some things... not so much.

Would it be nice to be carefree, have less responsibility and simply live every day in the moment.. Of course!! And I do miss that!

But I'll tell you what! It sure is nice to not live paycheck to paycheck, wonder if I'll have money for gas, struggle to repair my car if it's needs it or buy a new one when necessary. It's nice to travel a little bit and "enjoy" life a little more. Enjoying life just means different things at different ages. The days of 3 day benders in Vegas are pretty much behind me, clubs and late night drunken antics on the beach aren't on the agenda any longer. Those were replaced by traveling to new places and seeing and experiencing life!

I don't mow the lawn because I have to, it's not a chore any longer. It's the equivalent of washing your first car when you were 16. Your proud of it, you want it to look nice... things just change over time.

Actually, I retract the statement I made earlier about it not being better... It IS better once you get a little older. Every once and while I miss the "good old days", but all in all, there are more things that are better, than there are that I miss.

Looking back I would rank my decades like this
Worst - 20's: On my own and responsible for myself but not really making the money to do it. Every day was a little struggle and every month was a close call to pay the bills, go to school, work my job and still have time to myself.

Middle - Teens: Care free, live In the moment, lots of fun but little freedom

Best - 30's: Much more responsibility, but with school behind me, a career instead of a job and my financial situation stabilizing and even become stronger I started to regain my freedom of my teens because although I have much more responsibility, I am in a financial situation to start having fun again, just in a different way.

I think the key to making your later decades the best decades of your life is making good decision in your early decades. Those that freak out as they get into their 30's may be those that didn't make good life decisions early on. And if that's the case, make good decisions now and you could still have your best decades in front of you.

For me, it's the little things, and I never take those for granted.

A few months ago, I stayed up late one night, and I drove down the street to a convenience store for a soda and candy bar. It occurred to me that I was not a kid anymore, and that, instead of being told not to eat junk food and to go to bed early, I was buying a candy bar from a convenience store at 3:00 in the morning. I'm living the dream!

One summer when I was 34, I had like 3 cans of Coke and endless amounts of Doritos! If my parents ever found that out, I would be probably grounded for like life!!! Craziness!

[cinemaphile]

the movie itself doesn't interest me at all, but I'll give it a shot just for Kristen... even if it is dreary, depressing Kristen.

Also happy to see Martin Starr in another flick.

as a 40 year-old man-child, let me just say: 30 year-olds, stop your whining!

Yeah they weren't great, but I dig movies like this and it looks very good, IMO. Bell is the main selling point for me though.

It got okay reviews, but I have read she shows her nice butt in one scene...so there's that!

[Veronica Mars]

Kristen wearing a swimsuit (or less) for 99 minutes!!! A Kristen Bell movie getting good...ok, mediocre reviews? A movie with KB that's not on the level of Hit & Run? I'm all over this, but why did they need to release this on Vudu on a Monday and tempt me so??? We'll definitely rent this over the weekend...which is when they should have waited to offer it. I keep clicking on my Vudu account to check out that shot of KB in the red one piece and I can't concentrate on anything else right now.

Maybe with VM she'll finally take the next step, from bad (everything she's starred in since FSM) to mediocre (this film) to very good.

[MrBlonde]

Kristin's movie career saddens me. I hope this is good.
