Kristen Bell is a 29-year old AP reporter who is really angsty over her life so she quits her job, moves back home with her parents, takes her old high school job as a lifeguard and screws a local teenager to figure everything out. This movie hits all the indie checkboxes - Disproportionate number of characters smoke? Check. Smoking plays a role in multiple scenes? Check. Angsty characters who are all angsty for no apparent reason? Check. The only semi-stable adults portrayed as being the bad characters because they're not dope-smoking idiots banging teenagers? Check. Angsty guitar folk hipster soundtrack? Check. This movie is just a mess with Bell's character being just...unlikeable. Ugh. 4/10.
