Malibu Beach

4.3 / 10 · TMDB

Day or night, it's a hot and wild summer at Malibu Beach. When the sun is high, it's Dina's job to patrol the area. Being the hot new lifeguard on duty isn't as easy as you'd think -- there's the older, muscle-bound beach idiot Dugan continually lusting after her, while jerk kids fake drowning just to get her to save them. And who can forget that pesky bikini-stealing dog?!?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a simple beach comedy, relying entirely on familiar archetypes and low-stakes situational humor. It explores the sun-soaked chaos of a lifeguard's day without aiming for narrative depth.

Those who tire of sophisticated plots may find charm in its unapologetic silliness. What lingers after the credits is a vague sense of sandy, carefree nostalgia. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Robert J. Rosenthal
