Malibu Rescue

Not actually terrible. That's not to say it's anything close to good, but it did surprise me ever so slightly; especially after an extremely ropy first 5-10 minutes.

Ricardo Hurtado (Tyler) is OK as the film's lead, while Alkoya Brunson (Eric) has most of the somewhat amusing moments. The premise is watchable, though only after the awful initial school scenes that made me fear the worst. Once they reach Malibu everything does move in the correct direction - still with some major issues, of course.

There's also a running gag throughout featuring Michael Mourra (Jeffy), which is mildly funny; he's used for the predictable interludes, but it is done in a way that is kinda different. I appreciate that.

Great call making 'Malibu Rescue' run for just 69mins, any longer would have deteriorated my rating massively. I see this has also turned into a television series, I'm not sure I could put up with it for 8 episodes; though I'll probably return when the sequel film is released.

Man, I'm so tired of uppity antagonist ALWAYS being Caucasian male. Its so social media programing.

One very odd thing about this formula is that it means most movies employ more C. males than other races, because the 'bad guy' is always C male, while the 'good guys' are usually a selection from each race.

Some of the modern TV series are starting to insert various races into the antagonist character, (more acting jobs for the minority races)

There were some running gags in this that made it funny, but for me the constant pounding of the Evil C. male eventually had me turning it off about half way through.

Super cute and fun! Perfect summer movie, whole hearted with good jokes. Made me smile!

I watched this movie, and I can't wait for the series. This is great for kids of all ages. There is absolutely no profanity, it's family friendly, and a fun show to watch. This is not a show for an adult want to be kid, so stop bashing our kid shows you childish adults. I'm glad to see some of our kids promoting positive values, and being good role models that our young people can follow. Parents if you're looking for a show that your kids can watch and get a good clean laugh from good clean jokes then Malibu Rescue is the show, and Series to watch. This is like a Baywatch for KIDS!!!

Although it is not the most ambitious film in history, it does fulfill its goal of entertaining.
