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!!!
Really good watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend.
(Was excited to see there is a sequel)
A "troupe of misfits", "coming of age" story that is very well produced. Disney likes to push the "throw enough money at it" concept, but a good movie / show / franchise doesn't come together without a good cast that works well together. This movie has a fun cast that really embodies their characters.
Overall humor is good, but it's about a California beach for privileged people, so you can only do so much with it. They specifically had to use a group of characters that "don't belong there", and that's all based on a California inside joke of the "valley" now being a place where poor (average) people live.
A movie where "ha ha, you don't even have a butler" could be a conceivable joke is never going to be great unless that is the entire focal point of the movie ("Would You Rather", "Knives Out", "Paradise Falls"), and even then it needs both unique and great itself.
This might be great for younger audiences, but most adults are likely to go, "Sure, that was good" and then never think about it again.

People are reviewing this movie as if it's a documentary or a movie for adults. Neither are the case. I will make this pretty simple, if you liked the old Nickelodeon movies such as Snow Day, then you'll like this. It's funny and stays away from the political agenda non-sense in a lot of netflix movies today. This is FAR from the worst thing on netflix. If you're looking for a comedy intended for KIDS, and enjoy the old NIckelodeon movies, then you'll enjoy this.
Look, this isn't "Schindler's List." Don't expect cinematic, dramatic grandeur; this is light, sunny and sandy family-friendly fare that thoroughly thrilled our young ones and kept the adults sufficiently amused. Sometimes, especially as the weather warms for the summer months, that's really all any of us need.
If you can accept it as that, without expecting more from it than what it is, you will enjoy it.
Also enjoyable: seeing Steve Sanders back on the beach, especially those of Malibu, just like in those "Beverly Hills: 90210" days. Ziering plays the role well and feels like such a natural by the water. Watch it if for Ziering alone!

Surprised to see so many negative reviews, granted this is no Avenger series or even a Wonder Woman. Neither does this movie pretend to be one, it's a straight up feel good movie and that's what it succeeds in doing.
Dont go with a high expectations and you won't be disappointed
