Malibu Rescue

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

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.

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

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!

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.
