Malibu Rescue

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!

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.

This show is awesome. It is well written, very funny, and a quality show that is Rarely produced these days. The cast has great synergy. Highly recommend.

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

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.
