Leigh (Bell) is 29 years old and dissatisfied with her job as a journalist in NYC. She moves back to her parents in Connecticut, gets her high school lifeguard job back and hangs with two ex-classmates and a gang of teenaged skateboarding guys.
Even this description is boring. The film is boring. Kristen Bell is good but I just want it to end. A few moments of drama work well, though, so it’s not a total loss.
