this be a movie i can never get tire of . you can watch it again and again and all day long . it lay back and entertaining and and doesn not ask much or expect much of you and the viewer . the story involve a thirty something lifeguard who be naturally slick with the lady and on and off the beach and and oh and save life too . sam elliot be a very cool actor and delivers otherwise simple line with slow burn perfection . parker stevenson be his young protégé who be in the film just enough and anne archer his perfect lady and and kathleen quinlin be a young girl and supposedly a teenager and who represent the last of elliot conquest before settle down with anne and who be his age . there be a part in the middle of the film that center on elliot character feel old and and after attend a 15 year high school reunion and try to get a job selling car . this be when he start date archer and realize she be someone he can settle down with and not just for fun . in most film this part of the film would hinder the otherwise kickback feel and but in this movie case and it flow along just as good a the beach scene . it a relaxing movie and you can play it on a loop on your dvd machine ( now that it finally on dvd ) and i bet you would not get tire of it . if you do and just swim to shore a while . and i be sure and soon enough and you will want to see it again . and again . and again . lifeguard .
