I’m actually a bit surprised that Kristen Bell hasn’t become a bigger star by now. sometimes it’s all about getting that one performances that really shows folks what you can do. THE LIFEGUARD may be a step in the right direction, and perhaps the perfect lead in to the VERONICA MARS movie she’s currently filming. Check out the trailer (courtesy of Apple) below and see what you think. It’s written and directed by Liz W. Garcia, and stars (of course) Kristen Bell, Mamie Gummer, Martin Starr, David Lambert, Joshua Harto and Amy Madigan. Take a look below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Leigh (Kristen Bell) is almost 30, and living a seemingly perfect life in New York. But when her career and love life both come crashing down, she flees to her suburban hometown and regresses right back into teenage life and behavior. She moves into her old room with her parents, hangs around with friends who never left town, and reclaims her high school job as a condo-complex lifeguard. But as Leigh enjoys shirking adult life and responsibilities and enters into an illicit affair, she begins a chain reaction that affects those closest to her. With an all-star cast that also includes Martin Starr (“Party Down,” “Knocked Up”), Mamie Gummer (“Side Effects”) and Oscar nominee Amy Madigan, it’s a journey that’s both hilarious and heartfelt. Presented by Screen Media Films & Focus World, the alternative distribution of Focus Features.

THE LIFEGUARD opens August 30th, 2013
