Malibu Rescue: The Next Wave

Target audience is moreso tween/early teen girls. Lots of really predictable cliché moments: 'boy gets girl', "we'll save the day", "arrogant male antagonist" and so on. Very cringey Australian references- why are Australians always represented so strangely in American movies? No one actually makes so many strange references to Australian animals in conversation except in misrepresented American movies. Even the Character names-Shazza, Wayno..I mean seriously.

Absolutely great perfect for people from four to sixteen.

An improvement on the original, which is unexpected.

I noted in my review of 2019's 'Malibu Rescue' that I probably wouldn't bother watching the television series in between - I actually did. It's still not good, but that too bettered the first film. I'd say 'Malibu Rescue: The Next Wave' is superior to both, so the series as a whole is on an - admittedly slow - upward trajectory.

Listen, it still isn't something I enjoyed. It has undeniable issues, but I honestly don't dislike it either. The cast are pleasant, if not necessarily good. They work well together. Alkoya Brunson is the standout, but they all bounce off each other in truth. I approve of them bringing that Jeffy (Michael Mourra) kid back, they create fairly funny gags with him in the films - could possibly do with him in the show?

It's made for a specific demographic and, I guess, works in that respect. They could definitely do better though, to make it a fun film to watch for more viewers. Intrigued to see if this gets renewed further, I assume it will.

It isnt as good as the first movie and series but it's a nice family watch. U can watch this with your family and have a good time.

I feel this franchise is harshly rated on IMDb And people shouldn't expect this to be like bay watch or something cause that's a very high budget movie with a big cast. So please stop being so harsh on these kids as they have done a really really good job making these.

The movie was funny and refreshing. I loved the summer school scenes.
