A completely forgettable comedy that has some good chemistry and a few chuckles, but a weak script. As a one time watch you can go along for the ride but unless you're a huge Rock fan or Zac Efron fan you won't feel compelled to revisit it. C

A truly terrible movie, but an enjoyable one. Whilst the story makes no sense on so many levels, it is almost pointless to delve in to as the film knows its place as a huge mesh of stupidity. Baywatch is so bad it's entertaining.

While the movie is self-aware of this, it even failed to land some of the comedy that should’ve the center point of the whole movie. Meaning that there are certain jokes that didn’t land and they just kept going which made me even role my eyes. When a comedies jokes don’t land and go on too long it’s a sign that the movie is becoming more dumb than fun. The comedy shouldn’t have annoyed me, meaning that bad jokes just went on for too long or didn’t lead to better jokes. While the movie is self-aware, and kind of fun, it fails on a comedic level that makes movies like this enjoyable for audiences who will see this movie. Some people might find the raunchy comedy really funny if that’s what they like, but if you, in general, like comedies you might not be laughing as much as you thought you would be during this movie.

Slightly entertaining, thoroughly horrendous, juvenile, and cliche riddled; a teenage boy's fantasy. The story is garbage and the acting is just as bad. If Dwayne Johnson wasn't Dwayne Johnson this would have been career suicide

The special effects are some of the worst I've seen for a movie of this calibre, and don't get me started on some of the performances. The performances from some of the actors are so bad that the characters are really unlikable. Priyanka Chopra gets the worst actor award for this one. Dwayne Johnson is the only redeemable thing about this movie, and he doesn't even put in his best performance. Expand

Despite having a decent cast, the writing in Baywatch makes great actors like Dwayne Johnson and Alexandra Daddario look like amateurs. The plot and story is also extremely poorly written.

"Baywatch" é um filme regular, onde o seu regresso não foi tão triunfante. As performances são razoáveis, o enredo é um pouco absurdo e só concluio que o ator Zac Efron só se safa em filmes de coméda com piadas indelicadas e ignorantes.

Essentially it tries to do for Baywatch what Phil Lord and Chris Miller did for 21 Jump Street. It's stupid, nonsensical, and unnecessarily vulgar. All things I'm usually okay with provided the movie is funny. Baywatch just isn't really. TheEssentially it tries to do for Baywatch what Phil Lord and Chris Miller did for 21 Jump Street. It's stupid, nonsensical, and unnecessarily vulgar. All things I'm usually okay with provided the movie is funny. Baywatch just isn't really. The movie at it's best when it's reveling in it's own absurdity. Something it isn't able to do all that much of as it never gets as goofy or over-the-top as it needs to. The majority of jokes here are of the same variety you'll find in any other modern R-rated comedy these days. The difference is here they feel flatly delivered despite Efron and Johnson giving it their all. There are a few chuckles, but not enough to make this stand out from the pack.

The plot is a whole bunch of nothing. It makes no sense, but to be honest it didn't really need to. It just needed to give it's cast reason to do a bunch of stupid stuff. It serves that purpose and not much else. The sense of self-awareness Baywatch has about itself feels underserved. You can't really be in on your own ridiculousness when you aren't that ridiculous after all. When it isn't cracking lame jokes or moving it's bland plot forward with some really boring investgations, the film is all about glorifying beautiful bodies. There's some eye candy here for both the guys and the gals. It's ultimately not a very sexy movie, but if you're really young to the point where you really shouldn't be watching this in the first place, then there might be some excitement here. The rest of us will just sort of not really care.

Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron are just as likable as ever. The movie? Not so much. It never gets as silly as it needed to be. The results are pretty bland as a result. There are plenty of better comedies out there that play more to the strengths of the two leads. I mean Baywatch isn't exactly awful, but it's not good either. If you want to see sexy bodies and hear some dick jokes there are plenty of better alternatives out there that will give you your fix. Or you can just actually go to the beach with your dumb frat buddies. Let this one get lost at sea.

Just about everybody is phoning it in, except for Jon Bass who is quite funny as Ronnie.
I give it 1 point for Ronnie and 1 point for the few jokes that worked. Otherwise one of the worst films I've ever seen.

What bothers me most and whatThis movie brings the cliche plot from the series, as their original actors. The film has no commitment to be serious, having a good mood used in the films 21 Jump Street and Deadpool, which pleased me a lot. What bothers me most and what bothers in each group movie is that one member was not as important as the others. If it's a team movie, everyone should have a good time and importance, right? The villain is a good actress, but for the film, I found it a bit weak, and could have a lot more potential.

To conclude, the movie is a reason for you to go to a movie theater with friends and have a good laugh and not see it with the intention of analyzing it as if they were Angels and Demons or The Journey, since it was made to fun. Before seeing any criticism of a "specialized website" go yourself and draw your own conclusions, since that is what I do.

When lifeguards turned homicides!

In the 90s, when the original television series was aired, I was just a kid. Then it was too sexy, that I was not allowed to watch. The world has changed so much all these years. I always wanted to see that, but never had a chance. Now a film, possibly a new franchise if it all goes well. There were lots of expectations on it, but the film did not deliver that. Yet they have already announced a sequel.

The bay security team is now recruiting new members. Three joins as the trainee after the tryout. Within a few days, a couple of suspicious deaths happen in the bay. The cops are not worried to solve it, but the Baywatch team jumps in and starts their own investigation. That leads them to a dangerous territory. From there, how they deal with it was revealed with some action-thriller.

Pumped up body, starring alongside a current top star, nothing is working for Zac Efron. He's just an accidental actor, won't survive long, unless he turns it all his way like Ben Afflect did. On the other hand, Dwayne was awesome. All the other actors too. Priyanka was not ideal for such role. Because an Indian in a negative role for an American film, nah, it does not work. India keeps all the thugs and sends only engineers, doctors, scientist et cetera to the foreign lands. A Chinese or a Russian villain works better.

No suspense. Everything was open from the beginning itself. Some of the comedies were good, but some were most absurd. Especially, I did not like the storyline. The Bay security force not doing their job, but police work. It goes completely out of the frame. It's okay doing same within their enclosure, but the film entered beyond that. Thus, the film missed to cover the beach events as what the title had promised. I hope the sequel would fall in line.

In that department - the only one where it should have delivered - it didn't. The humor was on par with American Pie, save for a few wisecracks about how the lifeguards in the original series went above and beyond their job description.
I'm not sure who thought Baywatch needed a racist black cop. Is that a mandatory quota to fill in Hollywood comedies nowadays? Our good friend The Rock also made it quite clear that only the best of the best were eligible to join the Baywatch team - not even Olympic gold medal swimmers are good enough, unless they prove themselves.
Which is why this elite team proceeded to hire more weak females, that could not pull a drowning pet turtle out of an aquarium, and an overweight guy, whose only talent was getting boners in front of crowds, because "he has heart."
Now, I don't know about you, but I'd just love to drown knowing that the man who was in charge of helping me had so much heart, he died of a heart attack when attempting to reach the water.
Personally, I'm not a Baywatch fan, but the entire premise of this film is so inconsistent with the source material, let alone its own claims, that I couldn't just sit back and enjoy it.
In summary, utterly mediocre, and still somehow manages to insult the viewer at the same time.

Something is happening with the creative minds of Paramount Pictures

The cohort of people belonging Generation Z, hidden in their homes from litigant summer sun, was "lucky" of witnessing the transmission of a series focused on the adventures—independent in each episode—of the lifeguards of a beachfront city in western Los Angeles County, California, which was on-air a laughable period equivalent to a decade. The main promoter and only beneficiary of real fame thanks to the show—relegating, of course, the sexual symbol in which Pamela Anderson became—, was David Hasselhoff, who created a ridiculous and superfluous succession of feature films and spin-offs in order to keep afloat a TV series that since its beginnings were buried in the mess of simplicity and silliness. A few years later, definitive cessation of audiovisual products on the lifeguard group was declared, however, the satisfaction did not last forever by informing, shortly thereafter, that a powerful Hollywood producer would take to the big screen the underworld of the bay with much younger faces, muscles, and buttocks. It is today when it premieres its homonymous cinematographic idea, a kind of hybrid between 21st- century comical vices and analogies of vacuous modern blockbusters of the forebear decade.

Having as a main culprit the inordinate budget Paramount Pictures bestowed director Seth Gordon—I don't understand why, but it was really surprising to me watching Andy Garcia and Eli Roth as producers on screen—, the film manages to leave, momentarily, the superficiality of robust, suntanned and perfect bodies to tell a joke of criminal story about drug trafficking, which employs a spoof of contemporary action movies while trying to keep a bearable aura by comical gags (moderately funny), ending in a high-calorie recipe, the equivalent of a super comedy production brought to disappointing levels. At present, there are noteworthy works which were released on similar dates and that had the same tone, the difference is that they had solid ideas from its origin, a quick and timely sample: "Spy" by Paul Feig.

They are giving hints of the jolly and trivial tone from the very start, that will prevail in the story with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson emerging victorious from the water with a bather in his arms and the film logo, with emphatic pride, as a backdrop, adding dolphins gambolling—perhaps lacking oxygen among such megalomania—out of the water. I must confess I felt an intense good foreboding in the kind of initial video clip, nevertheless, it fell apart as soon as I watched that the first two names in the opening credits are masculine, explicit significant that some actresses are merely eye- candy, in the same way, the detail of the dolphins provoked that, almost automatically, I took my hand to my head, a disappointing posture lasting at least the half of the extensive almost hundred and twenty minutes. It should be pointed out that this action had a brief lapse of laughter, but, they were so provisional, that I don't remember the causes.

The storyline is as bad as if it were an episode of the series they forgot to transmit on TV. Matt Buchanan (Dwayne Johnson) and his pair of stunning workmates oversee a competition to find new and suitable members of the Emerald Bay life-saving squadron. In parallel, the corresponding subplot is unfolded about a network of criminals who use the beach as a camouflage for narcotics trafficking, with multimillionaire Victoria Leeds (Priyanka Chopra) as the key ringleader. The story honors its source by flaunting big men and voluptuous women in extra small bikinis stammering cheeky jokes.

Neither inherent vis comica of "The Rock", Efron nor rising star Alexandra Daddario manages to consolidate an unambiguous definition for this work from the beginning, and although some of the humorous circumstances, especially those expressed graphically, are quite jolly and acerbic, the lax direction by Gordon, regrettable screenplay by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, some word-for-word absurd special effects, raccord detectable mistakes, and the way in which ideas are let out, cause the film to finish as an adolescent, summer, rated-R film prospect with one of the most valued acting teams today, an enviable budget and an audiovisual result, fatally drowned.

Not huge fans of either actor, but I've been fairly impressed with their comedies in the past. I was really hoping the movie would turn out like 21 Jump Street, but it didn't even come close. Overall The Rock and Zac Efron had pretty good chemistry together, but they definitely could have been utilized more. Priyanka Chopra did a pretty good job as the villain, but outside of these things the movie was fairly awful. The other characters in the movie were one dimensional and just felt more like props than anything else. They didn't really spend any time going into their back stories except for quick one liners to justify a character's knowledge or deliver a bad joke. Some of the scenes in the movie also seemed unnecessary or lacked content. A good example from the trailer is the scene where Zac Efron is wearing the dress. The scene starts, Mitch/The Rock makes fun of him, they find what they are looking for and then the scene ends. No one stops to stare at him, nor does it result in them getting caught, all it did was stress that his character was stupid, which had been confirmed multiple times prior to that scene. Scenes like this happened frequently throughout the movie. A scene that appears to set up for something that will probably be hilarious and then nothing happens. TL;DR Skip the movie. Not enough humor to make the ticket price worth it. If Hollywood was banking on people showing up because of women in swimsuits and bikinis, clearly they are not aware of the internet. Expand

Bad jokes, predictable ending, and extremely cringy. If not for the cleavages and the appearance of the amazing looking actresses, people would not have watched this at all. Go watch it with a group of friends so you could complain this with them.

Characters are introduced, but there's no reason to care. Matt Brody (Zac Efron) is the single good character; his journey - of being gifted, winning it all, losing it all, then mounting his personal comeback - was the best aspect of the film. The film improves when it goes all cops-and-robbers / CSI / Magnum PI in the second half, but there's not enough tension to make it dramatic, and not enough jokes land for it to be funny.
4/10 for the lovely ladies and Zac Efron's physique, but otherwise pass on it.

Now that we have a full fleshed-out movie...How can i describe it? It's just 'Random things happening everywhere',altough i enjoyed it a bit. Since Dwayne Johnson's everywhere,in here,looks like it tries to make the audience laugh,but most of the gags and the 'vulgar' comedy was idiotic,but i rarely found myself chuckling in some of these scenes. The visual effects in this movie were the worst part of this movie,because they looked like they came out from a low-budget TV Spot. The story was predictable,altough in every scene there were (as i said) random things happening everywhere,that made this movie look nonsensical. Again,it's stupid,but it wants to,since most remakes or adaptations fail to recapture what made the original so good. And Baywatch is an example of it. Maybe it's a bit better if you bring sun protecion at the movie theatre... Expand

I love TV series in general but somehow have never really delved into the legendary „Baywatch“ (1989-1999), starring David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson and other megababes of the time. At its peak times, it was followed by over billionI love TV series in general but somehow have never really delved into the legendary „Baywatch“ (1989-1999), starring David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson and other megababes of the time. At its peak times, it was followed by over billion viewers!
Whatever qualities the original „action drama“ series must have relied on, the movie is very different aquatic mammal altogether. 65% of the original’s audience were women but the remake is clearly a raunchy mainstream comedy for guys.
There’s a recent successful example of how to serve cheesy old TV hit to modern cinema audience – 2012’s „21 Jump Street“ starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill –, so the new „Baywatch“ goes down the same road, only with less hilarious or fresh results.
The movie is watchable enough for the first two thirds or so, when it’s mostly about beach, good-looking people and dirty jokes. All this is, sadly, followed by switching to action mode, which makes nonsensical events less bearable and more forgettable – and doesn’t offer much thrills for compensation.
Perhaps surprisingly for boys’ comedy, „Baywatch“ concentrates on its stars Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron, so the cute girls are relegated to the sidelines, even the Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra.
But this may have been a conscious choice of those who gave the movie its final form in post-production, because Rock & Zac have way more charisma than anybody else here. Which may be the fault of mediocre material (they couldn’t even make good use of obligatory guest appearances by Hoff and Pam!)
So, it’s passable entertainment for modern raunchy comedies crowd – but not really a recommend-worthy for anybody, even for its target audience.
Still, there’s something likable and winning about Johnson, although most of the movies starring him are mediocre at best. And Efron’s cool too, beefed-up muscles and good looking stupid guy roles fit him extremely well.

"on" a décidé ici de se surpasser et de faire péter tous les records au débilemètre. C'est à un tel point qu'on a très vite l'impression de regarder un "Scary Movie" ou autre caricature grotesque à petit budget qui se fout ouvertement de la gueule des grosses productions et licences hollymerdiennes.

Bref, l'humour à la "American Pie" est de sortie avec par exemple un gros geek qui passe trop sa vie sur Steam (le fiston du gros Gabe sans doute) et qui se coince la bite dans un transat : l'équipe intervient donc immédiatement... Cela étant, il finit tout de même dans l'équipe des sauveteurs pour satisfaire l'agenda SJW (social justice warriors).

Evidemment, la tête de gogol et de gondole vient jouer de ses pectoraux à l'EPO, l'ex-catcheur Johnson qui serait tellement mieux à sa place dans une pub pour Canard vécés avec ses Ray-Ban sur la bouteille : on tient là le successeur de Monsieur Propre.

Mais ce n'est pas le pire -quoique... y a photo à l'arrivée- car le bellâtre est de sortie (pas de Baychiasse sans bellâtre, foutredieu !) en la "personne" de Zac Etron -un nom prédestiné qu'il a fait changer in extremis. Zac a pris des produits lui aussi -une putain de pharmacie ambulante- et exhibe fièrement ses tablettes de chocolat à faire mourir de honte Léonidas. Il a naturellement l'intelligence d'une huître et franchement c'est pas gentil pour les huîtres de dire ça : j'ai connu des huîtres qui jouaient aux échecs.

Enfin, évidemment, on a tout un lot de bombasses, nichons bringuebalant et épilages de maillot à... quoi, on ne veut pas le savoir. La caméra s'attarde en passant sur ces jolis culs mais pas trop quand même ("on" ne voudrait pas que ça vire NC-17). Quant à leur QI, il est dans les nichons.

Le scénario (?!) et les dialogues (!!) en sont presque drôles à l'insu de leur totale ignorance, car on a beau chercher mais tout demeure au très premier degré dans cette chienlit de demeurés, de quoi faire passer la série originale pour du Proust ou du Kant.

On regarde, hypnotisé (car la connerie est hypnotique) puis on sort de sa torpeur au bout d'une heure en se disant qu'on approche du générique... mais non mon gars, il reste encore une putain d'heure à subir !

Avant de vomir comme Zac le bellâtre, le bien nommé "rapido vomito" (sic !), on arrête de chier et on tire vite la chasse.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think everybody knew before the movie was even released that this movie was going to suck, and it did. The movie did poor character development and was filled with clichés:
Nerdy guy gets hot chick => check

If someone runs it's in slow motion => Check

Good guys win => Check

Fired guy gets hired again => check

The list goes on. And about the movie, what Zac Efron said in the movie 'This is for the cops and not lifeguards', I couldn't agree more. They are "cracking" a case while they are lifeguards. Leave it to the cops and get lifeguarding.
Oke yeah, i liked the actresses (and maybe actors as well, but not so much as the actresses)

Just watch if you're absolutely bored or feeling fine with cringing, and at worst you'll know of the existence of an angel named Kelly Rohrbach. And there's Alexandra Daddario of True Detective fame, so there's that.
A special mention to the freaking beta male cuck that Donnie - please don't ever misguide yourself into thinking any self-respecting, let alone hot-ass babe, would ever want to end up with him unless she's a sadist or has a death-wish by boredom.

It involves dozens of unnecessary cuts, its soundtrack changes from one mediocre frat boys party anthem to another, and I am not even going to mention the continuity issues which, of course, are a sin which permeate most films, even great ones. But here they are too many and too obvious.

There definitely is a deep message about teamwork, dedication and overall life lessons in this film, but unfortunately is hidden deep under its poor execution. To be more specific, the biggest issue here is the characters, which are written with cliche personalities like your devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (Dwayne Johnson), hot-shot Olympic pretty-boy Matt Brody (Zac Efron), nerdy tech savvy awkward teenager Ronnie Greenbaum (Jon Bass) and your pretty girls Stephanie, CJ and Summer (Ilfenesh Hadera, Kelly Rohrbach and Alexandra Daddario). But it does not stop here. It feels as if the film misses the way it wants you to report to each characters. While Brody is supposed to be the black sheep of the group, he often seems as a voice of reason, being the only one mentioning calling the police when Baywatch's own Scooby-Doo gang wants to save an again clichee white collar criminal plot led by an again clichee seductive and dangerous corporate woman, Victoria Leeds (Priyanka Chopra). Also, you cannot help but feel that Mitch's ridiculous ambitious dedication and his machismo bravado make him feel like a psychologically scarred vigilante going beyond his reach to protect the beach, kinda like a Batman only... without the cool gadgets and brooding personality. Not to even mention the montage scene in which, after he gets fired, works at an electronics store. It is cringe worthy and laughable... just like his too numerous heroic acts of life-saving which get tiring quickly.

There is a good part though, which this film nails really well. That is the references to the original Baywatch series. It seems that Gordon understands that the heart and soul of these references are more important than their number. There are like-able cameos by David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson and nice parodies to the infamous slow motion scenes. Unfortunately there are also many jokes which are simply misses due to poor execution and worse, they are often prolonged, like when Ronnie stuck his genitals between two wooden planks of a sunbed and also the overall lame writing of Leeds' only two mobsters. Seriously, you thought she would have like a whole mob.

Overall, 'Baywatch' does not make an effort into complicating itself. Yet it also fails in coordinating its simple plot to the point in which discontinuity becomes part of the plot continuity! Like the scene in which Brody is held hostage by Leeds but he escapes through 'clever' editing and a firework display caused by Ronnie when he saw a 'big red button' as he immediately proceeded to... flip the switch right next to it. I really wanted to like this film. I could get over the cliche characters and linear plot, but not over the inability to manage its simplicity.

This movie totally blew the hilarity that it contains! The comedy and sense of humor is definitely funny and sometimes unique.. sometimes unique in a very bad way!
This movie contains a lot of sh*tty things!
The script was not powerful, and it was sometimes overreacting and bothering.
Most of the characters were very poor and not talented.. like Kelly Rohrbach as C.J. Parker, Jon Bass as Ronnie and Ilfenesh Hadera as Stephanie Holden. The performance of these characters was poor, and gave the movie a really bad spirit!
The jokes about the slow motion were the worst of the movie.
The way they overreacted about saving the bay was..... OVERREACTED!!!!
The graphic-ed scenes were super-bad!
The slow motion scenes were unneeded and annoying!!!!
Matt Brody is good alone and very talented, but with the contest between him and Mitch Buchannon he did nothing but making him a joke... And he did more when he was alone.. how come!!!!
The vomit is green.. LOL!!
The sexual content worked with me very well.
Most of the time, the sense of humor is great.
I loved the performance of Dwayne Johnson as Mitch Buchannon, Zac Efron as Matt Brody, Alexandra Daddario as Summer and Priyanka Chopra as Victoria Leeds.
So as a result, the movie was just fine.
