Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I don't understand The Bad reviews!! Oh come on people what were you expecting to have??The Movie Was Really Good

I would say it was entartaining first half of the movie,kinda,but then it gets messy.Obviously bad directing and even worse writing.Actors pulled out everything they could,first half of the movie i had been entertained,but as the end approaches it gets boring. See it if you are fan of The Rock or Zac Efron,otherwise i wouldnt recommend it.

Mitch Buchannon (Dwayne Johnson) is a head lifeguard who is devoted to his work and takes a serious and professional approach to his job. He soon finds his patience tested when cocky gung-ho new recruit Matt Brody (Zac Efron) joins the programme and he clashes with Mitch as they have very differing attitudes to what being a lifeguard is actually about; however the 2 men find that they must work together when they learn that real estate magnate Victoria Leeds (Priyanka Chopra) is taking unethical measures in order to create a monopoly on the bay.Let's all be honest with each other here; this film never had a chance of being brilliant and anyone who was actually expecting this to be an amazing film either doesn't live in the real world or perhaps hasn't seen the original TV Series upon which this film was based on - which I can understand with younger viewers as it must be close to 20 years since Baywatch was last on TV. Having said that the film did work on a very basic level for me; the banter (mainly between Johnson and Efron is amusing - even if Efron being compared to every solo male singer or boy-band member in the last 20 years was a one-note joke it was a fairly effective joke for the most part). Sure it's a shallow film, but in some ways it's amusingly shallow as it does at least have a degree of self-awareness about it; there are a number of slow-motion scenes which are obviously an in-joke about the original TV Series (which perhaps won't work for those who haven't seen the TV Series), but for someone like me who was a teenager at the time and remembers the TV series I did find some of these references to be quite funny.Although there is a plot here, it is rather weak and with all the focus being on the cast members perfectly toned bodies or wonderful breasts - like Efron himself I found Daddario's assets something of a distraction, and I also thought that Kelly Rohrbach was pretty hot as well. But this forms part of a problem in the fact that these are the things that you remember about the film and the story takes second place and almost feels inconsequential. Like I say it is the fairly amusing banter between Johnson and Efron that prevents me from completely hating this film.The acting is pretty much as bad as could be expected with, rather unsurprisingly, the 2 people in the film who seemingly haven't been selected for their looks (Johnson and Bass) giving the most engaging performances and it is these 2 actors that come across as being the most believable and 'real' people out of the cast. Efron isn't very good when he's on his own and only works well when he plays off against Johnson. Daddario and Rohrbach are both hot, but they are fairly vapid characters who add very little (apart from the obvious) and the same extends to Hadera who I felt could have been used better. There are a couple of lazy and rather meaningless cameos from ex-stars of the TV Series which add nothing to the film (which strikes as desperation from the producers and with Johnson being one of the producers I thing he should hang his head in shame). I get that the film isn't meant to be taken seriously and I liked the way it made fun of itself a bit, but there's this underlying feeling that Baywatch the film is far too in love with itself and for me this took some of the enjoyment away from my overall viewing experience.

It's Baywatch, not Academy Award winning material. BUT it was fun, lots of LOL moments. Simple storyline, catch a bad guy. But I totally had a good time watching it!
