Baywatch

It has a couple of decent moments, but <em>'Baywatch'</em> is mostly uninspiring. For a comedy, it takes itself way too seriously in parts. None of the heartfelt stuff really lands, while a lot of the humour is over reliant on sexual innuendo. The premise is followable, if entirely predictable. The cast is oversized, way too many characters. Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron are good enough in their respective roles as Mitch and Matt. Summer (Alexandra Daddario) and Victoria (Priyanka Chopra) are alright but underdeveloped, as is Stephanie (Ilfenesh Hadera). C. J. (Kelly Rohrbach) and Ronnie (Jon Bass), meanwhile, are annoying and extremely pointless. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Ellerbee) is solid in a small role. I've never watched the original television series so maybe I missed a few callbacks etc., while there are two (incredibly forced) cameos from it. If it stayed at what it should be - a comedy - then I may have liked this, I simply didn't though. Not terrible, but I still wouldn't say you should rush to see this.

I only watched this movie cause it had the Rock. I was extremely surprised that it was a good movie. It was pretty funny as well.

Yes, you're all very, very attractive, can we have something else too please? _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
