What to Know

Critics Consensus

Baywatch takes its source material's jiggle factor to R-rated levels, but lacks the original's campy charm -- and leaves its charming stars flailing in the shallows.

Gary M. Kramer Salon.com The biggest disappointment of this feature is that it's not even so bad it's good. Nov 17, 2017 Full Review K. Austin Collins The Ringer The'Baywatch reboot is mildly diverting but altogether dull. Summer fun shouldn't feel like such a chore. Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Megan Garber The Atlantic Suffice it to say, too, that there's a lot of delight to be had in the frothy union of the Bay and the Watch, much of it coming from Johnson, who carries the whole of this movie on his epically chiseled lats. Jun 16, 2017 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Baywatch exchanges many of the soap opera-level character notes and story tangents of the TV show for gushingly over-the-top R-rated gags and blockbuster-level thrills. Rated: 3/5 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Swetha Ramakrishnan Firstpost In Baywatch, characters are introduced with style. But the storyline itself is routine, predictable. Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A movie based on a show about brain-baked lifeguards isn't going to stir memories of, say, A Man for All Seasons or The King's Speech or even Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but within its own parameters, Baywatch knows the territory. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Tim M One of the worst film I have seen. What was it about? Have Baywatch half crime film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Craig D Baywatch is brilliant movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Lady O What a colossal waste of time. Corny with childlike humour and some x-rated scenes, this pokes fun at the original tv show and has a story line of lifeguard cop wannabe. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Ed R Not a bad movie. Some good humor and good homage to the original show. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Zoltán M So bad :( This is not BAYWATCH. They totally destroyed the original feelings. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Richard God what a waste of time, just f bombs and bad acting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
