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.

Richard God what a waste of time, just f bombs and bad acting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review alan g I don't know who jiggles more, the Crock or his costars. A movie that should never have been made. Bad "acting", "plot", "directing". Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Blu B Subpar acting, one dimensional characters, a stupid and ridiculous plot, bad editing, terrible pacing, bad cinematography filled with dumb farfetched scenes galore and dumb flat humor, dumb subplots, not a good soundtrack, and you can see why this is bad. This is so mindless, stupid, dumb humor the entire way. Zac Efron isn't good at all in this. The Rock is playing every character he plays in all his crappy flicks. The women are just one dimensional eye candy. The villian is stupid. This was a dumb plot for a even a TV show. Calling it out like this does multiple times doesn't excuse the fact it's still a crappy plot and arguably an even worse idea for a movie. This is filled with nonstop dumb and over the top scenes thanks to the ridiculous plot. Skip This unless you want tons of bad sex jokes and calling out how stupid the idea is as a lazy meta humor attempt. It's a shame too because the setting is nice but it's just used in crappy ways. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Alex F Last month, I found myself in an incredibly stressful situation. My business’s cryptocurrency wallet, which held a significant portion of our operational funds, was compromised. I had received a phishing email that appeared legitimate and, unfortunately, clicked on a link that led to my private key being stolen. Within hours, a substantial amount of our funds was drained from the wallet. Desperate to recover our assets, I reached out to Fastfund Recovery based on their positive reviews and expertise in the field. The process started with a thorough initial consultation. Fastfund Recovery’s team was highly professional and empathetic. They took the time to understand the details of the breach and explained how they could potentially help. They provided a clear overview of the steps involved and the likely outcomes, setting realistic expectations from the outset. Working with Fastfund Recovery was a positive experience despite the stressful circumstances. Their expertise, professionalism, and transparent approach were invaluable. They handled my case with the utmost care and demonstrated a strong commitment to recovering as much as possible. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Fastfund Recovery. Their team is dedicated to helping clients navigate the complex world of cryptocurrency recovery.

Was it because the action and plot were improved? No way. What a waste of some likable talent. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
