In sun-kissed Emerald Bay, the vigorous Lieutenant Mitch Buchannon and Baywatch, his elite team of hand-picked and perfectly tanned lifeguards, protect the bay, keeping both sunbathers and beach lovers safe. However, this summer, two new eager trainees will join the demanding life-saving program, as well as an insubordinate former Olympic swimmer, who are all called to prove their worth on the lifeguard towers just on time when a new synthetic street drug begins to infest the Emerald Bay: the flakka. Without a doubt, this calls for some serious undercover teamwork action, as the badgeless heroes in spandex comb the beach for shady newcomers and nefarious entrepreneurs with hidden agendas of their own. Can Mitch's band save the bay?
Leave your thoughts about Baywatch.
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallBaywatch is a running gag in slow motion, a thong-in-cheek TV retread swapping wholesome jiggles for dirty giggles. There are places for such humor but beaches don't have gutters. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfJohnson is too bright a personality to be dimmed by the crumpled wad of post-it notes the production calls a screenplay, but Efron proves once again that funny business is not in his bones. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekYet another misfire based on a crummy old TV series...a would-be summer blockbuster that might not be as excruciatingly bad as you might fear but certainly isn't a cinematic day at the beach. |
| AV ClubSean O'NealIn spoofing something so forgettable, they’ve made something even less memorable. |
| CNN.comBrian LowryA Baywatch movie needn't be high art -- its TV inspiration certainly wasn't -- but did it have to be this inane? |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderYou know you're sunk when even the outtakes of a comedy aren't funny. |
| National ReviewKyle SmithThe film's big lesson, which Brody learns at great length, is that there is no I in team. True enough, but in Baywatch, there is contained a question: Y Watch? |
| SassyMamaInLACourtney HowardIt's as if we're seeing the product of no one behind the scenes caring about what's going in front of the camera. |
| Pasadena WeeklyCarl KozlowskiBaywatch is so off-base on every level that it nearly made me want to quit my career as a film critic. |
| Nerd ReportFred TopelUnlike the great movies based on TV shows, Baywatch never decided if it was making fun of the show... or celebrating it... It doesn't so much try to have it both ways as it just doesn't seem to understand there are ways at all. |
