Wow! Baywatch got dragged through the mud by critics. It was
almost enough to make me pass on this film...SIKE! Are you kidding me!? Me miss
an opportunity to see Dwayne Johnson run around shirtless on a beach? I would
never pass on that...ijs. When I watched the trailer I didn't find this movie
to anything extraordinary, but it looked cute and funny enough to get me into
the theater. There are certain films you have to approach with low expectations
in order to help with a more enjoyable experience. This was one of those
movies...
I'm not sure what critics were
expecting. I never watched the TV series Baywatch, but I'm sure it wasn't a
work of art, but people tuned in to see Pamela Anderson run on the beach in a
one piece ~shrugs. Putting The Rock half naked on the beach was the same reason
I went to see the film. Yes the movie was corny, the storyline very weak, and
almost complete nonsense, but I still enjoyed it. I enjoyed the characters in
the film (except Zac Efron). Efron was definitely the weakest link for me,
and he really needs to find another niche. The "hot guy" is starting
to wear thin...ijs. Other than Efron though, I thought everyone else was
appropriately cast and there were some decent funny moments. I really enjoy
Dwayne Johnson in comedic roles, and he didn't disappoint with this one.
Do you need to go see
this...no, you can wait until it hits Netflix, or Redbox. However if you have
nothing better to do, and nothing better to see, are willing to set your
expectations low, I think there is still some entertainment value to take away
from this one...lol...C+
