Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Matt Hudson (148) for What I Watched Tonight (148) on 21 Dec 2018

It's not a well-crafted movie but what it does is provide some goofy fun and allows the viewer to suspend brain activity for a few hours, and…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Sharronda Williams (83) for Pay Or Wait (83) on 12 Nov 2018

The cast looks amazing in this film, but there is only so much saving that Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron's abs can do…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Bob Chipman (153) for Geek (137) on 03 Nov 2018

No matter how cleverly the film positions itself, it's basically making fun of a version of this brand that never actually existed…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Matt Oakes (180) for Silver Screen Riot (180) on 01 Nov 2018

Fails to make any real splash but does offer a smorgasbord of hot beach bods dashing in slow-motion atop the sandy shores…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 31 Oct 2018

It is ultimately a simple case of a comedy not being funny, mainly because it goes for the easy joke every time and can't even do that right…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Sean Mulvihill (414) for FanboyNation.com (414) on 30 Oct 2018

This is a movie with no wit, no imagination, and no laughs throughout its two tedious hours…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Rendy Jones (321) for Rendy Reviews (320) on 29 Aug 2018

Baywatch's tired and retreaded plot line and lack of tonal focus makes this R-rated TV adaptation a total beach to sit through…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Alison Rowat (245) for The Herald (Scotland) (244) on 21 Aug 2018

For gross out humour, knuckleheaded script complete with a plot that would have shamed Scooby Doo, airheaded sexism and blistering lack of…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Mae Abdulbaki (411) for Movies with Mae (104) on 20 Aug 2018

Some fun in the sun never hurt anyone, and Baywatch is full of those crazy and ridiculous moments, but it's ultimately bogged down after its…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Stephanie Cooke (39) for Rogues Portal (39) on 19 Aug 2018

The trailer made me believe that it wanted to be a comedy spoof of the original. I think that was the intent, but the film was all over the place…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Shaun Munro (472) for Flickering Myth (680) on 19 Mar 2018

Try as it might to emulate the formula of Phil Lord and Chris Miller's ultra-successful big-screen 21 Jump Street reboot franchise, the decidedly…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Jeremy Jahns (155) for JeremyJahns.com (155) on 26 Jan 2018

Baywatch was garbage...in the end, it doesn't quite get to guilty-pleasure level…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Christopher Llewellyn Reed (298) for Film Festival Today (161) on 25 Jan 2018

The key is to not think too much. Remember that…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Steph Cozza (70) for Aggressive Comix (70) on 18 Jan 2018

A good background noise, popcorn filck kind of movie...overall kind of dry, slow and off balance…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Jamie Neish (184) for CineVue (2,163) on 28 Dec 2017

What the director and writers have done is turn something that's considered by many to be dumb-but-fun into an overlong, unfunny film that's…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Carl Kozlowski (99) for Pasadena Weekly (143) on 28 Dec 2017

Baywatch is so off-base on every level that it nearly made me want to quit my career as a film critic…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Ed Williamson (23) for TheShiznit.co.uk (506) on 26 Dec 2017

Self-awareness is what got Zac Efron and his co-star The Rock where they are today, and so a riff on Baywatch, sending up how daft it was,…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Robert Kojder (605) for Flickering Myth (680) on 05 Dec 2017

The radiating charisma and talent from Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron come very, very close to saving Baywatch…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Danielle Solzman (397) for Solzy at the Movies (339) on 25 Nov 2017

Baywatch had so much riding on it but it just couldn't live up to the original series…
