Baywatch

Directed by Seth Gordon. With Alexandra Daddario, Dwayne Johnson, Priyanka Chopra, Zac Efron. Two unlikely prospective lifeguards vie for jobs alongside the buff bodies who patrol a beach in California.

Baywatch (2017) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.

A full feature with a storyline that an enterprising six-year-old might have thought was a little too rudimentary.

Parents need to know that Baywatch is an action comedy starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron based on the popular '90s TV series. Unlike the show, the movie takes things to R-rated levels. There's more violence than you might expect, with deaths played for laughs, gun play, and dead bodies (including gory photos of a body with big chunks bitten out of it by a shark). In one long sequence, a character has to manipulate a dead man's genitals (his penis and testicles are shown a lot), and another character treats the scene as if it's funny. There are other "gay panic" scenes -- for instance, a same-sex mouth-to-mouth scene -- and one character calls another things like "bitch," "princess," and "butterfly" to suggest that he's womanly and weak. There's no sex, but you'll see kissing, flirting, and crude sequences in which one character can't stop getting an erection and another can't stop looking at a woman's breasts. Female characters are dressed in very revealing costumes (male characters aren't, although they're often shown shirtless), and the camera pans up and down their bodies frequently. They also run in slow motion, a gimmick imported from the TV show. Strong language includes many variations of "f--k," as well as "s--t," "goddamn," and more. Drinking plays a part in a subplot, with a character neglecting his duties in order to drink shots, and drugs are the focus of the movie's main plot.

Playing up the insults and playing down the jiggle, a movie version of the muscle-beach TV series is stupidly entertaining...for a while.

The story follows devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon as he butts heads with a brash new recruit. Together, they uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay.

Baywatch brings over the top gross-out moments but forgot to bring the actual jokes.
