Nicely shot, if wasted chance tie up loose ends
First of all, the storyline sucks. Lets get that out of the way immedietly.
If you're anything like me however this won't matter a jot. ...However, it is a slight pity that the storyline wasn't a bit more inviting and interesting. I think they went wrong by treating the movie like one of the episodes and instead of tieing everyone into the main plot they had several subplots or co-plots. Regarding the most important element, babes! well, not much. There are a few close ups shots of bikini girls and although the women including Pamela Anderson are here, the overall feeling is one of tension and unwillingness to really let go (of that towel, or shirt!).
Instead we're treated or mistreated to Pamela anderson waring a shirt under which we just barely glimpse a micro bikini thing. Don't get me wrong, Pamela does look amazing as the years ever so skillfully carve a real and quite sexual womanhood of experience into her facial features and this is a real turn on but it doesn't go any further. This is the dvd afterall, not PG TV. What happened? There's one nice part where Pammy is getting some sun in a bikini then gets up to reveal a thong thing going on, but these moments are too few and far between.
Overall the dvd is a disappointment as it has zero extras unless you count scene selection? NO pix, no documentary, no interviews etc which was not only a pity but a missed oportunity on behalf of Hasslehoff and gang to document this once huge american phenomenon, but then wouldn't an intelligent thing to do be contradiction? Ironically I would still recommend buying it, if purely to have it in your DVD collection as this is not only (and hopefully) a firm well-endowed goodbye to Baywatch but perhaps also to Pamela too, at least until she's back in the 2010 or whatever edition of Playboy.
