Baywatch : Alerte à Malibu

Baywatch is super cheesy, low brow, campy, ridiculous, etc, etc.....but you know what? That's enjoyable sometimes! You don't knowingly buy a ticket to a movie like this and then go write a review afterwards complaining about plot, teenage boy humour, and character development. hahaha. I had low expectations, shut my brain off at the door, and enjoyed this movie for what it was.

I remember being the only person in the auditorium seeing this in 2017 that was odd but understandable just wasn't reviewing at the time now rewatching it's so good. Baywatch is a wild raunchy, sexy, charming, and great fun; I love how much ridiculousness packed in this! I would be a lot like Ronny's character very much would shut down in front of beautiful angels maybe being around them more would bring in confidence some are more fortunate with the perfect physique. Baywatch is probably the type that grows on you and I agree with anyone that says it depends what you're looking for. Only other unfortunate aspect is the alcohol consumption in this sometimes it works in this case could've had any other drink especially body builders silly how Zac Efron was written to be the snarky half serious type otherwise awesomeness!

I don't review movies too often, but when I saw all the horrible reviews for this movie, I felt the need to write my own. I have a feeling that most of the people who rated this movie poorly haven't seen the movie at all (like a lot of ratings on IMDb) or just have no sense of humor at all. Is this movie action-packed? Yes! Does the movie include a lot of dick jokes, bouncing boobs and swearing? Yes! Did I enjoy the movie? Oh yeah! Will it be an Oscar winner? Of course not! It's not that kind of movie. People take things too seriously.

If you liked Baywatch like I did, check out Zac Efron in Dirty Grandpa and Dwayne Johnson in The Other Guys.

My review for this movie is sort of late as I had zero interest in viewing it when it came out. The trailers looked silly, bad, cringy so I skipped. Now, almost 6 years later it has come to pass that there was nothing better on the TV, so I gave it a chance.

Is the movie Bad? Yes. It is very selfaware though, over the top, silly and dare I say... fun. The movie is just ridiculous in a good way, making fun of but also tributing the original series.

The plot is simple, the actors are just having fun on set. The CGI is laughable, but I believe on purpose. There is a part with a rescue from a burning boat. The flames look so fake that it was funny in it's own right (sharknado level CGI in fact).

Do not expect inteligent humor, do not expect a well thought out plot, effects or acting.

In fact, this movie is probably best consumed with a group of friends and a side of alcohol. I went into this movie with absolutely zero expectations and came out pleasantly surprised with how much I was entertained.

It's not a James Bond movie, but the drama is real!

Let's be totally honest - the movie is exactly as it's supposed to be. It's light, slightly offensive (to whoever it can) and sends this wink to the audience. Not like Deadpool completely breaking the 4th wall. In a way that keeps with the summer vibe.

Definitely, a summer movie to watch with friends on a hot evening with a glass of Pimms!
