Baywatch is a remake of the 1989 TV series of the same name and this remake stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Mitch Buchannon who would do anything to save The Bay. He and his team of lifeguards Stephanie Holden (IIfenesh Hadera), Summer Quinn (Alexandra Daddario), CJ Parker (Kelly Rorhbach) and Ronnie Greenbaum (Jon Bass) work together to save lives on the beach. Matt Brody (Zac Efron) who is a Olympic swimming champion is recruited to become a lifeguard as community service for puking in the pool. Initially, he doesn't want to help out but eventually they're able to take down the drug dealer Victoria Leeds (Priyanka Chopra).

I think all the actors did excellent jobs, I particularly loved watching Priyanka Chopra as the villain. Each character developed as the movie progressed and it also had a few funny scenes. With Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief) as the director, I actually expected it to be funnier and more entertaining. The cinematography was perfect and almost everyone in this film is seen with a swimsuit except Priyanka Chopra who looks amazing as usual in all her scenes. I wish she had more screen time. There's a cameo from original Baywatch casts David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson. Hannibal Buress also has a small role in the film. This movie wasn't made for the critics to love, it's a feel good comedy film which I enjoyed watching.
