“Baywatch” is remarkable, with outstanding acting, a magnificent storyline, non stop comedy, and a conceivable setting that aided the movie even though the obscene language and sexual innuendos made the inspiring theme and action-packed plot hard to understand at times. 

“Baywatch” left viewers satisfied with an extraordinary soundtrack, marvelous special effects and spectacular set decorations that fulfilled the viewer’s needs. The sensational ending left spectators shocked, and the film took movie goers on a emotional roller coaster and kept them incredibly entertained throughout the movie. 

Based off the TV series of the same name, “Baywatch,” released on May 25, has made over $4.5 million. Directed by Seth Gordon and produced by Douglas Schwartz, Iran Reitman, Beau Flynn, Gregory Bonann, and Michael Berk, “Baywatch” featured Dwayne Johnson as Mitch Buchannon, Zac Efron as Matt Brody, and Priyanka Chopra as Victoria Leeds. 

Buchannon and Brody were new coworkers as lifeguards. When Leeds moved into town and took ownership of the Huntley Club, strange murders occurred and drugs were found on the Florida coast. Baywatch, a crew of lifeguards, united to protect their beach from a secret drug organization. 

A highlight of “Baywatch” was the realistic setting. Producers and directors did a stellar job finding the right location to shoot the movie. The clear waters, blue skies, and extravagant props brought the astounding setting to life and related to people in coastal areas around the world. 

The impressive acting was another excellent feature of “Baywatch.” Johnson and Efron fit their roles perfectly and added to the humor and action of the movie. They possessed a raw humor that made them undoubtedly comedic, and their ability to adapt to new characters rendered them flawless. 

The enticing story of “Baywatch” is inspiring, as the movie tells viewers to keep looking for where they belong. The majestic screenplay comes to life with help from the exquisite actors. The well-written screenplay and wondrous theme, determination, encourages the audience to never give up on their dreams. 

The tremendous soundtrack builds the suspense and plot in “Baywatch.” With intensifying sounds and unique modern songs, the soundtrack gives life to the movie in even the slowest of scenes. The score lures the viewer in for more and keeps them on the edge of their seats throughout the movie. 

The film’s biggest drawback is its mature content. “Baywatch” is not appropriate for younger fans due to the vulgar language, nudity, and sexual innuendos in the movie. While the language largely adds to the humor, it is obscene, with profane curse words and indecent nude scenes and is mainly meant for mature audiences.

“Baywatch” is an enthralling and enchanting film that incorporates comedy and action. Despite minor setbacks with its crude humor, “Baywatch” enchants with superb acting, wonderful directing, constant comedy, plausible settings and a fabulous storyline that ends with a shocking surprise.

“Baywatch,” rated R by Paramount Pictures, is available in theatres on a daily basis nationwide.
