Reviews of the big-screen version of TV series Baywatch are in and critics have well and truly gone for the guttural.
The film, starring Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron and Alexandra Daddario, has been branded as “crude” and “lifeless” by outlets including The Guardian and The Hollywood Reporter.
It’s stupid and juvenile, but Baywatch is more than a worthy successor to its soap opera original.
A big-screen reboot so lifeless and mechanical that even its end-credits out-takes are not amusing, Baywatch proves much less than the sum of its undeniably attractive body parts.
