Baywatch (Blu-ray + DVD)

My great granddaughter really like this movie we laughed a lot at it and it’s funny and it’s interesting. We like to get together on the weekends and watch movies. They bring me a lot of joy, my great grand children and I love them very much and we watch movies together it’s hard sometimes to find movies with there’s not a lot of bad language and bad things in them so we try to find some to watch that are good and decent and we like this one too.

Definitely well worth a watch... one of my favorite comedies, didn't just rent it. I had to purchase it also.

I've probably only seen a few of TV episodes back when that was on. The film does a great job of not taking itself too seriously. It's a fun mix of comedy and action that really reminds me of the first (and maaaybe 2nd) Beverly Hills Cop movies, as far as how well it switches between the two genres. One minute it's goofy; the next, it's serious action/drama. In words, this dichotomy sounds like it would be too much of a contrast to work. Nonetheless, the flow from scene to scene is smooth, with the movie never forgetting to not take itself too seriously while dishing out fun action scenes.Based on the previews (and my prior "meh" attitude towards the series), I wasn't expecting much. So, I was very surprised when I caught myself laughing out loud within the first five minutes. I know it was within the first five minutes because, as surprised as I was, I stopped the movie to check the run time.The cast all did a pretty good job and were well cast for their roles. Priyanka Chopra plays a good "badguy". The Rock (I'm sorry, but why have removed that moniker from his name?), clearly has a fun time with The Hoff's namesake protagonist character. He also is really adept at the action/comedy style that Eddie Murphy was so great at. This is why it brought back a good-ole-days feeling of watching Beverly Hills Cop.And, just as with Taggart and Foley, The Rock and Zack Effron have good chemistry in the role of enemies who must come to terms with each other to fight the badguy. The ladies hold true to the original series (somewhat derisive) name: Babewatch. However, besides being nice screen candy, they also bring life and depth to their characters. Kelly Rohrbach (the blonde), in particular, does a great job of looking like the ditzy slow-mo camera'd blonde and then contrasting that with both good portrayal of emotion as well as strength.Then there's poor Ronnie Greenbaum, who plays the "not quite of the beach mold" character. But, again, he does a great job of both enjoying the fun of being the misfit when the movie is in comedy mode, as well as switching to can-do teammate when the movie is in action mode.Remember, the movie has fun with itself and all of the cast do a great job of moving back and forth between action and comedy. No, it's not a serious crime drama. No, it's not the funniest movie you've ever seen. Yes, it does make an hour and a half pass quickly and enjoyably with some good laughs and fun action scenes.If you're like me and weren't a fan of the series, don't skip this (as I almost did) based just on the title. If you were a fan of the series, The Rock does a good job of bringing a crime-fighting, bay-saving Mitch Buchannon to the movie format. But, from the previews, you should know this movie isn't the serious drama style that the series was.Oh ya, and the actual "Hoff" does make a brief cameo (in a truly Luke and Obi-wan moment, no less). So, if you're one of his die hard fans, you'll want to watch it for that scene.

Good movie

One of my new faves!

I just can't figure the demographics of this movie! It's far too explicit for kids and tweens. It's too childish for adults, but it's too stupid for older teens/ young twenties. I think that's why it didn't do so well overall. I also think the humor was a bit dark for this attempt. The Rock was a good choice and I'm sure they added Zeffron to bring the girlies in, but it just seemed to miss all the demographic marks. Too dark for girls, too silly for boys. I'm not sure how you would actually do a good remake given the source material it was inspired by. I know the series was HUGE worldwide, but if you try to actually sit and binge episodes you probably won't make it too long and if you do... You probably won't like this movie either as it radically departs from the cotton candy of the series. The Pamela Anderson cameo was pretty god-awful. She's had so much plastic surgery her face looked inflated and she was covered head to toe with only a tiny portion of her neck and just the front part of her face was visible as they had her hair spilling down in an attempt to further disguise her. If they had to go to such lengths then it was not appropriate to have included her at all.

Wow! Loved it!

Great item
