Matt Brody is a 2-time Olympic champion swimmer. However, due to drug and alcohol problems he has fallen from grace, to the point that he now has to perform community service as part of a plea deal for an offense. He will serve his time as a lifesaver at Emerald Bay lifeguard station, run by the no-nonsense Mitch Buchannon. Brody soon discovers that his celebrity status will earn him no favours. Meanwhile, people are dying in mysterious circumstances in Emerald Bay and Buchannon and his lifesaving team investigate. The occurrences may be linked to a nearby property development. Devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon butts heads with a brash new recruit, as they uncover a criminal plot that threatens the future of the bay. There are two reasons I thought one might want to watch this: it's stupid fun and it's sexy. But it was just stupid and not that sexy. For me, having Priyanka, Alexandra Daddario and Kelly Rohrbach in a movie and not have it be sexy is an awful fail.<br/><br/>And it could all been saved if the story would have been a little more interesting or the jokes better, but they just weren't. Did I have difficulties watching it? No. It was like a dumb TV movie that you can enjoy and I was on an international flight. But other than that specific situation, I can't imagine myself wanting to watch it. I truly don't understand all the negative reviews. I guess you have no sense of humor. This to me is by far the funniest movie of the year. The Rock was awesome as always and Zac Efron was hilarious. I laughed through the whole movie my favorite scene was when they were in the morgue. Please don't listen to these boring negative reviews go see the movie and try not to compare it to the original Baywatch this one is is clearly in a whole different League. Im hoping there will be a sequel to this… Johnson and Efron possess impressive muscles, but the performers have never done as much heavy lifting as they do here. And to their credit, they succeed to some degree.
