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. In sun-kissed Emerald Bay, the vigorous Lieutenant Mitch Buchannon and Baywatch, his elite team of hand-picked and perfectly tanned lifeguards, protect the bay, keeping both sunbathers and beach lovers safe. However, this summer, two new eager trainees will join the demanding life-saving program, as well as an insubordinate former Olympic swimmer, who are all called to prove their worth on the lifeguard towers just on time when a new synthetic street drug begins to infest the Emerald Bay: the flakka. Without a doubt, this calls for some serious undercover teamwork action, as the badgeless heroes in spandex comb the beach for shady newcomers and nefarious entrepreneurs with hidden agendas of their own. Can Mitch's band save the bay? I enjoyed a lot. Plot is simple (logical for this kind of movies) but te important is having a nice time attending to cinema. <br/><br/>Don't ezpect a work of art but expect a funny movie which is worth to watch it. This movie is great. It really is. Unless you think that the original Baywatch series was an amazing cinematographic experience renowned by critics and fans alike. This movie is fun, stupid fun. It has good one-liners, fun cast and a simple story for simple minds. Just like the show. I can't tell if it's a comedy, parody, or whatever… And it doesn't matter. Just watch it and chill, if you have weed, make sure to smoke that first. Enjoy the acting of Johnson and Efron, look at the chicks and try to ignore the character of "Ronnie" completely because it's just embarrassing. Tonally, Baywatch veers all over the place like a drunk on a speedboat, making for one of the most lacklustre comedies of the year so far.
