MUST-SEE OF THE MONTH
Baywatch
TBC
The 80s/90s TV sensation gets rebooted
for the big screen. Anyone fancy a dip?
DIRECTOR Seth Gordon
starring Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron,
Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach
Baywatch was a global television
phenomenon, before that kind of thing
was even a thing. Bursting onto TV
screens in 1989, the weekly adventures of head
lifeguard Mitch Buchanan (David Hasselhoff )
and his easy-on-the-eye team turned Pamela
Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth and Billy Warlock
into household names, while propelling ‘The
Hoff ’ (already a huge star from his Knight
Rider days) even further into the stratosphere.
Nearly 30 years later, the show is getting
a long-overdue, big-screen makeover, with
the seemingly omnipresent Dwayne Johnson
squeezing into The Hoff ’s famous red trunks.
Joining The Rock in keeping the beaches of
Santa Monica safe is teen dream Zac Efron
(the High School Musical series) and fledgling
star Kelly Rohrbach (TV’s The PET Squad
Files). Priyanka Chopra (TV’s Quantico),
meanwhile, plays the villainous Victoria Leeds.
Swearier, naughtier and with a lot more, er,
flesh on display than the TV series, the plot
sees Johnson’s Mitch squabbling with Olympic
swimmer and new recruit Matt Brody (Efron),
who’s been brought in to restore the Baywatch
‘brand’. There’s also a murder to solve. Ooh-er!
With an awesome cast and a gripping, funny
plot, this is the perfect summer blockbuster.
