Insomniac Film Festival #38: Baywatch

I'm glad I didn't see this in theatres. It really isn't very good, which is too bad because all these actors are quite talented and deserve better. This is based on a tv show that was popular in the 1990s. The original starred David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, this one replaces them with Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron and Alexandria Daddario.

Johnson is Mitch, Efron and Daddario are... well it doesn't really matter. They're there to be life guards who solve crime on the side, make homophobic jokes and generally try to make the script work.

You can see where this movie wanted to be like 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street, but they also couldn't get away from trying to be raunchy in a way that really doesn't work. I don't mind raunchy humour, but this one take a homophobic route to it.
