The actors are what save it. Not only does Johnson build on his subversive 
persona of hulking, dim-witted likability, 
but he’s joined by Neighbors’ Zac Efron, today’s reigning king of the hazy one-liner.

For the most part, Baywatch resembles a scarce amount of its origin and relies on a none-too-arch humor that misses more than it hits.

In terms of body objectification, Baywatch is an equal-opportunity exploiter, but when it comes to comedy, it's a total boys' club.

Everything about Baywatch the movie is big, brash and bombastic.

It’s a goof that isn’t goofy enough, a romp that doesn’t, and a tone-deaf riff on a show that was already a parody, in and of itself.

If anything, Baywatch is a litmus test for how low Johnson can sink while still winning us over.

By about halfway in, the gags dry up and the story sinks like an overweight tourist who took a dip too early after the all-you-can-eat surf ’n’ turf buffet.

I only watched this movie cause it had the Rock. I was extremely surprised that it was a good movie. It was pretty funny as well.

Baywatch. Big and pumped up! This is a cool comedy with explosions and a lot of jokes below and above the belt. Laughing and looking at the slow running of girls in bathing suits for one evening is enough and no more.

If you can make it through this movie, you are probably an immature 16 year old boy with absolutely nothing better to do. Embarrassed for the cast.

I know this movie is supposed to be a dumb, fun, summer comedy. While the movie is self-aware of this, it even failed to land some of the comedy that should’ve the center point of the whole movie. Meaning that there are certain jokes that didn’t land and they just kept going which made me even role my eyes. When a comedies jokes don’t land and go on too long it’s a sign that the movie is becoming more dumb than fun. The comedy shouldn’t have annoyed me, meaning that bad jokes just went on for too long or didn’t lead to better jokes. While the movie is self-aware, and kind of fun, it fails on a comedic level that makes movies like this enjoyable for audiences who will see this movie. Some people might find the raunchy comedy really funny if that’s what they like, but if you, in general, like comedies you might not be laughing as much as you thought you would be during this movie.
