A new DuckTales series is starting and there is a Baywatch
Movie. Did I go back late 80’s?
The Baywatch trailer dropped, and I was honestly looking
forward to watching it. I was never a massive fan of the television show,
because it was silly, but any boy who was 8-12 years old during the shows
heyday watched some episodes for obvious reasons. I was excited when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
signed on for a comedy remake of the series. The trailer today shows the movie
is trying for the 21 Jump Street model by remaking an old television show and
turning it into a farce. Baywatch, to begin with, was a ridiculous premise for
a show, and was mainly to watch pretty people run in slow motion on the beach.
Which the trailer happily makes fun of.
The trailer for Baywatch tried a little too hard to make
sure everyone knew it was a comedy. The first line spoken in the trailer to The
Rock is a little cheesy and over the top, but it’s the tone they are shooting
for. I’m sure the scene will play better in context with the film but probably
shouldn’t have been the opening line of the trailer. There are jokes which
didn’t work in the trailer, but again it could be because they are out of
context in the film. There are other jokes which had me laughing out loud. The
last joke with the African American cop had me laughing both times I watched
the trailer.
I don’t know if Baywatch is going to be a good comedy film,
but the trailer didn’t completely turn me off. It looks like they are shooting
for an over the top silly action comedy, which is exactly the type of tone the
movie should shoot for. Who knows if the jokes and action will play well, but
having The Rock attached to the project gives me hope the movie will turn out
great. This is a movie he really wanted to do, and I’m intrigued to see how if
he can pull it off. From all of the set photos and interviews from the cast it
looked like everyone was having fun on set. This doesn’t mean the movie is
going to be good, but if people are having fun and are passionate about a
project then it has more of a shot than when people are just going through
motions for a paycheck.
The movie has the cast to be a success. They put Zac Efron
in the perfect role to succeed, and Alexandra Daddario is both a very talented
actress and extremely stunning. the question is if the director from Horrible
Bosses can execute a funny film. I didn’t hate that film, but I didn’t love it
either. Regardless I’m going to be seeing this film in the theaters just for a
little bit of nostalgia and the hopes it makes me laugh. I’m excited for it,
and while the trailer wasn’t the best, it wasn’t a dumpster fire either.

If you're looking for a fun, action-packed, and funny movie to watch then this movie is for you. I will say that most of the humor is oriented to guys but overall everyone should find something from it to enjoy. Zac Efron and The Rock do a good job of creating a rivalry early on which incites most of the humor but from start to finish it's great. There wasn't a moment in there that I didn't like or think was childish or not funny. I definitely recommend watching it if you're thinking about it.
