The movie “Baywatch” is based on the TV show, it is good and funny. David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, from the original TV show, makes a cameo appearance. I think these scenes were awesome and giving credit to these original stars was a well deserved tribute. The TV show “Baywatch” was a hit in the 90’s. The original TV show premiered in 1989 and it ended in 2001.
Dwayne Johnson stars in it as Mitch Buchannan, playing the role of David Hasselhoff, as head lifeguard. I liked how the movie captured some of the old TV scenes, like the slow motion scenes. However, impossible to top the scenes of Pam Anderson running on the beach in slow motion in the original TV show.
The movie is both a comedy and drama. The scene on the beach where one of the male characters, Ronnie, gets his body part caught in a deck chair, is funny. Probably the most dramatic part of the movie is where Mitch saves two girls from a boat engulfed in flames.
So here is my take on this movie: Very funny, sexy beach scenes, heroic saves and good movie to reflects back to the 90’s “Baywatch” TV show.
