I was never into BAYWATCH growing up, because by the time I was interested in girls, porn was widely available on the internet. So I don't have any sort of nostalgia for the property. On top of that, the film just looks kinda…dumb? Like, the trailer had some funny lines here-and-there, and The Rock and Zac Efron have charm to spare, but will that be enough to save it?
We'll see when the film comes out, but for now Paramount Pictures has sent out a new poster to whet our appetites:
I'm pretty sure there's a visual joke in there somewhere, but if there is, it's too subtle for me to pick up on it.
Meanwhile, BAYWATCH will run in slow-motion to theaters May 26th, 2017.
