ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:
And now beaches, bathing suits and "Baywatch" - "Baywatch" on the big screen. On TV, the series turned out to be critic-proof, no doubt the movie will too. That has not kept NPR's Bob Mondello from filing this review.
BOB MONDELLO, BYLINE 1: It's a beach in Florida this time. I know you care because we're all here for the plot, right? And head lifeguard Mitch Buchannon is now The Rock, not the Hoff.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "BAYWATCH")
DWAYNE JOHNSON: (As Mitch Buchannon) Our team is the elite 2 of the elite, the heart and soul of this very beach.
MONDELLO: Also the pecs, glutes and washboard abs of this very beach which is apparently 3 in peril 4, though you'd not guess that from the less than rigorous lifeguard tryouts Mitch is holding or the snark he throws at Zac Efron's stuck-up Olympic swimmer who tries to get out of those tryouts. Mitch won't even utter the kid's name.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "BAYWATCH")
JOHNSON: (As Mitch Buchannon) Hey, One Direction, you here for the qualifiers?
ZAC EFRON: (As Matt Brody) I'm Matt Brody. I don't have to try out. I've got two gold medals.
JOHNSON: (As Mitch Buchannon) Hey, Steph.
ILFENESH HADERA: (As Stephanie Holden) Hey.
JOHNSON: (As Mitch Buchannon) New Kids on the Block here is from Iowa.
EFRON: (As Matt Brody) Oh, man.
HADERA: (As Stephanie Holden) Really?
JOHNSON: (As Mitch Buchannon) Let me ask you this - a lot of oceans in Iowa?
HADERA: (As Stephanie Holden) No, just ponds and lakes and cocky pretty boys. Hey, Mitch, what happened to that last pretty boy recruit we had?
JOHNSON: (As Mitch Buchannon) He died.
EFRON: (As Matt Brody) What is this, lifeguard hazing 5?
MONDELLO: Yeah, pretty much. Dwayne Johnson is endearing enough to keep that boy band name thing going a lot longer than you'd think he could. Efron's decently amusing too, mostly at playing dumb.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "BAYWATCH")
ALEXANDRA DADDARIO: (As Summer Quinn) Did you just look at my boobs?
EFRON: (As Matt Brody) I...
DADDARIO: (As Summer Quinn) You should look at my face.
EFRON: (As Matt Brody) I'm trying, but it's so close to your boobs.
MONDELLO: You'll note that the gals 6 are a take-charge bunch these days, not that Pamela Anderson wasn't. No emails, please. No one would accuse the films women of having personalities 7, but the filmmakers decided 8 to let them make the jokes about physicality, not be the butt 9 of them.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "BAYWATCH")
DADDARIO: (As Summer Quinn) Why does she always look like she's running in slo-mo?
JON BASS 10: (As Ronnie Greenbaum) You see it too?
MONDELLO: It's the cinematic equivalent of air quotes. The guys, meanwhile, get the gross-out stuff - genitalia caught in a lounge chair, a trip to the morgue where the talk turns scrotal - actually, the guy talk frequently takes that turn. And when nudity is called for, who ends up naked? The pudgy guy who doesn't realize he's in a co-ed shower.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "BAYWATCH")
BASS: (As Ronnie Greenbaum, singing) Oh, oh, oh.
KELLY ROHRBACH: (As CJ Parker) Damn, Ronnie.
BASS: (As Ronnie Greenbaum, screaming).
ROHRBACH: (As CJ Parker) Never really heard a guy sing that song, but you're really good.
BASS: (As Ronnie Greenbaum) Thank you.
ROHRBACH: (As CJ Parker) By the way, when we shower in here, we keep our suits on.
MONDELLO: Females empowered, males embarrassed, all played with bathing suits skimpy enough that you figure there must be a spandex shortage in Florida. Which is guilty pleasure-ish fun for a while until director Seth Gordon feels the need to tell an actual story involving real estate deals and a gorgeous villain 11 in evening gowns.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "BAYWATCH")
JOHNSON: (As Mitch Buchannon) Drugs, murder, dead body on our beach, and it all started once she took over.
EFRON: (As Matt Brody) Am I the only one that thinks this is clearly a job for the police?
MONDELLO: Unlike the setup, the story founders 12 and cramps 13 like a tourist who swam too soon after an all-you-can-eat buffet 14. It doesn't quite sink "Baywatch."
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "BAYWATCH")
EFRON: (As Matt Brody) All things considered, things could have got a lot worse.
MONDELLO: That's fair. For ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, I'm Bob Mondello.
