The biggest disappointment of this feature is that it's not even so bad it's good.

The'Baywatch reboot is mildly diverting but altogether dull. Summer fun shouldn't feel like such a chore.

Suffice it to say, too, that there's a lot of delight to be had in the frothy union of the Bay and the Watch, much of it coming from Johnson, who carries the whole of this movie on his epically chiseled lats.

Baywatch exchanges many of the soap opera-level character notes and story tangents of the TV show for gushingly over-the-top R-rated gags and blockbuster-level thrills.
