“Baywatch” (** out of four) was a needless big-screen adaptation of the blockbuster ’90’s television series starring The Rock as the head of an elite group of lifeguards who butts heads with a new young recruit (Zac Efron) who is a former Olympic swimmer; together they both soon uncover a local criminal plot involving a drug ring that threatens the safety of the Bay. The Rock’s effortless likeability and charisma makes this watchable at times but it’s overall pretty soggy. Not bad but yet another television series that didn’t need to be revised or revisited. Original stars David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson have brief cameos.
