Critic Reviews:
- “Crude as hell and full of self-references, this loving parody of the 1990s hit series stars Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson in a sun-filled party-like lark full of sand, sun, surf and slo-mo…a slick, well-directed diversion.” – 3AW
- “Baywatch is a rare movie in one sense: it starts with a good plan, to spoof the 1980s and 90s television series on which it is based, and sticks to it.” – The Australian
- “Baywatch's action sequences have plenty of explosive charge. And the underwater scenes are vividly realised. The set-up is also well considered – since it includes moviegoers in the joke with a minimum of winks and nudges.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia)
