Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron & Alexandra Daddario Get Wet In First Trailer For 'Baywatch'

In terms of films filling the simplest and perhaps basest desires of moviegoers, there are few mainstream movies coming in 2017 that will cater as directly to those who just want to look at attractive people wearing mostly nothing, than “Baywatch.” Featuring ripped dudes (Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron), toned women (Kelly Rohrbach, Alexandra Daddario, Ilfenesh Hadera) and, uh, an out of shape guy (Jon Bass), the big screen reboot of the cornball TV show has its bases covered. But whether it works as a movie is a whole other thing.

Seth Gordon (“Identity Thief,” “Horrible Bosses“) is going to try and make it happen with this movie about a young, brash lifeguard recruit who mixes it up with an older veteran, and presumably lots of sexy and funny things happen. I guess it’s not like they can screw up the legacy of the TV show, so there’s nowhere to go up, but let’s hope there’s something worthwhile in all of this. And an R-rating should give them the freedom to do pretty much whatever they want.

“Baywatch” will get wet and wild on May 26, 2017.
