Following on the heels of “21 Jump Street,” “Baywatch” saddles two hit comedy actors – Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron – to the decaying horse corpse of a 1990s franchise in hopes of reviving IP. “Street” lucked out, featuring crude but sometimes clever humor, tongue-in-cheek reverence for the source and a strong pair of stars. “Baywatch” has the stars, but everything else about it generally sucks.
