Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003)

Wow, i go from 1991 to 2003 and in twelve years, little Hobie has grown up and now he is kissing Summer, the colleague of his father. Their moments and watching the old cast being older (Mitch, Stephanie, CJ and Eddy) are the only interests of this movie. Everything else is crap and it's a shame they wanted to end their adventures like this. If the trap of Sato involving cloning a key character is unbelievable, i don't mind really because this show was a bit like this. On the other hand, i can't accept that there's no more humanism or originality: all the characters fall in stupid romances and if Hawai offers beautiful natural settings, i can say i miss California. If it wasn't enough, their choice of other Baywatch members is awful (who ever wanted to see again Neely, Cort, DJ, Kakoa???) and they don't even explain their actual life. Worst, it's really about Babeswatch now (FHM Shot, a lot of dancing, tanning) and products placement (if you haven't discover the swipes now, you are as blind as Cort was like!).Finally, it's very close to what the show was about: on its 11 years, only the first four seasons was good and the seven following was shameful! so this movie belongs to the latter category and that's where it hurts: this is surely their last farewell and they fail to pay homage to all the good things they have brought us.

First of all, the storyline sucks. Lets get that out of the way immedietly.If you're anything like me however this won't matter a jot. ...However, it is a slight pity that the storyline wasn't a bit more inviting and interesting. I think they went wrong by treating the movie like one of the episodes and instead of tieing everyone into the main plot they had several subplots or co-plots. Regarding the most important element, babes! well, not much. There are a few close ups shots of bikini girls and although the women including Pamela Anderson are here, the overall feeling is one of tension and unwillingness to really let go (of that towel, or shirt!).Instead we're treated or mistreated to Pamela anderson waring a shirt under which we just barely glimpse a micro bikini thing. Don't get me wrong, Pamela does look amazing as the years ever so skillfully carve a real and quite sexual womanhood of experience into her facial features and this is a real turn on but it doesn't go any further. This is the dvd afterall, not PG TV. What happened? There's one nice part where Pammy is getting some sun in a bikini then gets up to reveal a thong thing going on, but these moments are too few and far between.Overall the dvd is a disappointment as it has zero extras unless you count scene selection? NO pix, no documentary, no interviews etc which was not only a pity but a missed oportunity on behalf of Hasslehoff and gang to document this once huge american phenomenon, but then wouldn't an intelligent thing to do be contradiction? Ironically I would still recommend buying it, if purely to have it in your DVD collection as this is not only (and hopefully) a firm well-endowed goodbye to Baywatch but perhaps also to Pamela too, at least until she's back in the 2010 or whatever edition of Playboy.keth.

It was great to see all of the cast back together. There were even some Baywatch cast members that weren't on the show at the same time previous to now. The plot was kind of dopey. I think they just wanted Alexandra Paul in the movie and that was about the only way they could. Seeing C.J. and Summer and all of the Baywatch crew back together was nice, but I can't give a vote higher than six. The plot being so sub-standard and all.

As a retired LA beach lifeguard with twenty five years of service as both a permanent and recurrent I have been a fan of the Baywatch series for many years even though many of the episodes leaved something to be desired (a decent story). The images in the montages were outstanding and brought back memories of my days on the beach. This two hour reunion was a big let down. The visuals were great especially if you like female boobs and butts but I couldn't believe how bad the story and directing were. I've seen better work in USC student films. It was a real rip off of the Baywatch legacy. Its the kind of film you have to see twice because after the first time you can't believe how bad it is.
