KFOG REVIEW: “BAYWATCH” & “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES”
It’s a nautical Memorial Day weekend in store, unfortunately they are both shipwrecks. Prepare for lots of water themed jokes.
My beloved Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron lead the Baywatch squad. In spite of their individual charm, and a ton of slow motion, Baywatch is a flop. Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, and Ilfenesh Hadera serve as little else than eye candy. Priyanka Chopra makes an attempt at villainy to little avail.
Johnny Depp is back at the helm of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as Jack Sparrow. Unfortunately his performance is about as washed up as the franchise. Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, and Keira Knightley all return, but will audiences?
