The Transformation Of Alexandra Daddario From Childhood To The White Lotus

In 2017, Alexandra Daddario starred in another reboot of a well-known franchise. Fortunately, this one panned out a little better than “Texas Chainsaw,” as her turn as Summer Quinn in the movie adaptation of “Baywatch” became one of her most lauded roles. The film follows a lifeguard named Mitch Buchannon (Dwayne Johnson) who is forced to confront a dangerous drug lord in an effort to protect his beach. The cast also includes Zac Efron, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jon Bass, Kelly Rohrbach, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Pamela Anderson, and David Hasselhoff.

The film saw very mixed reviews. While it has a certified fresh audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with viewers calling it funny, exciting, and praising standout performances from Efron and Johnson, critics had less than positive reactions. “Baywatch” has a low 17% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with many complaining that the film lacks the necessary humor and lightheartedness of a summer comedy, and others dubbing its CGI as clunky, and condemning its pacing as slow. Much like the original “Baywatch,” the movie’s not for everybody; however, folks with a specific fondness for the sight of famous people in swim gear running in slow motion seem to appreciate it.
