Paul "2 Fast 2 Furious" Walker and Jessica "Fantastic Four" Alba bare their flesh...and their souls in this aquatic comedy caper.
He's a jobbing diving instructor, she's a shark handler and together they bask in the Caribbean sunshine living the good life.
It all goes pear-shaped with the arrival of their buddy Brice, a sleazy no-mark and his dodgy gold-digging chick Ashley Scott.
During a dive off the Bahamas, the four of them not only discover a sunken galleon but a ditched aeroplane crammed with cocaine.
Rather unwisely, Bryce decides to begin dealing the coke...a business opportunity not fully appreciated by the charlie's real gangster owners.
Director John "Blue Crush" Stockwell seems to spend as much time focussing on Alba's bottom as he does working out the finer points of the plot.
It's unashamedly pitched at viewers who consider Nuts magazine higher literary entertainment but you can't accuse it of not knowing its audience.
A must for movie-goers who consider Baywatch an incisive dissection of Pacific lifesaving techniques.
