I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
View MoreSelf-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

View MoreThe writing is just plain bad. It makes no sense. Teen girl steals a handgun (not likely w/ police holster design) and shoots two cops - No one calls her stalking target? Someone's meds get messed up and they don't immediately assume it's the volunteer who was there for just that day? For that matter, they let a volunteer even close to patients and medication? If there's one thing that grinds my gears its unrealistic characters and badly written plot. I understand that the director/writers probably aren't experienced with writing and human interaction and plot, but at least try. Ask a few four year olds what they think of your plot - if they have any questions you can answer or think your plot isn't believable, consider revising.Clippy the paper clip could provide a better script than this "movie".Oh, and the acting is pretty bad, but that might be the writing.
View MoreHigh-school swimmer Ben Cronin (Jesse Bradford) is good looking, popular, has a pretty devoted girlfriend, Amy (Shiri Appleby), and a promising future—kinda makes you sick doesn't it? But after new-girl Madison (Erika Christensen) sets him in her sights, seducing him in the school pool, his perfect life gradually turns into a living hell.Yup, it's a teen version of Fatal Attraction, with middle-aged Michael Douglas replaced by hunk Bradford and scary Glenn Close substituted for curvaceous but clearly cuckoo Christensen. Formulaic, predictable and undemanding, there's very little here to surprise the viewer, and the ease with which Madison goes about her business requires suspension of disbelief on a massive scale; despite this, Swimfan still manages to be a fun little thriller, helped immensely by surprisingly solid performances from the young eye-candy cast and effective direction from John Polson, who at least executes his well-worn clichés with a degree of style.
View MoreI saw swim fan recently and thought it was pretty good,it plays like a teenage version of fatal attraction,good thing this guy did'nt have a pet rabbit,the cast is mostly unknowns at least to me.but the things this girl does are so mean and demented,talk about a woman scorned.the teen lead is a swim champion at his high school,has a pretty good girl girlfriend,and then comes the new girl,watch out shes got major issues. its a shame because shes so attractive,but shes also a demon child.no supernatural stuff here,but there's lots of suspense and melodrama.the only stars i recognized in this sleeper are Dan Hedaya(tightrope)and Jason Ritter(Freddy vs Jason)yes he's the son of the late John Ritter. both of these actors have small supporting roles.as for being a dead on rehash of fatal attraction,it is just that.i have to say i liked it, i would'nt call this a true horror film.it is however good suspense. 8 out of 10,swim fan rocks.
View MoreIt's a "fatal attraction" for handsome high school swimmer Jesse Bradford (as Ben Cronin) when sexy "Swimfan" Erika Christensen (as Madison Bell) can't get into her sticky locker. After Mr. Bradford helps the voluptuous Ms. Christensen get into the locker, she succeeds in getting into his swimming trunks. Bradford wants their wet encounter to remain a "one night stand", but Christensen wants more. She goes psycho. Soon, high school life for Bradford and sweet, steady girlfriend Shiri Appleby (as Amy Miller) is filled with misery and murder."Swimfan" is smoothly directed by John Polson, nicely photographed by Giles Nuttgens, and contains some engaging performances - but, the film is really very ordinary. The story misses opportunities to plot new ground. And, the "younger" performers are clearly too old to be in high school (they might have tried a "community college" setting). The supporting cast includes Richard Burton's daughter Kate (a very sweet lady), and John Ritter's son Randy (nepotism doesn't run in the Ritter family, it gallops).**** Swimfan (8/19/02) John Polson ~ Jesse Bradford, Erika Christensen, Shiri Appleby
