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.

Sorry, this movie sucks

Absolutely amazing

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Going to get some presents in Birmingham for an upcoming birthday,I decided to treat myself to a visit to the oldest cinema in the UK (The Electric.) Being lucky the last two times in catching strong indie flicks, (Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool and You Were Never Really Here)I was happy to find that along with Abba-themed cocktails, an indie Comedy I've heard nothing about was screening,which led to me dipping into the pool.View on the film:Stripping the outline of The Full Monty for this adaptation of the real life Swedish Men's Synchronised Swimming team winning the World Championships, (they cameo in the movie)the screenplay by Aschlin Ditta dives into the unique "winning" status some British teams gain,where they trip at the final hurdle, but are treated like champions. Drawing British Sit-Com thumb-nail sketches of the team, Ditta spins an easy-going Comedy atmosphere linking the sports genre bonding of the team,with Scott finding fulfilment in the team work.Closing in on Scott's loneliness with stark close-ups, director Oliver Parker & cinematographer David Raedeker bring light to his life with colourful edits linked between each swim,and stylish underwater camera moves,which allows for the formation of each impressive synchronised move to be viewed. Holding the team together as his personal life goes out to sea, Rob Brydon gives a warm performance as Scott,with Brydon's breezy comedic skills making a splash, as Scott begins to swim with men.

Just been to the Premiere of this movie in Edinburgh. Went with deeply sceptical friend who was laughing out loud from about 15mins in. Great actors just having a ball with a really good script and lots of laughs.

I think the idea of the movie is nice and funny, the message too, but the realisation is poor. There is nearly no thrill, not deeper view into the single characters and some dialogs are more than cheesy. some interessting characters who telling some jokes are not enough to make a movie worth watching. wasted time.

Just watched Swimming with Men in Germany ahead of its UK release next month. Lots of laughs, good clean fun, but with an excellent message about team work and mateship. Don't let the title put you off- this is a great little gem of a film.
