Swimming with Men Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
blauregenbogen I love British reality of life and the sense of humour. We all have to find out a purpose in your life and then enjoy the moment
domtaylor It's not exactly funny (I chuckled maybe twice), yet there's some fun to be had while watching this low-budget British comedy. Perhaps it's the cast full of famous British faces, who all try their best to add some energy to their blandly written and generic characters (Daniel Mays is a stand-out). Maybe it's due to the surprisingly solid direction by Oliver Parker, who adds a visual flair to the film and uses good editing and transitions to effectively tell the generic story. Possibly it's because of the original story (meaning the idea of a film about a group of male synchronised swimmers, and by no means the actual narrative which was completely predictable). I can't quite place my finger on why I didn't not like the film, but I can say with confidence that I had a fairly good time while watching and, while I will never watch it again, it was a good way to spend the afternoon. 6/10
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Swimming With Men (2018)' isn't really all that funny and makes a number of missteps, mostly relating to the validity of its central 'struggle' and its overall resolution regarding everything other than its eponymous activity. These issues add to a general sense of banality, that is in itself only really reduced by the initial 'uniqueness' of the central conceit - one that soon becomes a very standard 'home away from home', self-discovery sort of scenario. There's also overall likability that makes even the most uninspired of moments seem somewhat worthy of watching (if only to give them the benefit of the doubt). The movie is never bad but it is never particularly good either, finding its footing as a suitably floaty and often pleasingly pleasant picture that fails to really drag you into the depths it simply doesn't have. It manages to usually be fairly enjoyable while it gives you glimpses of something just under the surface, though, something that adds this slight air of authenticity to its mostly realistic characters and mid-life crisis narrative. It's one that is pretty sad, almost dark, at its heart and ostensibly only uplifting because films of this kind essentially have to be (almost to the detriment of believability, in this case). However, I didn't expect much more and so I wasn't disappointed. 5/10
andyge This is definitely a mainstream film with its eyes firmly on the box office... and there is nothing wrong with that!! It is to some extent comedy by numbers and you mayfeel manipulated and as if you have seen something similar before... however Aschlin Ditta does give the story some updated twists not least using synchronised swimming as the subject. This is reliable entertainment and there are a number of laugh out loud moments.The director Oliver Parker is a safe pair of hands and does bring some freshness and originality to the production. Great interaction between the actors especially Brydon, Mays,Graves, Carter,Akhar and Turgoose... although both Horrocks and Riley are wasted.There is a serious message in there about male loneliness and support but I would just go along and enjoy. A feelgood movie that should do well !
