Swimming with Men
Eric is tired of his accountancy job and feels that his wife neither loves nor respects him. The same applies to his teenage son. When he observes a group of men practicing choreography during his usual swim training and obviously missing a member, he addresses them - and is quickly accepted into the team. Eric enjoys synchronized swimming. Together, they decide to participate in an international competition.

One can't help but feel it's a missed opportunity - not just to say something of note about masculinity, but to convey the true vagaries of middle age.

Swimming with Men wants to be The Full Monty, but despite the likeable Brydon and others, it's about as funny as a verruca.

A more likeable hero might have made us a bit more forgiving.

Unfortunately the jokes did not write themselves, and no one else got round to writing them either.

It's easy to lose patience with Eric's particular problems, the result of a lack of self-awareness.

It never outstrips The Full Monty, but for those looking for a gentle tale with an unashamedly romantic streak, this film should float your boat.

Not much in the current film makes sense.

Yes, synchronised swimming has finally got the comedy that nobody thought it needed.
July 05, 2018
It's an unusual misstep for Brydon.

Parker draws perfectly pitched performances from his well-chosen cast.
July 06, 2018
Forget diving straight into the deep end, as this is one of the most shallow comedy experiences in quite some time.

The film moves quite easily from bittersweet tones to feel-good larkiness, in jaunty but formulaic style.
