Synopsis:
Faced with a full-blown mid-life crisis, accountant Eric (Rob Brydon) joins an all-male group of synchronised swimmers, discovering that making patterns in a pool can, for a couple of hours at least, smooth out the bumps in his work and marriage. Initially keeping their personal lives in the locker, the ramshackle squad and coach Susan (Charlotte Riley) slowly learn to reveal their inner lives, as well as their paunches. But can they get their lives and routines in sync as they embark on an unlikely journey to Milan to compete in the World Championship?

Funny, daft Brit-flick - like The Full Monty in water! Goes on too long though. - Swimming with Men review by PV

Spoiler Alert
16/04/2019

This film starts well - the first half hour is a joy. Typically British in that the Rob Bryden hero is a loser character - that just isn't an American thing, but more British than a cup of tea.

Like The Full Monty or Reggie Perrin in water then, with some well-known British actors starring and some great lines.

It does go on too long and has to force in a love angle, of course; the female trainer also gets very irritating.

But all in all, watchable and good clean fun! 3 stars.

Will have you smiling - Swimming with Men review by TB

Spoiler Alert
23/07/2019

I was so close to giving this film a four because it had me smiling throughout.

As has been said in other reviews; the film is literally the The Full Monty but in the swimming pool. All of the characters are excellent with their own personal stories that fit into why these misfits fitted together and rehabilitated each other. It’s a really enjoyable and fun film to watch.

Just doesn't work - Swimming with Men review by KF

Spoiler Alert
22/02/2020

What a strange film. Obviously not meant to be taken seriously but I didn't find it comedic. Dialogue humour was lacking and the situation comedy was uninspired. Not helped by discovering Rob Bryden has a previously unsuspected flair for portraying melancholy. Angst ridden tedium.
