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

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

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.

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.
