Swimming with Men (12a)

Director Oliver Parker. Drama/Comedy


Feel-good larkiness in jaunty but formulaic style. Accountant Eric is simply treading water when he discovers a newfound sense of purpose thanks to an unexpected source: a group of similarly stuck-in-a-rut guys who have found camaraderie through synchronized swimming. Sure, they may be a bit paunchy, but they're determined to prove they have what it takes to be a whirling, twirling, scissor-kicking aquatic dream team.

Starring Rob Brydon, Charlotte Riley, Rupert Graves, Jim Carter, Daniel Mays, Nathaniel Parker, Thomas Turgoose, Jane Horrocks


Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

Wonderful film, pleasant, sad, funny, fairly predictable but enjoyable and lifting story.

People said they hadn't laughed so much in years. Great moral story for people with emotional stress, great bonding of such varied characters. Brilliant.

Very good reaction from audience throughout the film.
