'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

Feel good film, no message other than if you support each other you can achieve anything. Great cast, some real laug out loud moments.

I tend not to like British cinema, the movies have a nasty habit of following certain formulas I can't abide including trying to turn criminals into protagonists and most of those are on show here. Based loosely on a true story it tells the tale of a man suffering from a mid-life crisis who joins a mens synchronized swimming team (As you do). Starring Rob Brydon, Jim Carter, career villain Nathaniel Parker and the always likeable Jane Horrocks it has no shortage of talent and they certainly make the most of the script. It's a feel good affair, another underdog tale with goofy characters and just enough blend of comedy and drama. The trouble is as mentioned it suffers with many British cinema tropes and that really damaged the film, some of it's structure is baffling, the "Lovable rogue" criminal protagonist never sits right with me and the ending felt rushed. I get the appeal of Swimming with Men, it'll appeal to the very same people who enjoyed the Full Monty (1997) and Brassed Off (1996). For me it's flawed but charming. The Good: Competent cast A few laughs to be had The Bad: Thomas Turgoose Oddly structuring in places

A lovely movie focusing on the importance of friendship and getting out of your comfort zone.

A swift and arguably quite touching film, I was pleasantly surprised by the content. Great characters and an oddly interesting story there's a lot on offer here, similar to the likes of Hot Fuzz in terms of quality and rewatch value it feels like there's plenty to see and quite a lot put across in roughly 90 minutes. At its core a message regarding male mental health it's not only a decent quality film but arguably a quite important one that is well worth a watch

The movie says it's based on a true story but just right until the end when we see it is actually a true story :D :D The story itself is inspirational and purposeful .. the script was a synchronized balance between comedy, drama and bit of romance ... Aschlin Ditta is pone brilliant talent and it just took ma back ages when i knew he was one of the writers on "The Catherine Tate Show" ... wow .. been long time... final thought ... the movie is a really good movie with a good story and a lot of fun .. Recommended.

It was like watching "The full Monty" again, but not quite as clever and not as fresh. It was so predictable. The last scene was just embarrassing it was so contrived. MY regret was spending $6.99 to watch this dog (sorry to all of my dog friends).

Light hearted but with a serious message about male loneliness and divorce.spotted Wandsworth town hall and Tooting bec lido. Also Croydon clocktower. But which pool was used? Chuckled a bit.

What an absolutely delightful film! If you want to see a feel-good movie of note, this is a very good choice - especially if you're middle-aged! Rob Brydon was excellent as Eric, a middle-aged man who's monotonous life is falling apart, and accidentally stumbles upon a way to feel good about himself again, and to escape from reality. This new life is beautifully filmed in contrast to his ordinary existence. The film features stunning imagery during his 'escape from reality' moments - especially the underwater scenes. This is a beautiful, funny, uplifting film that will resonate with me for years to come, and one that I'm bound to watch again and again. The film also has a great soundtrack and score. LOVED it!

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 !
