WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
Mild-mannered accountant Eric (Brydon) is desperate to win back his wife Heather (Horrocks), and finds an unlikely way to do so: by joining a local male synchronised swimming team. As he dives into his training, Eric develops a surprising comradery with his fellow swimmers as they train for the world championships in Milan…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
Described as The Full Monty in Speedos, Swimming With Men is an uproarious and ultimately heartwarming film about brotherhood and finding self-confidence… which in this case happens to involve making patterns in the water with other male swimmers.
