Swimming with Men

This wonderfully daft comedy, based on a documentary about a real-life synchronized male swim team in Sweden, could be thought of as “The Full Monty” in Speedos. A motley crew of middle-aged men  form a close friendship unusual for the male species when they decide to compete in a world championship–despite the fact that they will never be mistaken for bodybuilders. The Guardian describes their physiques as “unselfconscious moobs and guts, sagging thighs and fading tattoos.” Their unfashionable swimming caps and goggles make them look more like nerds than athletes. The team is led by the always humorous Rob Brydon as an accountant incapacitated by a midlife crisis and Rupert Graves as a smooth-talking real estate broker looking for some action after a divorce. Although he hadn’t imagined it would happen underwater, joining the team turns out for him as well as his teammates to be more gratifying than any of them could have imagined.  UK 2018 (96 minutes).
