"The Big Bad Swim" I'd never heard of - all the better. Aside from the a few poor music video moments, the movie has some good writing and down to earth scenes which entertained well. (spoiler) The movie doesn't quite make it out of some clichéd territories, for instance with an awful superficial character supposedly trying to date the lead swim instructor - obviously thrown in as a plot device. Nonetheless it perseveres across 90 minutes. The movie seemed to be filmed on a slim budget, but that doesn't stop some fairly interesting performances and off-beat range. Indeed at the heart, it's a movie of friendship and romance. Dialog is sometimes well-reflective. At one point, I thought the movie could use some greater development and introspection, but perhaps that would kill the lighthearted mood. Note, I enjoyed the dog subplot. Recommend a watch.
