Take any Micky and Judy movie.. Add water and five Japanese schoolboys..., 26 November 2001
9/10
Author: Havan_IronOak from NYC

Five adorable and well-meaning misfits at a Japanese high school try to organize a synchronized swimming team, but their early efforts at a routine end in disaster. They persevere, and with the help of a Dolphin Trainer from the local aquarium they eventually get it right and earn the respect of their peers.
