Title: Another bland teen movie...
Product review: "Swimming" only succeeded in one area: showing the boredom of small town life. However, the acting ranged from over-the-top charicatures (Nicola and the Hawaiian boyfriend) to bland underacting (Lauren Ambrose & the rest of the cast). While Ambrose's attempt was noble, for the most part she gave an one-dimensional performance. The directing was okay if somewhat hoaxy and limited at times (I guess I just wanted more). The writing was probably the most horrible part to the movie. There were so many plot holes that caused me to ask, "What was the point of that?" In the end, "Swimming" is an okay movie to waste sometime with, but don't expect to find any meaning or profound performances. "Swimming" is just like Myrtle Beach, nothing really happens.
