Review of Swimfan (2002) by Sean S — 05 Apr 2008

There are several problems with this movie. First off why does the supposedly high school hero have a muzzle that would put Homer Simpson's to shame? Isn't this why they have make-up people? Secondly the story doesn't go anywhere. Thirdly the plot is paced so a snail would sleep and it takes forever to get anywhere. Fourthly it is a real struggle to have much sympathy for the protagonist because ultimately he is mostly a douche bag. Fifthly the ending where the two lovers proclaim their love while the "psycho" slowly drowns is creepy. Sixthly how come when people go crazy they develop super ninja abilities. Seventhly....this could go on forever lets just go to what works.

....uh....Shiri Appleby is really cute and I like seeing her on screen and mostly her parts work. Also Erika Christian's character has a little bit of interest to her. Perhaps if they spent more time showing us where she is coming from and less time on the "hero" this movie might have gone somewhere.

All the stars here belong to Shiri.
