Swimming with Men touches on thought-provoking themes surrounding modern masculinity, but ultimately never manages to do much more than tread water.

It's a sweet idea for a comedy, and it almost convinces you that it's as funny as it wants to be...It's hard to pick what's missing, but something certainly is. Mar 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There is nothing remarkable or consequential about it, but it's not a waste of time, either. Dec 10, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The ensemble work among the group of actors in Swimming With Men is very strong, with humorous asides, joshing, and banter that feels spontaneous (they are all very funny actors). But the film doesn't invest in them emotionally. Dec 7, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Aiming for charm but instead coming across as hopelessly forced, Swimming with Men barely manages to stay afloat. Dec 4, 2018 | Full Review…

A very easy-to-watch comedy, very much in the tradition of those Ealing comedies that celebrated the English character ever-so-subtly. Mar 23, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Evidently trying (as so many movies of this ilk do) for a perky, Full Monty-type mood, Parker's latest doesn't quite get over the line, but you'll probably enjoy it anyway. Even the soggy bits. Mar 21, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…
