Leave your thoughts about The Big Bad Swim.
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullthere's a little too much time paddling around in the pool when we ought to be getting to know our quiet heroes. |
| CinematicalChristopher CampbellRegardless of all the times I've desired more fresh ideas in a movie, The Big Bad Swim reminded me that sometimes characters don't require novelty as long as they feel genuine. |
| User ReviewHeather Nlooks like agreat story line cool movie :) ! |
| User ReviewDeadly VThe Big Bad Swim makes a quiet, pleasing splash |
| User ReviewGustavo Alovely, relaxing and cute little gem of independent u.s. cinema with a surprisingly strong cast. highly recommended. |
| User ReviewPatricia SA great independent film on what looks like no budget. Funny, dramatic script with an original setting that doesn't resort to gimmicks or quirkiness. Excellent acting from the leads, especially Paget Brewster and Jess Weixler. Some of the supporting cast is amateurish, but they're so sparingly used that they endear themselves to you. Music could have been a little better. |
| User ReviewStaci LA mellow, yet pleasant film with an amazing story and complex characters. The cover was misleading, but it's far from one of those self-absorbed, "look at how edgy we are" flicks. |
| User ReviewJohannes Jyet again i never saw it but plan on it. <3 |
| User ReviewKameron MIt's what an indie should be..., The Big Bad Swim had a great story that was pleasantly paced throughly enjoyable, funny, and emotional. This film just has everything I hope to see in a good indie film. I highly recommend this story about a group of people that enroll in an adult swim class. |
| User ReviewJake JMy favorite movie in a long time. I really can relate to Noah Owens, the swim instructor. Go see this movie. Rent it on Netflix. |
