After a busy day for me (two trips into town and two meals out), it was time to come home and settle down on the couch. Swimming with men, is a story about middle aged accountant Eric, who is struggling with his marriage and life. So he finds himself joining a group of guys doing synchronised swimming. I did enjoy it, although it was set as a comedy, there weren't really any laugh out loud moments. The balance between drama and comedy was ok, but it was somehow lacking the magic moments or charm of a Full Monty or other ensemble comedies. It was more of a Sunday night amusement. 4/5

It sounds like the premise was better than the execution. On an episode of Saturday Night Live, Martin Short and Harry Shearer performed a skit about two men in synchronised swimming. Martin Short's character had to wear a life-jacket because he couldn't swim. Now, that was funny.
