Swimming With Men review
In this likably daft Britcom, a motley group of blokes stave of their midlife crises by forming a synchronised swimming team.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 5th July 2018Swimming With Men review
Rob Brydon's charm keeps this formulaic comedy afloat.
Tom Robey, The Telegraph, 5th July 2018Review: Swimming with Men
Swimming with Men is 2018's answer to The Full Monty, with middle-aged men regaining their masculinity by engaging in something considered very unmasculine, in this case, synchronised swimming.
Emily Harrison, The Upcoming, 3rd July 2018Swimming With Men is easy to get along with
It's very easy to get along with, boasting a big heart that it wears proudly - like a particularly bright and cheery inflatable armband.

British Comedy Guide, 2nd May 2017Binging: Inside No. 9
Deft, dense writing as funny as it's surprising and darker than the inside of a cow. Kiri Pritchard-McLean could yell about Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's compendium of nightmares until her throat's raw.
Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Standard Issue, 5th January 2017A hen-tastic animated spoof of The Great Escape by the Wallace & Gromit team. It's set on Tweedys' prison camp-cum-egg farm, where the chickens plot a soaring escape over the barbed wire. Mel Gibson voices Rocky the Rooster, but the rich tone - two parts hilarity to one pathos - is set by splendid Brit comics such as Jane Horrocks, Julia Sawalha and Timothy Spall.
Paul Howlett, The Guardian, 29th December 2016Tatty Scarborough is one star of this screen version of Jim Cartwright's play about a conversationally challenged young woman who also has a belting singing voice; another is Jane Horrocks, who sounds the absolute spit of Marlene Dietrich, Shirley Bassey and Judy Garland. And Michael Caine, as the sleazy agent Ray Say, puts in a beautifully nuanced performance.
