Swimming with Men review

Swimming with Men is harmless, entertaining fun that won't leave much of an impression.

Jason Palmer, Entertainment Focus, 6th July 2018

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 2018

Swimming With Men review

Rob Brydon's charm keeps this formulaic comedy afloat.

EIFF: Swimming With Men (30 June '18) review

Fun performances and sweet turns of narrative ... Swimming With Men is a comedic success

Swimming 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.

Ross Miller, The National (Scotland), 2nd July 2018

Swimming With Men review

Rob Brydon falls in the deep end with unfunny comedy on midlife blues.

Tilly Pearce, Metro, 2nd July 2018

Review: Swimming with Men

Rob Brydon takes the plunge in this undemanding but gamely performed dramedy.

Rob Brydon to star in new film Swimming With Men

Rob Brydon will take the lead role in Swimming With Men, a new comedy film about a man who joins an amateur synchronised swimming team.

British Comedy Guide, 2nd May 2017

On top form, this soars like an eagle above just about every other comedy and panel show on TV. In this episode Downton Abbey's Mr Carson, Jim Carter, reveals himself to be a bit of a comedy star, deadpanning a tale of how he serves the Downton cast lunch in his butler pomp when they are off duty. Meanwhile, young whippersnapper Jack Whitehall has fun with a story about a lady and his duvet "toggage". But it's Armando Iannucci's tale of a baboon and a visit to a safari park that sends everyone into surreal flights of fancy.
