Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
lulamorashi I watched this movie in my year 11 (tenth grade) Japanese class, and we found it absolutely fantastic. Of course, like many "sillier" comedies it made absolutely no sense in some parts (e.g. The swimming teacher: "It turns out I'm eight months pregnant! I thought I was just gaining weight!" I'm glad there is no dubbed version as that would have killed it completely. It is very crazy and much of the comedy comes from sheer silliness or slapstick- acting not so good but this is more or less disregarded and often adds to the comedy.If you're looking for Friday night fun with boys with killer Dance Dance Revolution moves and a run like Napoleon Dynamite, this is your movie.
feilochai i just wanted to see aya hirayama and ended up liking the movie. i wasn't too sure if it was going to be a good movie or not but i thought i would give it a chance since it got such a good rating from IMDb. turns out that the fans were right. to me, this movie seems to be along the lines of joe dirt and school of rock. the kind of movie where the "underdogs" prevail and make a good name for themselves in the end. there was plenty of comedy throughout the whole movie. it was especially funny to see the bad guy from "azumi" act like a dork since he was such a ruthless leader in azumi. and of course, aya hirayama was looking good as always!
nakataohana This is a light hearted comedy of 5 young men in their last year of (boys only) high school who sign up for a swim team under the direction of a new female coach. The 5 young men who have seen themselves fail in other traditional sports, discover their strengths and overcome weaknesses in their pursuit to participate as a synchronized swim team at their school festival.The plot had unexpected twists and turns that kept me laughing as new elements, such as the new girlfriend, a trainer who used non-traditional methods, an unexpected pregnancy, drag queens, and a girls high school were added. In Japan, synchronized swimming is normally seen as a women's sport.It was a very enjoyable movie!
Havan_IronOak Five adorable and well-meaning misfits at a Japanese high school try to organize a synchronized swimming team, but their early efforts at a routine end in disaster. They persevere, and with the help of a Dolphin Trainer from the local aquarium they eventually get it right and earn the respect of their peers.
