Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
OK it was a bad movie, but I finished it. Have you ever started eating some fast food that was stale and cardboard, and you don't know what it is maybe the salt, chemicals and sugar compel you to eat the whole thing? Thats the way this film is , really bad, but I watched it so have to give it more than two stars.Ben, good looking swimmer boy has cute girlfriend, but new chic comes to town. She is not that hot, but not bad either. She looks exactly like another actress, sort of a K mart version of her. The new girl puts the moves on the swimmer, not totally implausible as he looks like chicks would like him, and being attached makes him more desirable, especially to crazy chicks. This is where all plausibility ends.Next hot chic beds swimmer boy, then wont leave him alone. She has the luck of the Irish and the brains of a criminal mastermind apparently,she manages to drug, stalk and murder not only without getting caught, but also successfully frames the swimmer for the deeds. Right.The only real brains about this film were the execs who green lighted it knowing anything labeled "teen fatal attraction" would make money during the summer. The worst thing about it-preachy. Swimmers gives lecture about how is cheating father ruined his and his mom's life, so another "guys don't cheat or else" message flick. maybe it did deserve one star come to think of it.
High-school swimmer Ben Cronin (Jesse Bradford) is good looking, popular, has a pretty devoted girlfriend, Amy (Shiri Appleby), and a promising future—kinda makes you sick doesn't it? But after new-girl Madison (Erika Christensen) sets him in her sights, seducing him in the school pool, his perfect life gradually turns into a living hell.Yup, it's a teen version of Fatal Attraction, with middle-aged Michael Douglas replaced by hunk Bradford and scary Glenn Close substituted for curvaceous but clearly cuckoo Christensen. Formulaic, predictable and undemanding, there's very little here to surprise the viewer, and the ease with which Madison goes about her business requires suspension of disbelief on a massive scale; despite this, Swimfan still manages to be a fun little thriller, helped immensely by surprisingly solid performances from the young eye-candy cast and effective direction from John Polson, who at least executes his well-worn clichés with a degree of style.
This film starts out with a young guy and gal who are very much in love and both of them feel they have found their Soul Mate in life. The young man is an excellent swimmer and is looking forward to perform for some swimming coaches for various colleges and he is encouraged by his own coach.Another young gal who is very pretty and sexy seduces this young guy to have a one night stand with her and from then on the film becomes a fatal attraction situation.You will have to view this film in order to find out if the one night stand was worth starting a complete web of suspense and murder.Great entertaining film, enjoy.
This teenager 'Fatal Attraction' clone has left me torn. I really like the first part where the main character Ben is seduced by Madison; the new kid in town. Although you know straight away that she is going to seduce him you wonder whether Ben is just oblivious to this or that he does know, but that he is young and foolish, and just a man....The plot then unravels nicely and you are sucked into the story big time. Alas halfway the movies quality changes dramatically. Madison becomes from intriguing and scary to pathetic and stupid. The whole story becomes more and more unbelievable as the movie continues, which is a shame really as it started out so nicely.The acting was actually quite good. Madison (Erika Christensen) is perfectly cast as she looks seductive, innocent, bitchy and devilish at the same time. All the other actors are quite good too. In short, not too bad, but could have been a lot better.
