The stars may be college kids, but the subject matter is as adult as you can get: the temptations of the flesh are unleashed by a slightly crazed, overtly determined young woman and a one-night swim turns into an ocean of trouble.

Top CriticIf you're 16 or under, you might get a real charge out of Swimfan. Anyone over that age is likely to experience a crushing case of deja vu.

The story may not be new, but Australian director John Polson, making his American feature debut, jazzes it up adroitly.
