andrew H @andrew512 6 days ago i would never recommend this movie to anyone, it would be murder, your brain will explode from the stupidity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the acting is horrible, the plot is cheesier and has more holes than Swiss cheese, the cinematography, directing, and all that other shit is all grade f, for f**ked up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! literally the plot is American girl goes to Australia teaches a bunch of guys and falls in love with a 'handsome' Australian guy, come on, literally who made this movie, horrible. very disappointed that i watched it, it was a waste of time. i don't even know why i watched it, i hate sports movies with the white hate from hell.

In the meantime she's oh-so cute, and this film with a slightly below average budget was formulaic but uplifting, sweet and funny. See more Victor O @RT45890256 May 25, 2023 I'm slowly and steadily becoming a fan of Peyton R. List, so in my recommendations list, this happens to show up. I didn't think much about it, but I decided to check it out. I am glad that I did, as this was a decent film. Claire Carpenter is an accomplished swimmer, but after an embarrassing incident, she is forced to accept her glory days are behind her. But her equally accomplished father will not allow her to waste her summer in apathy, so he sends her to train a swim team in Australia. At first, it only seems to continue her apathetic attitude, but over time she begins to adjust, make friends, and find a new sense of purpose. All of it leads to a finale that brings her redemption. I am truly enjoying Peyton R. List as an actress, and this adds a more than welcome notch to the list of movies I have enjoyed with her so far. A good movie, fun for the whole family. See more Sean S @RT99571076 Apr 11, 2023 The best part of this movie is the beautiful locations it shows. I respect the fact that they tried to make a coming-of-age movie centered around swimming. See more Jun 7, 2021 As a swimmer, I went into this movie thinking I was going to like it. However the acting is horrible, the cinematography is laughable and you're probably going to have a better time watching a Michael Phelps documentary than this.
