Loading ...While it is not a guys love film. Waterguys is definitely a movie that would appeal to most guys love lovers. Waterguys is a zany, sweet comedy about a group of guys who get roped into starting a synchronised swimming team, and then have to get together a routine for an exhibition in a few weeks time! It’s fun stuff that aims low and hits hard. There are lots of great sight gags and other slapstick comedy, but there’s also an interesting love story and fantastic acting from the guys.
The film rolls along at a great pace, with Yaguchi a talented director treating us to lengthy tracking shots and other technical flourishes. The film never bores and always pleases, and as we head towards the climax, the comedy keeps coming, and the final ‘routine’ will delight you with its genius. A fun, endlessly rewatchable madcap comedy.
