(1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 13% Rotten Page   1   "Because of an unnecessary and clumsy last scene, 'Swimfan' left me with a very bad feeling."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 1.5/5 "About as edgy as tapioca"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "Careless and exploitative as it is, Swimfan's greatest offense may be that it offers so little to its target adolescent audience."   Nitrate Online   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "A technically well-made suspenser...but its abrupt drop in IQ points as it races to the finish line proves simply too discouraging to let slide."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C- "This is a movie trying to convince you it's suspenseful when it's actually anything but."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "This movie is called SWIMFAN!!!"   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C- "It is no worse than the average of the genre, but it is one of the most unremarkable, garden-variety installments I've seen."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "Australian director-actor John Polson commits a belly flop in the troubled waters of creativity with his new teenybopper psychological thriller Swimfan...manufactures some otherwise pedestrian thrills and chills."   TheWorldJournal.com   Frank Ochieng D "A waterlogged version of 'Fatal Attraction' for the teeny-bopper set...a sad, soggy potboiler that wastes the talents of its attractive young leads."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/10 "Nothing comes as a surprise, and viewers will be pondering how certain things managed to occur -- especially involving the villain's apparent super-human strength."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "Some may call it... a guilty pleasure!!"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/10 "...fifty minutes of tedious adolescent melodramatics followed by thirty-five minutes of inflated nonsense."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "I abhor cautionary tales that necessitate the characters be dumber than doorknobs. Those people deserve what they get. It's called natural selection."   Light Views   John Larsen 3/5 "Take a life jacket."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 3/5 "Silly empty fun with interesting editing and delicious hunky Jesse Bradford."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2/5 "Derivative, predictable and entirely forgettable, the sort of low-expectations genre picture that generally goes directly to video."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Looking at it solely as a teen movie, it is a cut above the rest, but there are elements here that should be appreciated on their own merits."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 1/5 "Bradford spends the entire film with an Andrew Shue-ish sullen, slack-jawed expression, but even that's more than what the bland Appleby brings to her doormat role."   Film Threat   Michael Dequina 2.5/4 "If 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."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2/5 "Haven’t we all seen this already? Many times? Too many times?"   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2.5/5 "If only the filmmakers had resisted the urge to go down the well-worn Hollywood thriller path."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 0.5/4 "I hate this movie"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 5/10 "Shoddy."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 0.5/4 "Dialogue so deadening and repetitive that it takes on the cadence of MAD Magazine set to a Gregorian chant."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 13% Rotten Page   1
