Tribeca Film Festival 2010 - Swimming Movie - "The Swimsuit Issue"

The 2010 Tribeca Film Festival includes a Swedish synchronized swimming film of a different sort. Inspired by such pick-yourself-up Britcoms as The Full Monty and Calendar Girls, this cute comedy deftly mixes slapstick with insights on such issues as gender rivalry, homophobia, and the unfashionability of middle-aged men. Unemployed, divorced, and estranged from his daughter, Frederik (Jonas Inde) is stuck in Loserville when a botched prank gives him the idea to mold his motley buddies into Sweden's only all-male synchronized-swimming team, with the World Cup finals in Berlin as the seemingly unattainable goal (The Swimsuit Issue - Trailer - Swedish/English Subtitles). If you like the trailer, you can watch the film via Video on Demand through many local providers.
