CALL ME SNAKE

I don't normally rent a movie from the video store that I haven't heard anything about. And I didn't do that tonight, although I came close. A couple of weeks ago, I pulled "Big Bad Swim" off the shelves and got curious about it. I found some reviews (favorable) online and kept it in mind. One of the reviews said something to the effect that no one would see this movie--as it lacks any big-name stars or even little-name stars--which was a shame. And it is a shame as it is nicely written and quite enjoyable. Who would have figured a movie about an adult swim class could be so much fun? A movie about handball or volleyball maybe, but adult swimming? Yet it really works.

I suppose that most people will never hear of this movie and fewer still will see it but if one person does as a result of this post I will consider writing it five minutes well spent.
