Diagonaldi Very well executed

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

ekim-11 This was a wonderful movie. I thought it was hilarious beginning to the end. The formula of the movie has been done over and over again, a group of underdogs who rise to the occasion and prove all their doubters wrong. Yes it was a regular Hollywood-ish formula, but the actors were so enjoyable to watch, that it was really fresh to watch. The fact it was a story about a male synchronize swim team is already groundbreaking in my eyes. I enjoyed the facial expressions from both Sato and Suzuki during moments of disgust and surprise. And the Sea World Man is so funny. He resembles my uncle so much. I would definitely buy this movie and highly recommend it. Be forewarned, there are scenes that may offend people who aren't used to the culture of metro sexuality and/or homosexuality. If you can get past all that, you will truly enjoy this movie.

feilochai i just wanted to see aya hirayama and ended up liking the movie. i wasn't too sure if it was going to be a good movie or not but i thought i would give it a chance since it got such a good rating from IMDb. turns out that the fans were right. to me, this movie seems to be along the lines of joe dirt and school of rock. the kind of movie where the "underdogs" prevail and make a good name for themselves in the end. there was plenty of comedy throughout the whole movie. it was especially funny to see the bad guy from "azumi" act like a dork since he was such a ruthless leader in azumi. and of course, aya hirayama was looking good as always!

kalendradee I love the characters in this movie. Suzuki's the only guy left on the swim team (because its really that bad). He's on the verge of deciding he's pretty worthless when a few things happen to spice up his life. A female teacher comes to the all male school to be a swim instructor and the boys come out in drones. Haha funny part is that she didn't know it was an all boys school and she intended to start a synchronized swimming team, but that is unheard of for guys to do it - it's laughable.So there you have Suzuki, Sato a kid with an afro who claims to have dumped the basketball team to swim, Ohta the one joining the team to get buff, Kanazawa a math nerd that feels the need to learn to swim and stay afloat because of the science in it, and Saotome the guy who has an eye on one of the swim team.They have a few disasters before actually getting to the synchro performance, you watch the friendships build and good things finally happening for the misfits. It's a really enjoyable funny film.

lucasinian "Waterboys" is a comedy, a very anime-esque one too, which doesn't mean a bad thing. In fact, I liked this movie for its funny moments and wacky plot elements.The story is basically about five high school boys who decide to learn synchronized swimming, influenced by the new coach of their school's swimming team, Sakuma; An attractive young woman that is into synchro swimming. However, because of an unexpected incident, Sakuma has to go on vacation, leaving the team without supervision. With the Tadano High's summer festival coming very soon, every club from the school is preparing a special event on their own. Suzuki and friends eventually decide to organize a special sync swimming show, with the help of a dolphin trainer. Of course, this wouldn't be an interesting movie, if they didn't face some unexpected events along the way...This is a real feel-good movie that almost everyone can enjoy. Some situations are totally hilarious, reminding me of japanese anime. The five main characters couldn't be more colourful and the acting was superb as well. Shinobu Yaguchi did an awesome job directing this movie, which is a mixture of a lot of nifty elements, from the great characters to the unbelievable humorous moments, this movie is just great.I haven't watched Yaguchi's other works like Adrenaline Drive, for example, so I'm not sure how this one compares to them. But I'm sure if you like comedies and you're a bit open-minded, you'll like "Waterboys".
