A guy gets laid-off from his job & finds a new purpose by swimming the English channel. Along the way, he confronts other personal demons and inspires those around him to confront their issues as well. By the end, everyone is crying, smiling, and wet. This wasn’t as sappy as I thought it’d be (well, at least until the end) – there was actually some interesting directing, and there were some decent scenes. But the story & writing seemed a bit contrived & formulaic at times – there really weren’t any surprises throughout. But, I’m not sure what really could have happened to fix that – it’s not like they could throw-in a bank robbery or car chase for flair. It was a fine diversion if you want to be uplifted and have a couple hours to kill.
