Swimfan (2002)
Appreciate It For What It Is ...
... a fine piece of teenage-targeted filmmaking.
As I leaf through all of the negative comments regarding "Swimfan", I am left no choice but to defend the movie, not to mention teenagers in general.
The movie was CLEARLY made based on Fatal Attraction -- those of you "film buffs" who know enough about anything should recognize that director John Polson flat out ADMITTED that the movie paid homage to it (Attraction). So stop complaining.
Secondly, the movie was not made for "brain-dead" teenagers. How ignorant a comment is that? I, myself, am a teenager and relate to the movie -- not because I am brain-dead, but just because it features a highschool, a "hip" young cast and decent music. I appreciate the movie not just because two characters have sex in a swimming pool, but because it's just a decent movie to watch with a group of friends.
"Swimfan" will never be Academy Acclaimed, but that is no reason to knock it and give it ratings like 2/10 or "the worst movie ever". All of the ignorant comments are coming, perhaps, from "brain-dead" adults.
If you're young and not a critic, then watch and enjoy this movie for what it's worth, and have a good time.
Saved by the Bell: The New Class (1993)
Pure Rip-Off
The thing that made Saved By The Bell such a classic show was because it was so outlandishly stereo-typical ... but was able to get away with it. This lasted for four years of highschool, plus a year of college. Definitely a classic series.
Enter Saved By The Bell: The New Class, and any true Saved By The Bell fan will roll their eyes in disgust. SBTB: The New Class was nothing but a cheap mirror of the original series. By the time "The New Class" entered the halls of Bayside, all of the jokes have been done, and the storylines were tested. Translation: THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A NEW CLASS.
Saved By The Bell: The New Class serves so night in carrying the title of the Saved By The Bell series. I wish it was possible to easily eliminate things from memory, because Saved By The Bell: The New Class would be far gone.
