This movie came out here like 3 weeks ago and when I read the synopis it quickly called my attention. It reminded me a lot to a great film from Spain called 'Campeones', so I decided to give this one a shot.
'Le grand bain' is a film that, as many other french comedies from recent years, is really funny and cleverly written and directed. It makes you laugh hard in some ocassions, but also manages to give you a brief background of the middle aged male protagonists of the story, in order to be profound and real too, which is really good.
It also has good performances from everyone. Mathieu Amalric does a very good job as the main swimmer of the group, as well as the rest of the members of the cast. I liked a lot all of the characters and their motivations.
Really heartwarming experience. I highly recommend it if you want to have a good time at the movies, even if you're not much into foreign language features.
Enjoy!
9/10
