It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

High school student Ben Cronin (Jesse Bradford) works hard swimming with a Stanford scout coming. His sweet girlfriend Amy Miller (Shiri Appleby) keeps him away from his checkered past of drug and stealing. He works at the hospital with his single mom. Madison Bell (Erika Christensen) is the new girl in school. She gets on Ben's mind and they have one night in the swimming pool. They agree to stay friends but Madison seems to have something else in mind. Madison befriends Amy and things get uncomfortable for Ben.It's Fatal Attraction for teens. It takes way too long to get going and is far too slow. There is no surprises and no originality in this bland thriller. There is no tension at all. Jesse Bradford is playing a weak character which kind of fits. Erika Christensen has a cold determination and cool demeanor about her. She is definitely beautiful enough to catch anybody's eyes. It is probably a mistake to have cousin Christopher Dante. The point is to isolate Ben till he has nobody to rely on. It's a problem for him to have an ally. There is just nothing special in this movie and the ending is way too convoluted.

I saw swim fan recently and thought it was pretty good,it plays like a teenage version of fatal attraction,good thing this guy did'nt have a pet rabbit,the cast is mostly unknowns at least to me.but the things this girl does are so mean and demented,talk about a woman scorned.the teen lead is a swim champion at his high school,has a pretty good girl girlfriend,and then comes the new girl,watch out shes got major issues. its a shame because shes so attractive,but shes also a demon child.no supernatural stuff here,but there's lots of suspense and melodrama.the only stars i recognized in this sleeper are Dan Hedaya(tightrope)and Jason Ritter(Freddy vs Jason)yes he's the son of the late John Ritter. both of these actors have small supporting roles.as for being a dead on rehash of fatal attraction,it is just that.i have to say i liked it, i would'nt call this a true horror film.it is however good suspense. 8 out of 10,swim fan rocks.
