A homophobic remark during a TV interview jeopardizes the career of top swimmer Matthias Le Goff. The swimming association sets the condition for participation that Matthias shows that he supports a sports club for homosexuals. Specifically: he has to train water polo team The Shiny Shrimps for three months and accompany them to the Gay Games in Croatia. Formulaic and (therefore) completely predictable sports comedy full of old-fashioned stereotypes. And couldn't Govare and Le Gallo at least teach their actors the basics of water polo? Only those ridiculous swimming trunks might bring a smile.

Film that I found a bit difficult to place. Amusing to watch but sometimes cringeworthy over the top. Script and acting are also over the top, but somehow it works in this movie. Unexpected plot twist at the end.

Actually, we don't really like stereotyped gay behavior like effeminate, screaming, jumping, dancing, etc.
But in this film it is somehow brought with a nice wink.
The film looks good and flows smoothly. The players are also really trying their best.
The surroundings of Paris/France and the journey to Croatia are beautifully depicted.
Furthermore, the humor is sometimes cringeworthy, but sometimes quite fun.
Often films with homosexual subjects are heavy, difficult, annoying and negative. This film takes a more cheerful side. And that can sometimes be done.
