The idea of the film is good but probably better in the book. A man gets the brilliant idea to swim home in a neighborhood where everyone has a pool. Along the way he meets people from his life and pieces of his past reveal what has happened to him. He isn't as well liked as he thinks.
The film has many good bit parts for people playing his neighbors, among them a sensitive Joan Rivers! The photography gives a good feeling of the place but the editing is not the best. Several minutes could easily be trimmed down. The story does not say enough about the man's character or his earlier actions. The film could have been more and I understand why it was not a hit and quite forgotten until recently. Could be remade!
