Hot Water

In this crazy world, it helps to be entertained. This movie gives you laughs with incredible jet ski action. The stunts are powerful! The sweet love story reminds you of the innocence of youth and brings a smile to your face. A much needed breath of fresh air from all the negativity in the world!

Allow me a moment to wipe the drool from my mouth...

'Hot Water' clearly is a low budget movie with B-movie acting, but where the film lacks in this department, the eye candy sure enough compensates for any shortcomings (erm, no connotation of any kind here in context...). The toned bodies are soft on the eyes, and certainly a pleasure to look at.

Back to the story. The film is about jet skier Billy Burnett (Glenn McCuen), who obviously has the skills, but lacks discipline and determination. His friend Danny (Max Adler) arranges for Billy to be coached by ski champion Jarid Harper (Trevor Donovan).

What follows, is a pretty predictable and somewhat cheesy story which involves jealousy, love, envy, and the usual traits associated with a sports movie of this caliber. For a low budget movie, the camera work and jet ski stunts are awesome! The film also has a good, thumping soundtrack guaranteed to get your feet tapping and have you swaying in your seat.

Unfortunately, the film in general wasn't all that captivating. A great deal of the film is taken up by trivial and pointless comedic moments. The plot is extremely thin and the love story felt forced for the sake of having a romantic interest. If it wasn't for the eye candy and the jet ski stunts, 'Hot Water' would have been ultimately forgettable. Ok, I must add, I liked the ending.

Would I watch it again? No.

Some may have found the scene with the dinosaur somewhat funny. I did, but there was nothing else in the entire rest of the movie anyone could honestly say deserved more than even a slight chuckle. Someone needs to correct the list under Genre so it reads Sports-Drama-Sadness because one 'sort of funny' scene does not make a comedy movie. All you do is feel sorry for the boy until near the end of the movie. The racing was okay and because of that I gave this movie a 4.

Not fun no real review. Totally boring. Sport not Sport, comedy not comedy.

You can always tell when the cast, production crew, or friends of the film makers review their CRAP movies (see a couple of the other reviews). IF this movie is a 9 or 10 stars (as they gave it), then a movie like Gone With the Wind, Sound of Music, Oliver, or any ACTUAL very highly rated movie would be about 9,999,999 stars. The ONLY way this movie deserves a 9 or 10 star rating is if the highest possible rating is 10,000,000. THEN the 9 or 10 MIGHT be accurate. Plotless, pointless, pathetic. Go rent a copy of the 1988 movie "Hot To Trot" with Bobcat Goldthwait. Watch this first, then "Hot To Trot" WILL seem like a 10 of 10!
