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.
