Overall, this movie is just really not that interesting. There's some nice jokes and gags, a bit of romance, an extremely small bit of suspense... Sadly none of that can elevate the razor thin story line everything is built on.
Regardless of how weird it would be to just let someone swim 20 miles without proper preparation (let alone letting the underage daughter try the same), it also feels a bit forced; furthermore, in the end it's all just about money and disregard for the actual achievement...
Everything just flows on like a quiet river, but there is just nothing exciting or unpredictable happening.
The dream sequence is nicely done, but it's already very telling that that would be the pinnacle of this movie...
