Well it does pretty much what it says on the can, repetitively, and to be honest once you’ve seen some scantily clad beauty leap from a 33 foot diving board replete with some sexist commentary, then you’ve seen them all. Perhaps the most remarkable things here are: a fella diving onto a trampoline s ... uspended over the pool then on for a splash; some fairly stable slo-motion coverage as they leap off an huge dock gate and into the Panama Canal and then the three year old Duncan - replete with his own monogrammed swimming trunks, who takes to the board and the water like a natural. There is room here for a quirkier comedy, maybe even a Pete Smith, because otherwise it’s all a bit wet.
