    I can distictly remeber watching the Olympics when Greg Louganis hit his head on the diving board, and I remember how shocked we all were. Add in the fact that he's gay and I was curious about his story. Plus, I was a diver myself.

    I'm not sure if Breaking the Surface is a L...( read more)ifetime Movie or not. I'm gonna say no, but it has that same feel. And Mario Lopez clearly got the part for his looks, so be prepared to annoying by his "acting".

    But if you want to see this, you won;t care about any of those shortcomings. This is for fans of Greg Louganis.
