When her plans are suddenly changed, she makes an impulsive detour to a small Canadian town, where she meets local lifeguard Blake (Robbie Amell). After he saves her from nearly drowning at a beach party, Blake offers to teach Waverly to swim, and as the lessons continue, the two unexpectedly find themselves falling in love. But will Blake's ties to his past and Waverly's plans to begin a new job keep them apart once summer ends? Based on the novel by Kate Marchant.

So if I were to have never read the book this is adapted on, then I would think this is a great little chick flick. However, this is a movie that is based upon a book (one of my summery favs) and they switched up the entire plot, characters, development, etc. I was truly disappointed while watching this because of how different it was. This movie was sort of bland and cold but if you were to watch this, I wouldn't recommend having too high expectations when it comes to an accurate book adaptation.

Austin Chronicle

Float rises higher than expectations due in part to the delicate cinematography by Alfonso Chin, and by the additions in LaVercombe and Lee's script.

Rated: 3/5

I didn't think they had a whole lot of chemistry, which is a problem for a movie like this.

Stephanie Archer

Film Inquiry

While it initially starts in a relatable sense to the audience, it loses much of its authenticity and charm in the lackluster filler and predictability, drowning with no chance of rescue.

Common Sense Media

As a movie, however, the bows are all tied up a little too neatly, and the romance, while between two twenty-somethings, still gives off first-love vibes.

Bang does what she can with the material, but is left drowning in cliches.

Float disrupts the romance formula in all the best ways to create a romance that everyone can relate to.
