'Swimmers' - could have made more $$ at the Box Office if...

(This is serious. I am not being flippant.)

If they had re-written it as a ghost story, with "Merrill," as a ghost. Also, they should have made it a little more upscale. Watching poor people struggle to pay their bills is not 'entertainment.' As some one else noted, "If you want reality, take the bus."

**PS. All of the actors did a wonderful job. I liked this movie, but not necessarily because of the story.
