 "Superb Biopic"Oct 10, 2005
By Kip Walton
While Mario Lopez and his fellow actors all do a wonderful job, the other "behind-the scenes" folks all excell as well. This is an extremely sensitive, well written, well produced, well directed piece, absolutely 1st class from the 1st note of perfect music to the last fade-out. W-A-Y too good for TV. One of those "gems" which should have found release in theatres!

Olympic Diver Greg Louganis shares his struggles and pain.Sep 02, 1999
This is a powerful movie showing the life of a man that was very much different than most Americans expected. It brings up many issues hardly talked about in today's society, from homosexuality in sports to living with AIDS. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of Greg's or just likes a good movie. I guarantee by the end of the movie, any doubts about Greg's character will have vanished.

A SAD STORY BUT MARIO LOPEZ WAS SUPERB!Nov 05, 2006
By S. Clarke
"frogclaw"
This was a very sad story with both tears and joy. Greg's youth was not what I would call perfect, but he made it through. Mario Lopez's portrayal of the famous Olympian was superb! He needs to be recognized for the excellent actor that he is. If I could have given it 10 stars, I would have.

Must seeJun 28, 1999
"Breaking The Surface" is a great movie. It brings gay awarness and awarness of HIV/AIDS out into the open. It has a good flow to it and is very well done.
