The Girl in the Pool

I usually like this type of suspenseful drama but this was by far one of the worst movies I have ever watched! I actually paid $4.99 to view it or I would have turned it off at the start. The acting is awful, the plot is ridiculous and the directing is even worse. I don't understand how anyone could have liked this. The premise being that a man's mistress comes to his home for his birthday. No one is home so he decides to do things with her out by the pool - what??? The storyline is completely ridiculous and the further you watch the worse it gets. Wh can't American producers make movies and show like the British.

Starts weak but makes more sense later.

Should have been a comedy then it would make more sense.

A man is having a midlife crisis , and having an affair. He finds a girl in a pool and tries to hide her body before his family finds out....

Film would be ok if it was an outright comedy like horrible bosses or something that style.

As a serious film it failed in my opinion.

The main characters friends talk in a very odd way , none of them makes sense and none are normal people. Therefore should be a comedy with so much going on in the background.

Whoever wrote a dialogues for this please find a different job. No human being talks like that ....like ever. If you write a dialogue try and make sense out of your characters behaviour (like their friends should be fitting the main characters personality.... please remember not everyone is on drugs whilst watching films.

Freddie and I are the same age. Why does he look 100? Perhaps he's still dealing with all the crap that happened in his little seaside town.

I can't really understand the plot of this film. But there's Kevin Pollak to add some levity, so that's good, right?

I'm sitting here counting all of the white hairs on Freddie's chinny chin chin and I think, They can't bring the third I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER film soon enough. We need Ray and Julie to get hot and heavy -- ASAP!

Where's Jennifer Love Hewitt when you need her? She could've advised Mr Prinze to throw this script in the bin and wait for I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST WINTER.

A faux, joyous surprise Birthday Party reveals adultery and a dead mistress as an unexpected gift is the story of this Lifetime Movie Like film. The film stars Freddie Prinze Jr (Thomas), Monica Potter (Kristen), Gabrielle Haugh (Hannah), Tyler Lawrence Gray (Alex), Brielle Barbusca (Rose), Kevin Pollack (William). With a great cast like that you expect a really good film, but it goes to show you great actors can't produce with a poor script, and poor direction which is such a shame. Just when a scene in the film wasn't too bad, a bad scene that made you question and think to yourself, what were they thinking?? It's so so at best.

This is my first review here. I watch a lot of movies and especially like smaller films. I saw this and thought I'd give it a try. It was billed as a drama suspense movie, but I found it rather entertaining in a dark comedy kind of way. Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character, Thomas, finds his mistress dead in his backyard pool. Not knowing how it happened, he stuffs her corpse in a storage container. Hours later, his wife throws him a surprise birthday party. Tom attempts to put on a happy face but fails miserably. I liked that this movie wasn't too long and never found myself bored. There were a couple of parts that I found hard to believe, but it didn't matter to me because I never took the film too seriously.
