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.
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.

So... Freddie Jnr looks like an old scrotem who still hasn't found a good acting school. Monica Portter left acting for a reason. Her hair extensions were almost it's own bad character. So the story. Wow wee what a total waste of time. Poor acting, lame script. Kevin Pollock whom I normally enjoy was just uninvolved in the story. 2demrional characters whom I just don't care about in the first 30 minutes and I still had another 60 minutes to go. And so I persued and boy oh boy
...do it deliver on boredom. I honestly don't know how I survived to the end. End of the day id rather drink pool water than this garbage.
Okay let's just start by saying, I knew this wouldn't be great, but I still love me some under budget movies.
Within the first 15 minutes of this...piece of work? I was already convinced it was going to be bad. Strictly based on the story line that Kevin Pollak (66) is apparently supposed to be Monica Potters father... She's 53, AND she actually looks older than him in most scenes... Him and Freddy look like they could be the same age at best... but this is the father in law? Okay...
Also, when did Freddy become so irrelevant? I guess I hadn't noticed because it's been that long since he's been in anything besides scooby-doo.
Better casting, better writing, this could have been a cheesy thriller/horror , at best. I was even underwhelmed by the ending. Next 👋

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.
