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.

It's a thriller suspense type movie with some dark comedy elements. Freddie Prinze Jr. Is the main character that gets in trouble and he tries to wiggle his way out of it.
The plot is very thin, nothing special but the dialogues are good. The writing is actually elevating this to a decent movie. The acting is solid especially from the veteran actors.
The budget isn't the highest, in terms of production it's nothing special, it's a one location movie happening in one fancy house but it's not like a higher budget was necessary for the story.
It's one of those movie where time flies watching it, the pacing is great. I was entertained. Not a movie you will remember 2 weeks later but nothing that will bore you.

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 👋

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.
