The Girl in the Pool

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.

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 👋

This is a collage of characters you don't care about. The overacting of Freddie Prinze Jr is meant for some kind of drinking game. Like take a shot for every time he is manic on screen. It's almost embarrassing for Kevin Pollack to be in this movie. I have to credit his acting given a terrible script and no one to easily play off of.

Luckily, I can really enjoy a bad movie like this and I watched it for free on Paramount+ If you temper your expectations and can enjoy it for how bad it is, it's worth a watch.

As for people commenting about how old Freddie and Monica look, I will admit whatever this was filmed on did them no favors but I happen to really appreciate how he is let himself naturally age and Monica, while she's been injected, it's not bad at all, and think she's still gone a natural looking route. So my only criticism would be the film and lighting.

What a disappointing film. Almost similar to the Alfred Hitchcock film, Rope, but unfortunately this is laden with cringe worthy acting, bad dialogue, and a jagged storyline. It's almost as if the film had moved along several minutes without informing the audience. There were major gaps and plot holes and it was just a mess. And I didn't realise until now what a bad actor Freddie Prinze Jnr is. Looking back on the films he's been in, he acts similar in most of his movies. That kind of deer in headlights look he always has. The killer isn't much of a surprise as there weren't many suspects in the first place. A massive let down.

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.
