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.

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 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.
