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.

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 👋

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.

...but goes awry halfway.

Although Freddy Prince's performance is solid, Kevin Pollack's participation is merely testimonial, which is kind of a let down, as Monica Potter (what happened to her face?) just cannot bear the weight of improving the movie. Truth be told, all the parts were not much to begin with...

The idea is good, but it develops really bad and ends very poorly.

I must admit that I did not see it coming (good twist), but the way the story is told makes You wonder if the people (director, screenplayer and writer) knew what they were doing, because NOW I understand that their intention was to make viewers connect dots in the Guy Ritchie style (all stories and characters end up connected somehow). They fail strepitously!

The ending is bland, at best, and the feeling is that I gave away 90 minutes for nothing.
