Regardless of whether we’re supposed to chuckle at our hero’s crumbling sanity or empathize with his strife, it’s empty-calorie viewing designed for viewers to either mock or embrace its hijinks.

What could have been a deliciously dark satire, instead remains in the liminal space known as aggressively average.

The red herrings don’t net much of anything, except making us realize that Prinze Jr. and Potter deserve better than this.

More a stage play than a film.

The Girl in the Pool is bad, but bad in a fun sort of way. I’m not saying, “It’s so bad it’s good,” but director Dakota Gorman has accidentally found her way into getting something workable.

Rated: 5/10

If ever a film leaned into being so bad it’s good, this is certainly a contender.

This movie was so absurdly terrible that I thought it must be a parody or a dark comedy. But no. It’s just a really bad movie.

Terrible. The plot is absurd. If this script wasn’t written an apology from a man who cheated on his wife then it makes no sense at all. Lead actor was s very handsome but that’s about all that’s good.

I love Monica Potter and if she wasn't in this I'd have turned it off. It could have been a good movie, the storyline had potential to be interesting but Freddie Prinze Jr' acting was awful.

It started out too slow (l almost stopped watching) but the last third was more interesting. I doubt I'd ever want to watch it again. Give it a watch if there's nothing else on.
