   Is Poolman a bad movie?

   • But mostly the film’s attempts at off-beat humor are actively anti-funny. Poolman also features one of the worst movie soundtracks I can remember. It’s not that the various songs are bad (most are fine or even good on their own).

   Is Poolman a good movie if you're a Chris Pine fan?
