   Is 'Poolman' a bad movie?

   • So I take no vicious pleasure in saying that “Poolman,” a movie that Pine co-wrote, directed, and stars in, is not only the worst film I saw during the fall festival season but would likely be one of the worst films in any year it came out.

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

   • If you’re a Chris Pine super-fan looking to live inside the actor’s head for a little while, Poolman just might be for you. But if you’re pretty much anyone else—even someone looking for some so-bad-it’s-good fun—take a lesson from the walkouts and stay out of the splash zone.

   Does Poolman read a movie if Abed didn't understand the movie?

   • Poolman reads kind of like an episode of Community if Abed didn’t actually understand any of the movies he referenced. Pine stars as Darren Barrenman (get it? “Barren Man”?), a “long-haired manchild” who talks and dresses like a fifth grader and writes daily letters to Erin Brockovich ( not Julia Roberts) on his typewriter.

   Is Poolman a comedy-noir?

   • Chris Pine has managed to float above so many Hollywood pitfalls with impeccable style. And yet Poolman is a comedy-noir that aims to lampoon the excesses and eccentricities of Hollywood (or, more broadly, Los Angeles) but fails to thrill or amuse — or give fans much of an insight into the mystery man behind it.

   Is Poolman an inside joke?

   • And as such, we, the audience are always treated as outsiders. In the end, Poolman plays an inside joke that never let its audience inside. Poolman was reviewed out of its world premiere at 2023's Toronto International Film Festival. Kristy Puchko is the Film Editor at Mashable.

   Are there any good actors in 'Poolman'?

   • There are good actors who get pulled into the hollow maelstrom of “Poolman,” like Annette Bening and Danny DeVito, acting as broadly as they can as the apartment dwellers who are Darren’s parent figures.

   May 10, 2024 · There are arguments and some treachery and one murder, but the killing so formal, in an old-movie way, that it barely registers as being violent. Most of the movie is laid-back or mildly farcical. No, the film is weird in the sense of “Can anyone but Chris Pine truly appreciate this?”

    Sep 18, 2023 · Chris Pine's debut film as a director, Poolman, received a terrible reception at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. The film is described as an unfunny spoof of neo-noir thrillers with poor execution, hazy direction, messy storytelling, and unbearable dialogue.
