The Girl in the Pool review spectacularly schlocky hide-a-body murder mystery
Briefly

The film presents a mixed genre experience, flirting between dark comedy and thriller, while struggling to define its core message about relationships and infidelity.
Freddie Prinze Jr.'s performance as Thomas carries a humorous weight, portraying a character who repeatedly insists, 'I’m going to fix this,' despite escalating chaos around him.
The narrative unfolds with amusing irony as Thomas, in panic, disposes of the evidence including his girlfriend's phone, symbolizing his underlying cluelessness.
Though the characters lack depth, the film’s awareness of its absurdity, accentuated by its schlocky premise, provides a form of entertainment that keeps audiences engaged.
