Yes, Chris Pine’s directorial debut is as bad as everyone says it is
Movie stars will literally direct a whole movie about going to therapy instead of, you know, actually going to therapy. This could be the tagline for Chris Pine ’s Poolman , a film that so deeply misunderstands what normal people like about the movies that it could have only come from someone who’s never done anything else.
Pine and Ian Gotler’s script isn’t remotely concerned with the details, and you shouldn’t be either. The only thing that matters is that it’s just like Chinatown, a reference the movie bashes over its audience’s heads so frequently that one might start to wonder if Paramount, Chinatown’s distributor, inked some sort of bizarre product placement deal with Poolman’s producers. Even though that obviously isn’t what happened, the free advertising is still coming directly out of Poolman’s pockets.
