Poolman

About This Movie

So, 'Poolman' is a quirky blend of comedy and mystery, featuring Darren Barrenman, who’s this relentless optimist. He’s just looking after the pool at the Tahitian Tiki, but there’s more under the surface, pun intended. The film captures that laid-back Los Angeles vibe, yet it’s layered with social commentary that feels fresh and timely. The pacing is kind of relaxed, but it builds intrigue as Darren dives deeper into his surroundings. There’s a playful use of practical effects that adds a nice touch to the visuals. The performances have this charming off-kilter quality, particularly from the lead, who brings a lot of warmth. It's got a distinctive tone that balances humor and a bit of mystery, which makes it stand out.
