Chris Pine’s ‘Poolman’ Got ‘F—ing Panned’ So Much That He Thought ‘Maybe I Did Make a Pile of S—‘; But He Refuses to Accept That: ‘I Love This Film’


Chris Pine refuses to believe he made a dud of a movie after critics panned his directorial debut "Poolman."

Making the press rounds to support the “Poolman” theatrical release, Pine stopped by the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast and refused to believe that he made a complete dud of a movie. “Poolman” stars Pine opposite Annette Bening, DeWanda Wise, Stephen Tobolowsky, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Danny DeVito and more. Gleiberman wrote in Variety review: “The actor plays a dud of a Dude in a movie he directed that’s all whimsical non-jokes and wispy warped dialogue that goes nowhere.”
