Poolman (2023)
An LA love story

Chris Pine put together a quirky, meandering shaggy dog story that gushed with reverence for the City of Angels. His character's circle of friends have his back as he dives into the noirish world of a complex city. It is also about finding family wherever we can. The movie has a heart and soul. The plot line was flimsy. That's the point. I loved the references to other LA-based movies with sun-soaked protagonists who are in over their heads. I'll be watching it again to look for more obscure references. Poolman is not a Marvel mega-pic. It's a weird, jazzy homage to a city that is always changing its skin and costumes. That's why I love Poolman and the City of Los Angeles!
