Let’s swim some funny and melancholy laps. The look of the independent comedy “Pools” is as bright in yellows as a Wes Anderson movie. It even has the zoom-in and zoom-out of […]
Pools
Splitsville
An open-relationship comedy with big laughs and a lot of spouses. If you recall “The Climb,” Michael Angelo Covino told Kyle Marvin that he slept with his fiancée during their bike ride. […]
