Well… this is an idea that someone thought was going to
work: Make a movie based on a self-help book that, for those who even remember
it in the first place, was met with meme status on initial release and has
stayed there ever since. Book-to-film adaptations are usually iffy at the best
of times purely because of the adaptation process, so you can imagine
the hill that needs to be climbed to inject cinematic narrative into something
objectively plotless.

Poms (2019) - Movie Review
As someone who frequently watches and reviews all manner of
films on this blog, the first question in response to most if not all of them
is fairly straight-forward: Who was this made for? Whether it was made with my
suburban early-20’s demographic in mind or otherwise, who is a given film meant
to appeal to? More to the point, is it any good at doing the appealing? Today’s
film is a relatively simple answer to that, the older demographic, but that
question nonetheless persists because, frankly, I’m not even sure if the
filmmakers themselves knew who they were aiming for.
