I added a movie on Amazon, but haven't watched it yet. It's a snooker movie called Perfect Break. It's listed as a comedy.

Well I finally saw a pool movie worse than "Pool Hall Junkies". Found an old one from 1984 starring Johnny Cash. He should have stuck to singing. This was a truly cringe worthy movie. "The Baron and the Kid". I would however do anything to buy the pool room he was looking to buy. If I could describe what I would like to have in a pool room, that would be it.
What do "Pool Hall Junkies" and "The Baron and The Kid" have in common? Mike Massey appeared in both of them. I think these were the only two that he appeared in.

With respect if it didn't have Whoopi Goldberg in it it wasn't the absolute worst Pooh movie ever.
Mercifully, I forgot the name
Nice.Also, if we're going to talk about bad pool/snooker movies, we can't leave out this awesome scene.

Nice.
As for Kiss Shot with Whoopie Goldberg, it has a special place in my heart since I appeared in it. The tournament scene was shot in the ballroom of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. I'm one of the players in a tuxedo. I got $75/day but had to rent the tuxedo. I have never managed to watch it all the way through. KS gives me a Bacon Number of 2 since Kevin acted with the male lead of KS.
As for the Baltimore Bullet, my first reaction to it was shame and revulsion, but it's really not that bad. And you get to see a lot of the top players of the era.

It got a few 5-star reviews on Amazon. Is it really that bad??I thought you were talking about psoriasis, but no....

Yes, reviews on Amazon are really that bad. Much worse than worthless. As bad as Yelp. By contrast, Amazon has "The Hustler" as 4.6 so you should conclude that "Heartbreak" is the better movie. On IMDB "Heartbreak" is rated at 5.7/10. The actual written reviews of "Heartbreak" on IMDB are favorable.It got a few 5-star reviews on Amazon. Is it really that bad??

Watched the trailer. Doesn't look any worse than "Junkies". Other than the lion speech scene that entire movie is a waste of time.Yes, reviews on Amazon are really that bad.

So "Straight to TUBI" is the new "Straight to DVD"?It's free on TUBI tv. ...
It's a made for tv movie, what would you expect? There are WAY worse movies about pool, like "virgin pockets", "kiss shot" and others.
Watch this garbage:

Years ago I had very nice collection of pool movies. I like Johnny Cash, so I liked The Baron and the Kid.
I had a few decent movies and a very rare one titled "Chalk". It's a low budget and very dark movie. There was also The Baltimore Bullet, and one with Whoopi Goldberg, and a few more.
None have surpassed The Hustler as the best of all time.
