Pool Boys

A bold statement, I know, but absolutely true. The Pool Boys rocks. I haven't laughed this hard in a film since the original Will Farrell's Anchorman.

It's in the style of the great Animal House, a film that knows how to go for it, holding nothing back. The dialog is fun, the performances are awesome, and the women are spectacular.

Rachelle Lefevre, in particular, is fantastic. So sexy and funny, she's now a series regular on CBS's A Gifted Man.

Its playing on Movies On Demand, so you can catch it with ease. Check out their red band trailer on You Tube and The Pool Boys Facebook page.

There are subtle differences but is essentially a copy of Risky Business. Therefore it is entertaining as booby movies go. I would watch Risky Business before watching this. The movie is billed as a comedy but you will not get many laughs but the idea is interesting and seeing how it plays out. The acting is ok and so is the production. The writing and scores are not bad either. If you have some time to kill give this a watch, it's not quite a popcorn movie but you won't feel like you wasted your time. Don't overthink it and let it do it's best to entertain you on a lazy Saturday afternoon....

This movie is good entertainment, but it doesn't really bring about many laughs.

I was expecting something maybe in the likes of the American Pie movies or such, given the title of the this particular movie and the fact that it was labeled as a comedy.

The story was adequate, but the acting was good. For me, this movie failed to make me laugh, though it was basically funny throughout the movie, just not to the point where you laugh. It drew forth a couple of smiles, that was about it.

Despite the failure to make me laugh, I still found the movie to be good entertainment. I think this movie is perhaps one such movie that is best watched while nurturing a hang-over.

I really like Matthew Lillard. He's the kind of actor that just gets by. Nothing is really extraordinary. He just does his job in pretty cool movies.

This is a good one. There's money, women, sex, and all the above. My favorite part is the slacker aspect of it. I also like how the main character re-evaluated his life at the end, and decides to go back to school to pursue a real career.

It was a decent effort. I like movies like this.

Watch it if you want.

Alex is on his way to Harvard but needs a summer internship to qualify for a scholarship. When a job in D.C. falls through, he turns to his glib cousin, Roger, whom he thinks is an aquatic engineer.

Roger is, in truth, a Beverly Hills pool boy who offers Alex a job and promises to invent an internship to fool Harvard.

When a pool customer with a mansion goes on holiday for six weeks, Roger gets the idea to run a brothel and enlists Alex to keep the books. As the scholarship interview approaches, what could go wrong?

Been done before and I supposed the $15 budget was spent on Meth because it doesn't show in the film quality. Maybe it went to Tarzan. The film is really dumb. The part that is especially annoying is it takes this "insider" approach where the actors give a nod and a wink to the audience that they are in a movie. It doesn't work. It brings the film down to a Troma level and that's a micro budget.

15 minutes into this movie I actually thought close to 90 minutes elapsed! That's how bad it is.

My recommendation is don't bother
