The Pool Boys

"If you need anything you call your cousin Roger and I'll hook you up. I never would have said that if I thought he was gonna take me seriously." After graduating from high school Alex needs help with his scholarship. When is internship goes bad he calls his cousin Roger (Lillard) for help. When Roger's job turns out to be less then advertised he is unsure of what to do, then he meets Laura (LeFevre) and they all come up with an idea. Everyonce in a while I enjoy the occasional low-brow comedy. This one is very comparable to "Girl Next Door" in the subject matter. This one involves the kids making money by opening a brothel instead of a porn movie. The cast is actually comprised of some pretty big names and is entertaining and funny throughout. When you watch don't expect an Oscar type movie, but this is actually one of the funnier "boobie" movies that have come out in awhile. Overall, a funny and entertaining way to spend an hour and a half. I give it a B (for boobies...ha ha)

The plot of this film definitely seemed intriguing and was a little more explicit than expected. The film is labeled as a comedy but it's humor is that of silly sexual gags that feel forced where it isn't exactly humorous. Slightly reminiscent of the film The Girl Next Door (2004) in some aspects but of course that film is easily superior. The lead character of Alex in the Pool Boys also gave similar vibes to the character of Emile Hirsch in the Girl Next Door.

As a film it is relatively predictable but still moderately entertaining. It does conclude with an expected positive message in the end. The love angle turned out as expected. Comedy is subjective and this isn't a laugh out loud comedy. Some of those early IMDB reviews claiming how hilarious this movie is sound ridiculous and very over exaggerated.

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

Alex Sperling (Brett Davern of Awkward), fresh out of high-school hooks up with his cousin Roger (Matthew Lillard) when he needs a new internship after his first one is unexpectedly terminated. But turns out Roger exaggerated his place in life and is a mere pool boy. When Roger's place is being fumigated, he decides to stay at a vacationing client's mansion, which he soon turns into a makeshift brothel to help pay for Alex's tuition. Meanwhile Alex is falling for one of the prostitutes.

This film was merely OK for a lazy rainy day afternoon. It's never laugh out loud funny, but it's not as awful as other movies of it's ilk. The only gripes I had was I couldn't really buy Pedro from Napolean Dynamite as anything approaching a 'tough guy' and I still have no clue how they got the great Robert Davi to cameo. But that aside its a serviceable enough film.

Eye Candy: Simona Fusco shows T&A; Janine Habeck, Monica Leigh, Jennifer Walcott, and AJ Alexander get topless

My Grade: C+

Where I saw it: Cinemax

Forgive me, I'm not going to go into too much detail (this film has already taken too much of my life) but, please trust me when I say... Do not watch this movie. Bar Adam Sandlers "Over board", this is the single worst movie I have ever seen... Honestly, ever.

If you are a 14 year old boy, please ignore the above... Dude, it's got tits... Although seriously, try spankwire - take advantage of the modern age. I had to cope with old copies of Razzle when I was your age, you debauched little bastards.

If you do decide to watch it, don't tell me I didn't warn you.

Peace out
