This ensemble effort from cult director Downey (Sr., of "Putney Swope" fame) cuts close to home, with Downey Jr. cast as a violent filmmaker and Dempsey as the love interest, who is afflicted with Lou Gehrig's Disease (the same ailment which claimed the life of Downey's wife, who co-scripted).

Reviews for Hugo Pool
The best thing about this bizarre love story (follie de grandeur) between a female pool cleaner and immobile man in wheelchair is that it puts icon Robert Downey behind the camera after long absence; with some luck Patrick Dempsey should become a lead man
