Movie Info

"The Pool Boys" tells the story of Alex Sperling, Harvard-bound valedictorian, who loses his summer internship and heads to Los Angeles to work for his charming and successful cousin Roger. Unfortunately, Roger isn't quite the accomplished businessman he's made himself out to be -- he actually dropped out of Harvard, and now works as a pool boy. A series of mishaps force Alex and Roger to squat in the stunning mansion of one of Roger's clients, where they join forces with Laura, a local escort, to start an escort business. The company grows like wildfire as Alex and Roger get caught in more and more hilarious situations, from shotgun-wielding celebrities to bar mitzvahs to sadistic lesbian businesswomen, finally culminating in one giant party. But, when Alex's parents and their Harvard-alumni friends show up, they have to turn the bash into a Harvard event in order to save both the business and Alex's future.

Beyond goofy and not that good. But, it is really fun to see the odd cameos and the decision to cast Tom Arnold as Tom Arnold, was kinda smart.

I've read & heard so many good reviews about this movie that I had to check it out myself & I wasn't impressed.It seemed like 1 of those movies that's been done so many times before & I thought most of it was unfunny.And Tom Arnold..... I like Tom Arnold but I found him playing himself to be extremely annoying.I started to wonder if that's what he was like when he was sniffing coke.The best thing I can say about it is that this is the only movie other then Scooby Doo where I liked Matthew Lillard

Crude and coarse, seems like it wants to be Risky Business but misses by a wide margin.
