Staying afloat?

The Pool Boys (2011)

Directed by James B. Rogers this comedy stars Matthew Lillard, Brett Davern and Rachelle Lefevre. A boy that has just graduated high school and his underachieving pool boy cousin run a brothel from an empty house.

The plot for this film travels much the same ground as Risky Business (1983) without doing it nearly as well. Nearly all the problems with this film stem from a lightweight script that has more unearned character moments than you can shake a stick at and some of the characters actions do not even make sense if you stop to think about them. Being neither funny nor treating it's subject matter with any depth this film is pretty much a waste of time compared to the various similar and better films out there.

2/5
