Customer Reviews of Hugo Pool
Quirky Movie with an All Star Cast. It's a shame that you can get an all star cast like Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr, Patrick Dempsey, and Malcolm Mcdowell, and many others and get such a slow paced, corny, movie. The movie is about a pool cleaner named Hugo, played by the charming Alyssa Milano, and her eccentric clients as well as her crazy parents(Mcdowell and Cathy Moriarty). The movie is cute and quirky but moves wat too slow. I never cared about any of the characters except Alyssa Milano's and Patrick Dempsey, who plays a parapalegic who falls in love with Hugo. Whenever there was a scene without Alyssa Milano the movie bore me too tears. Thank God she is in most of the movie. Sean Penn is terrible a guy who wears blue suede shoes and Robert Downey Jr is way over the top as a eccentric dutch alchoholic. Instead of caring about these characters I felt sorry for them. i highly recommend this film for Alyssa Milano fans. She is a revelation in this movie. Too bad the rest of the talented cast is wasted.
1st film i've seen by mr. downey senior
whether or not this film cna even hold water next to classic like "putney swope" or " greaser's place" is beyond me. i've never seen either so i can't really speak of the body of mr. downey's work but this film was rather quirky & at times cute. i'm a bit of a alyssa fan already with the tv series "charmed" or her role in the 2nd entry of the poison ivy film series. it's hard to dislike a film like hugo pool although i'm sure it would very easy to criticize it without much effort. by far, this is most unusual film i've ever seen ms. milano in but she is charming as always & perhaps one of the few sane individuals here. it's a typical day at hugo pool. there are 44 pools that need to cleaned & a gangster who insists on having his pool filled by 6:30 pm. not knowing which way to turn, hugo dugay decides to get a little help from some family members such as her drunkard for a father(malcolm mcdowell) & her mother(cathy moriarty) who is a compulsive gambler. the characters we meet throughout the film are as quirky & original as any you are apt to see in a typical hollywood comedy but one can't help but be touched by patrick dempsey's character. overall, the film is sweet & relatively funny but i'm sure if this is a film for everyone. definately worth seeing atleast once. if nothing else, there are some great performances here by a terrific cast such as sean penn & robert downey jr to name a few.
great movie!!
Hugo Pool is a GREAT movie i think...Any Alyssa Milano fan would love this movie! shes cute and her acting is great in it! even if u dont like Alyssa this movie is good movie for people who like drama, romance and comedy! highly recommend buying it!!
