Fantastic!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

'Cougars Inc.' is about a teenage boy who uses his friends as 'escorts' to older women, who then pay for their 'services.' On the whole, a neat idea which has potential. However, it's executed pretty strangely. First of all, if you see it billed as a 'comedy' then think again. I managed to sn*gger about three times in the ninety minute run-time. I would almost call it a romantic teen drama instead.However, the main problem is the sheer believability of the situation. On the one hand, I'm sure there are more 'mature' women (or 'cougars' as they're called here) who may be bored with their marriages etc and, with their disposable income, are ready and willing to pay to date younger men. But, in the film, the problem lies with the fact that the 'mature' women are all incredibly attractive, almost to the point of having model looks. Are we seriously to believe that Denise Richards (yes, she may be in her early forties now, but, let's face it, she's still 'Hollywood' quality when it comes to looks) is having problems finding one-night-stands? And, if we're in some parallel universe where that is the case, she chooses to pay young nerdy teenagers for their company.The central character's friends are portrayed as the 'geek squad.' They're not the fit, sporty, cool 'jocks' of their school, they're the ones who hide away in the computer rooms, playing Dungeons & Dragons. The whole film comes across as some teenage boy's fantasy about him and his mates being seduced by scores of beautiful women (and, they're ALWAYS beautiful - the boys never have to 'perform' for some tired-looking fifty-something with drooping body parts and stretch marks!).Then, to add final insult, the film strays into the moral compasses of escorting and how it affects 'real' relationships and treats us to a particularly preachy final act. I wanted to like this. If they had kept it more like some sort of daft, zany 'American Pie-esque' type comedy, at least it would have had a few more chuckles. Sadly, it's a film that tries to take on too much and basically fails on all levels.

I loved this film so much. I thought it had a brilliant story-line, the idea that Sam couldn't pay for his tuition and how they came up with an escort service that helps to pay was very original. Kyle Gallner was amazing as Sam, but he wasn't the only good actor of the bunch. I am sad that this film wasn't made more well known, because I thought it was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought that mainly it would be about the women trying to find solace in the young boys, but it was the other way round. Overall I would say that Cougars, Inc. is a great film (especially if, like me, you love Kyle Gallner!) with a very good story-line. I would rate it 9.5/10 and say that it is suitable for anyone mature 13+.

This movie is underrated for starters.When i saw the poster and the plot, i thought it was going to be an average movie or worse, i still got it anyways since it had a good cast, and you know what?. I didn't regret it. The movie was very entertaining, the plot was original, the music hit the spot and the acting was great. Props to Kyle Gallner in the lead role. His role is very mature and it was well executed.The rest of the cast was great too, pay attention to james belushi, you will love him in this movie.Also this is very far for being a comedy, but still very good.If you see this movie, get it. Its not a masterpiece, but for no means its a waste of your time, you will be surprised. my rating 7. Recommended.

I have Watched this movie nearly without any expectations and i kinda liked it. all the characters are in place James Belushi was amazing at that cool dad role and Denise Richards is well what she is but i was amazed by the guy who played Sam in the movie he kinda reminded me David Duchovny in Californication. The movie has a bitter sweet taste and the music was really helping you about that. The Questions between the scenes are a nice touch i think. Only thing that bothers me is that this isn't a comedy i mean it is a emotion filled and surely suitable for drama but i don't think that this movie is in the boundaries of a comedy.But it is good acting, there is nothing over used even the the boys are acting stupid as they would in a real world. At the and i really enjoyed my 85 minutes going trough and i hope you will give a chance too.
