Watch Hugo Pool For Free

How sad is this?

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Judging from the range of comments on Hugo Pool they seem to run the gamut. As a film, it's not the kind of thing I'd usually watch, but it did contain some rather strange characters.Alyssa Milano in between her stints as Tony Danza's daughter in Who's The Boss and one of the Halliwell sisters in Charmed was cast in the lead by director Robert Downey, Sr. She seems to have taken complete charge of the pool cleaning company that is a family business because dad (Malcolm McDowell) is reverting to being a teenager and mom (Cathy Moriarty) can't control her gambling addiction. In fact she either has to come up with the money or sleep with the bookie.Anyway somebody has to step up to the plate and Alyssa seems the only one likely to do so. She's got a lot of customers out there in Nevada who want to use their swimming pools because of the heat and who need them cleaned.Anyway on her route she meets Patrick Dempsey who even with Lou Gehrig's disease is not about to miss out on all the good things in life. In fact one of only two parts of his anatomy are untouched by amytrophic lateral sclerosis, his brain and the love muscle. In fact the second has some remarkable staying power as he informs us.Hugo Pool is the story of all these characters and the day they spend together. It's an interesting tale and maybe had it been done in a more straightforward and romantic way, I might have liked the film better.Still it's not the fault of the cast who give some very good performances. Not mentioned by me before are Robert Downey, Jr. as an egotistical movie director and Sean Penn as a hitchhiker Malcolm McDowell picks up. Dig those sky blue shoes that Penn wears.Hugo Pool might be your cup of tea, it wasn't quite mine though.

This film was hard to find but when I finally found it and I watched it, it left me with a warm feeling I don't know why though. The cast was great especially Sean Penn and Robert Downey Jr with their strange characters.It's a film that's fun and not to be taken seriously, the only problem I have with this film is when it is trying to be serious like at the end it just shouldn't because it succeeds as I great comedy.I agree with what someone else wrote, that this film is probably Alyssa Milano's best movie which she is in the leading role. So if people are looking at most of these reviews and are thinking that it's a crap movie don't let peoples comments put you off just give this film a go you may not be disappointed.I have only ever watched this film once and I may actually go and borrow it again this weekend.So after watching Hugo Pool I decided to give it a 7 out of 10.

Hugo Pool is a great movie if you are having trouble sleeping. I saw the credits and expected a very interesting movie. Instead I saw a silly, slow, and boring flick. Obviously, some people enjoyed this movie based on the score it received, but I found this movie very disappointing.

The movie remined me of a group that got together one weekend and decided to make a spoof movie. The acting was so bad that I doubted if there was any scene retakes. The cast was OK but acted as though they had just read their lines 5 minutes before and wanted to call it a day as soon as possible. The only way it could have been worse was to be in B&W. Even as a silent film it would have been an improvement.
