Summary: Strange?..............Not!!!!!
Review: This video is quite good, even for us strange movie lovers. I love Alyssa Milano, and she does some of her best acting as Hugo. The strangest part of the film, is the part with Sean Penn, which to this date, I still have no idea why he was even in it. Why in the world would someone be drawing water, for a pool, from a lake?? The ending was not what I expected, but do give this movie a try. It'll be worth it!!

Summary: hmm...
Review: This was a pretty weird film. For the most part it was very goofy and only of middling quality, but the McDowell/Penn thing was great. Unfortunately, Milano's utter lack of acting ability was all too apparent. And contrary to what a previous reviewer said, there was no actual nudity, so don't get your hopes up.Overall, this was quirky enough that it could have been good, but in the end it's just too silly to really be anything more than mediocre.

Summary: 1st film i've seen by mr. downey senior
Review: 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.
