A series of mishaps force Alex and Roger to squat in the stunning mansion of one of Roger's clients, where they join forces with Laura, a local escort, to start an escort business. The company grows like wildfire as Alex and Roger get caught in more and more hilarious situations, from shotgun-wielding celebrities to bar mitzvahs to sadistic lesbian businesswomen, finally culminating in one giant party. But, when Alex's parents and their Harvard-alumni friends show up, they have to turn the bash into a Harvard event in order to save both the business and Alex's future.

    Crude and coarse, seems like it wants to be Risky Business but misses by a wide margin.

    Not the best comedy I have seen, nor does it even come close. I felt like I was watching one of the many sequels to "American Pie". Had some funny moments. Maybe not enough. But still an OK watch. Nothing speacial, and the acting was good for some like Tom Arnold, Rachelle Lefevre, and Matthew Lillard. But the lead Brett Davern was stiff and not really that very good. First movie I have seen with him and with acting like that I don't know if I would see anymore of him. So give this movie a go if you want.

    Beyond goofy and not that good. But, it is really fun to see the odd cameos and the decision to cast Tom Arnold as Tom Arnold, was kinda smart.

    I've read & heard so many good reviews about this movie that I had to check it out myself & I wasn't impressed.It seemed like 1 of those movies that's been done so many times before & I thought most of it was unfunny.And Tom Arnold..... I like Tom Arnold but I found him playing h... read moreimself to be extremely annoying.I started to wonder if that's what he was like when he was sniffing coke.The best thing I can say about it is that this is the only movie other then Scooby Doo where I liked Matthew Lillard

    The best movie I have seen on VOD this month! The Pool Boys is a super hilarious college movie with hot babes to spare. It has been a while since I have enjoyed an adolescent comedy this much. The jokes are funny, the humor is unapologetic, the babes are smokin and the actors put... read more in some hilarious performances. I particularly enjoyed Tom Arnold playing Tom Arnold as a crazy celebrity in the movie along with some great laughs from Efren Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite). Patricia De Leon is an uber hottie and the film gave me an overall nostalgic feeling of being in school without any real cares and how fun that was. Super fun movie!

    I went to the LA Premiere of the Pool Boys last night. The audience laughed the whole way through!!! Matthew Lillard and his sharp witty comedy was nicely offset by Tom Arnold's broad humor (playing a tabloid version of himself). Add Rachelle Lefevre with her intelligent charm... read more and a wonderful cameo by George Takai and you get a very enjoyable film!

    Its an added benefit there were numerous Playboy Bunnies running around topless!!!
