A lot of fun.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

i laughed & laffed at this screwball comedy! how anyone can be offended by this nutty movie is beyond me.right from the start you know this is a budget movie with actors doing their thing in front of the camera and doing it in a 'carefree' attitude. that's what makes this film so brilliant and just fun to watch. the actors are just doing what they choose without concern with 'acting'!!!Saint James St. James (Saint James Street James) is the narrator that keeps the goofy stuff in motion and takes over the action in the end. the ricocheting bullet is worth the whole hour and a half of laffs.rent it and get happy with laughter!

This movie might appear terrible, low-budget crap but it's actually quite an intelligent film. It is self-referential in that it becomes a scathing commentary on action/war movies such as Lethal Weapon, Rocky and Apocalypse Now, while at the same time reacting and intersecting with other narratives such as "porn" and "blaxplotation" films. And it's f'n funny. Don't listen to the haters...go into it with an OPEN mind...it's actually quite good in, again, a gentle mocking, side-long smirk at's own stupidity (and as an extension, the whole spoon-fed mass media grub we suck down without ever questioning the basis for such narratives such as racism, titillation of both flesh and fear, blood lust and revenge flicks). And it's f'n funny.

When I sat down to watch "Poolboy: Drowning Out the Fury" it was out of sheer boredom. But wow, this movie was such a wonderful surprise. If you enjoyed movies such as "The Naked Gun", "Hot Shots", and "Airplane!" then you definitely have to check out this movie, because it is equally funny and so far out there in spoof and gags.The story is about Vietname veteran Sal Bando returning to America after 13 years in Vietnam! But the home he returns to have changed dramatically and his wife is now sleeping with the poolboy. Hellbent on revenge, Bando sets out to become the only white poolboy in the entire area."Poolboy: Drowning Out the Fury" is full of outrageous gags, jokes, punchlines and stupidity. I was laughing quite a lot throughout the entire movie. And I must admit that this movie is worthy aside the classic "The Naked Gun" movie.And the people they had managed to pull together for making this movie was really great. There were so many familiar faces from movies and TV series alike. And if you are an avid movie fan and sitcom fan like me, you will be counting the familiar faces from the start of the movie right up to the very end. Kevin Sorbo (playing Sal Bando/poolboy) was actually doing a great job in the movie, and it was great fun to see him in a role such as this. But that they had managed to get Danny Trejo to play the villain, that was just off the charts. Thumbs up for that."Poolboy: Drowning Out the Fury" is a lot of laughs and is actually good entertainment. And the absurdity of the in-your-face-oh-so-fake feeling of the effects and props, well that was just hilarious. Watch this movie if you are a fan of the "The Naked Gun" comedy genre, I am sure you will love this movie too.As a side note, it should be said that there is a bit of nudity and usage of adults-only material for some of the gags in the movie. So if you are easily offended, just a heads up on that account. There is also a lot of racism in the movie, but it is done in a hilarious way, so you can't help to laugh at it, because it is so absurd.I liked this movie, especially because it made me laugh this much.

"Poolboy" is not a well made movie. It is not well acted, well written, nor well directed. You could call it crap and few could argue. And yet, underneath all that crap there is a bizarre kind of brilliance at work here. "Poolboy" is not a good movie, but I loved it.The plot, what little there is, concerns a Vietnam vet coming home to find his wife and child murdered by an evil pool boy and LA over run by Mexicans (it's as racist as it sounds, but I'll get to that later). Overcome with grief, the Vet goes on a one man rampage against the evil Mexican pool boy cartel.The story is utterly ridiculous and even less coherent than it sounds since half the film is made up of fake 'making-of' footage. It all congeals into a sloppy mess of rapid-fire (often vulgar) sight gags. Those easily offended by nudity, violence, blood, gore, and nearly non- stop racism need not apply. Those with a mind for it will find a frequently hilarious film that hearkens back to the glory days of old-school Troma movies (think "Toxic Avenger" or "Troma's War").I said the film was not well acted before, but that is only half true. The actors act poorly, but they are clearly supposed to be acting poorly. The kind of over-dramatic, over-acted nonsense that is intended to compliment the ridiculous story. In that regard, they actually act pretty well. I'm a long time fan of Kevin Sorbo, but I surprised to see just how well he handled absurdist comedy. Danny Trejo also puts in an extremely funny performance as a kind of anti-thesis to his character from "Machete". The rest of the film is loaded with actors who deserve credit for going along with the ludicrous nature of the film.The dialogue and filming are much the same as the plot and acting; they are poorly executed, but that is the point. The dialogue is often (though not always) hilarious and the direction has a rushed, film student quality to it that would seem amateurish if it wasn't clearly the intended look for the movie.As much I liked the film, not everything worked for me. The biggest problem is that with many films of it's type, they rely on quantity over quality for the gags. About half the jokes fall flat, but at least the other half hit the mark. Also, the film is EXCEEDINGLY vulgar. Hardly 30 seconds can go by with some form of cursing, bloodshed, or racist material being shown. I'm not offended by explicit content, but after a while I wanted the movie start being more clever and stop being graphic just for the sake of being graphic.All things considered, I thought "Poolboy" was a hilarious film, but definitely not one for most people; consider watching it with friends and a six-pack for maximum effect.
