Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The best thing about this bizarre love story (follie de grandeur) between a female pool cleaner and immobile man in wheelchair is that it puts icon Robert Downey behind the camera after long absence; with some luck Patrick Dempsey should become a lead man
– Emanuel Levy,

rotten:
Hugo Pool, the first film in six years from former counterculture director Robert Downey sets new standards in wacko charmlessness.
– Owen Gleiberman,

fresh:
A sweet, winning diversion that meanders enjoyably on the strength of its laid-back charm.
– Nathan Rabin,

rotten:
It's as if Downey Sr.'s irreverence and off-the-wall humor couldn't quite co-exist with the heartfelt tribute he intends to make here to his wife and her fellow Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis sufferers.

I groaned my way through this black -- and blue -- romantic comedy and then decided I liked it.
