This movie is frequently funny, but it isn't always, and doesn't have to be. There are important moral lessons here, and sometimes people don't do what they're supposed to. But the Lent family is basically good. And sometimes people are just silly.
Rhys Coiro may be the standout actor here. Part of this is the extreme close-ups of his weird behavior. And sometimes he's just weird.
Kyra Sedgwick gives her usual good performance. I promise Georgie's really a good person and we will see that.
Dreama Walker does that spoiled teen routine really well.
But most everyone gives a good performance, and most of them are fairly normal.
There's one physical fight that is unique. It's not quite what one might expect once it's over.
Is this a wholesome family movie? Hardly. Several people use cocaine, especially Doug. There are sexual situations, including a strip club, but nothing too graphic other than dialogue. And the language is pretty bad. When I saw this, the sound went out a lot, and characters' mouths were blurred at the time. Sometimes the sound went out for a long time. The investment group is YGF, or "You got ... ". No, not really. There's an official name that suggests success.
I don't understand the significance of the movie's title. The characters spend very little time in the pool.
Anyway, it's worth seeing.
