Pool Service

About This Movie

So, 'Pool Service' from '85 is an interesting little gem. You’ve got this whole dynamic between two housemates that leads to a poolside showdown, which is both ridiculous and oddly relatable. The atmosphere is pretty laid-back, with a vibe that captures that mid-80s feeling of casual mischief. The pacing meanders a bit, letting you soak in the tension before diving into moments of levity. What stands out are the performances; there’s this effortless chemistry that makes their squabbles feel real. And of course, the pool boy isn’t just servicing the pool, if you catch my drift. It’s a blend of comedy and a hint of drama that doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet it leaves an imprint, you know?

This film is quite rare in collector circles, often seen as a curiosity from the mid-80s. It has seen limited home video releases, making original copies quite sought after. Its quirky premise and the casual performances resonate with collectors who appreciate obscure comedies, although it doesn’t often pop up at conventions. You might find it in niche collections or specialty retailers, but the market for it remains somewhat niche.
