I liked "Hugo Pool" because it was so strange and not at all based in reality. It was a little too much to take in at first, but once I realized that this wasn't your average movie, I delighted in the refreshing style that was used throughout the picture. I am a huge Robert Downey Jr. fan and I thought that his performance was excellent, although his skinny body made me wonder if he was unhealthy during the making of this movie. The whole cast did a great job of being completely out there.
