Matthew Lillard and Elfren Ramirez have picked up the leading roles in the new comedy American Summer. The good people over at yahoo.com give us more:
Matthew Lillard and “Napoleon Dynamite” hero Efren Ramirez are set to bask in “American Summer,” a comedy about a pool boy and gardener who take over a Beverly Hills mansion and become neighborhood pimps
.Lillard plays a pool boy who has managed to convince his parents he’s attending Harvard. After his apartment complex undergoes termite fumigation, he moves with a pretty escort/neighbor and a young friend into an empty mansion where he works and soon stumbles into the world’s oldest profession. Ramirez plays the next-door gardener called in as “the muscle” of the operation.
This movie should be called “every guy’s dream” a deadbeat gets to move into a Beverly Hills mansion with a hot call girl? Yeah…only in the movies my friends. It almost sounds like an update of Risky Business, young men becoming pimps, wiser pretty women showing them the ways of the trade. Unfortunately I have a feeling that it will more likely end up like Dude, Where’s My Car?
The chances of this movie being good are slim, but then again I guess it depends on what your definition of a movie is. Lillard and Ramirez are fine actors, there will be laughs, hot girls, maybe even some funny dialogue (hope, hope) and everything will be ok at the end.
I’ve changed my mind, this movie could make a good popcorn flick.
