Read a review of Virgin Pockets, didn't expect too much considering that going in I knew it was low budget. Being a lifelong pool player, I was drawn to this ganre. What this film needed was a decent technical adviser. Early scene has Grace blowing chalk off a flat faced tip, adviser would have given it a radius. Most of the shots were hangers, no set up frozen trick lookin combos played, adviser would help there! Fake money laid on the table. It's OK to film real cash, I looked it up, it would have helped. Lots of the action revolves around the Erie Brewing Co. Good sponsor, product placement is prominent as well. So, get a local B grade player to advise, pay him or her with some Erie Brewing Presque Isle Pilsner,(will work for beer), bingo, much better flick. Not for pool purists, (snobs). Neat sound track though, fitting for the "bar action".
