Lizzie Monroe (Marie Madison) is a famous pool player who has turned her back on playing tournaments and now hustles clueless men in pool halls.  Because they all think that a blonde can’t possibly play pool, it’s easy for Lizzie to take their money.  Lizzie mentors another young female pool hustler named J.J. (Chexy Grace) but when J.J. goes against Lizzie’s wishes and enters a national tournament, Lizzie enters too.  Teacher and student go against each other for the championship.

This movie looks like it was filmed on someone’s phone and the actors seemed like they were just people some found out at a bus stop.  I’m not much of a pool player but even I could tell that Lizzie and J.J. weren’t really making any of the shots.  This was a film about women dominating their male competition but the movie couldn’t decide if it wanted to be exploitive or empowering.  A lot of obnoxious men lose but the camera lingers on J.J. and Lizzie’s cleavage whenever they lean across the table.  ‘Personally, I didn’t care whether the move was empowering or not.  I just wanted it to make up its mind who it was trying to appeal to.  It probably wasn’t made for pool purists.  Virgin Pockets makes pool look extremely easy and all of the hustles looked like things that anyone could do.  I was surprised J.J. needed someone to teach her how to do most of them.  Maybe I should work on my game and make some money!

What type of title is Virgin Pockets anyway?  When you saw that title, you didn’t think this movie was about pool, did you?
