Sugar Sweet

Rating:
Summary: Nice debut feature for this director
Review: I enjoyed this DVD very much, and have shared it with friends who have also found it positive and funny. Shot in a single week on a shoestring budget with non-actors, I found it amazing what this young filmmaker was able to achieve under these constraints. Funny, sexy, smart, says it all. Sugar Sweet has been very well received at numerous gay/lesbian film festivals, a positive track record that speaks for itself.

Summary: Cheesy, gross and not sexy
Review: I hated this film. The women in it were not attractive. the plot was incredibly stupid and overall, I found this flim leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

The story involves a woman who decides to produce her own porno flicks and her interactions with the actress she hires and her former porno industry bosses. This film was HORRIBLE and had very unsexy and graphic sex scenes.

Summary: Too much sugar can cause you to crash
Review: I wanted to like it. I fell asleep. Even while reading the poorly written subtitles. Maybe that is the problem with the film... When you hear a character speaking for 30 seconds and yet the subtitle only says "yes, you're right" you know you're missing out on something. You simply can't blame the director or script writer for that. Blame the poor translation.

That said, I still don't recommend the film:
*I don't speak Japanese so I can't say whether the story-line would have been good in spite of the bad translation.
*I kept getting the characters confused, because I couldn't look at them long enough to know them because I had to keep reading the dialog. (Don't get me wrong, I usually have no problem following stories with subtitles...)
*It was just plain boring.

Summary: Look Elsewhere
Review: Sugar Sweet is an ineffective lesbian film. Poor acting, poor dialogue, and an unintelligent script...Makes you long for the days of even Desert Hearts, Lianna, even Personal Best is better.
If you need a new flick go see Big Eden(feminem guys but great film) or A Family Affair (lesbian). Sugar sweet is a mistake.

Summary: This is not sweet at all.
Review: Sugar Sweet??? This film bored me to sleep. Just happy I did not buy it. The film tries to be sexy tries to be well acted and is neither. Just because it is a lesbian movie, did not make it good, and that is from a lesbian reviewer. Why there are few great lesbian films, I have not a clue. If you need to see a great lesbian film go buy A Family Affair, Lianna, Desert Hearts,Aimee and Jaguar, or even The Killing of Sister George(for old classic film value) ...but forget Sugar sweet...it is sour

Rating:
Summary: Mundane
Review: The story will make you ask, story what story? wait a second there is no real plot here....The acting....I believe that is limited...the alluring sexual content advertised ...was no where to be found...I wanted to like this film, but I just have to be truthful...This is a poorly made lesbian film...simply mundane...Can't someone make an intelligent lesbian film that does not insult our intelligence...
