Sugar Daddies

Being a sugar daddy is more than just fun and sex. It requires a certain temperament, one that Grant Zager, the sugar daddy lacks. He is pushy, possessive, and arrogant. It gives cause to wonder why anyone would want to have anything to do with him. Yet he attracts young women who are willing to cats aside all pretensions of morality to make a quick buck. It is uncertain who's is morally more repugnant, the young ladies who are opportunistic whores or the sugar daddy who pays them. Now, this moral dilemma notwithstanding, this is an entertaining movie. The plot is simple, comprehensible, and most importantly, plausible. There is nothing contrived. People are acting act their selfish desires, and, of course, gets them all into trouble. The moral of the story: if you wish to be a successful sugar daddy, treat your "girls" nicely. In turn, they will treat you nicely too, as long as you pay up. After all, call girls don't work for free.

Terrible acting, hardly any plot, waste of time. Did I mention terrible acting?

According to this movie: i) old men with money are creepy and evil; ii) young people with outstanding good looks should not use their attributes to get on in life; iii) everyone must confirm to a certain moral code and avoid having an intimate relationship with anyone in a different age range.

-Even though throughout the whole world it is often the matching of money and good looks which makes the world a better place.

The story:

An outstandingly good-looking young woman in need of income is persuaded to fall for the charms of a rich older man in exchange for money and other gifts which will benefit her and her family.

However, whoever wrote this movie obviously strongly disapproves of such a relationship and so does everything possible to portray it in a bad light.

When the truth is that in most cases the matching of good looks and money benefits everyone.

But hey when does truth get in the way of the moral code of someone who has never had either good looks or money?

5/10,

I love trashy dramatic lifetime movies, so I can't complain about this. Standard, cheesy etc and all that but it kept me amused & entertained. I have to say though (and do not always or hardly ever leave reviews etc) but I cannot stand the lead actress!!!!! If I was a sugar daddy I would have done the same thing by ripping the check up in front of her!!! What a prude ,annoying, selfish & entitled brat!!!!!

AND yeah, I guess Kudos to the actress for doing a good job acting like this (but can't stand her stuck up "better than you" face and attitude) I can clearly see through the character and real person. Worst portrayal of a sugar baby (and sugar daddy) ever though!!!

Like I said, even though I tolerate this movie it definitely annoys me and think the other movie on lifetime "sugar babies" is way better casted, acted etc!!!

:)

I'll be honest, I caught this randomly on Prime and thought it would be great to have on in the background while I was working from home. 5.0 rating with no famous names attached, maybe I'll catch an occasional cheesy line that will distract me for a moment and elevate my mood from the mundane situation of working from home.

However, the realistic dialogue is what first piqued my interest. Every conversation and situation seemed practical, and no character in this film makes ridiculous decisions out of the ordinary considering the scenarios they're in. It was actually quite well written and avoided the hokey tropes that I expected.

Sure, the production value isn't A-level for Hollywood, but I'm writing this review to give kudos to a team that was most definitely under-appreciated for actually producing an interesting and engaging story. It's actually a good watch and has a solid ending. Not a masterpiece, but definitely better than a 5/10 rating! Solid 7 considering the level it was produced at.
