Sugar Daddies

Pretty pre-law co-ed Taylor Gildersleeve (as Kara Jones) explains how difficult it is to make money, then she gets into a dark, foreboding car. One month earlier, we see Ms. Gildersleeve has lost her job as a waitress. Law school is expensive and her auto-mechanic father James C. Burns (as Barry Jones) needs money for medical bills. He may lose the family home. Naturally, Gildersleeve goes out with one of her girlfriends to one of those places where old people hook up with much younger sex partners, for big bucks. Initially reluctant, Gildersleeve is hired by one of the wealthiest seniors in the room, "fossilized" investor Peter Strauss (as Grant F. Zager)...

Other than being unavailable on her dad's birthday party, the arrangement works out well. At $5,000 a pop, Gildersleeve has hit the "sugar daddy" jackpot. Alas, this being a "Lifetime" TV movie, things start to go wrong. Gildersleeve loses sexy young boyfriend Griffin Freeman (as Justin). Her life gets even worse when old Mr. Strauss declares, "I like to be choked." For the first half, this is a silly and unconvincing morality drama. With some funny lines ("He's a lonely old man with a drawer full of Viagra"), writer Barbara Kymlicka keeps it running. Later on, director Doug Campbell arrests dwindling interest with "three-way" helper Samantha Robinson (as Lia).

***** Sugar Daddies (12/23/14) Doug Campbell ~ Taylor Gildersleeve, Peter Strauss, James C. Burns, Samantha Robinson

A tale of the roles that women and men have played since the dawn of humanity. Except butchered by being told from a very deluded liberal point of view - man evil and conniving, and woman victim. I believe that the good reviews for this were written by friends and family of the director and actors, and quite possibly by psychotic virgins rejected from society. Do yourself a favor, flush and watch your own creation swirl away, it's far better done and believable than this high school amateur waste of 2 hours.

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.

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!!!

Poor acting,poor plot and poor nude scenes😅 Should have included hardcore ones..😄 Boring and predictable..
