Prisoner of Love

So, I don't normally do reviews but I really felt the need to speak about this movie. I enjoy watching LMN and all the trash movies it shows. It's my thing. My wife can't believe I spend my time watching them. But I digress. The acting and writing is absolutely horrendous in this movie. I've enjoyed this guy James Hyde in other movies so I gave it a shot. He's the best this movie has to offer. My biggest gripe about it is that in so many outdoor scenes, there is snow on the ground and yet all the actors are wearing sleeveless tops or short sleeves. Not a coat, gloves or scarf to be seen. Sometimes it's the small details that can make a movie go from a 10 to a 1 in a split second. And that's my line. Don't waste a second on this movie.

First, I was surprised to find out that the age gap btw the two main characters was even greater in real life!! Gross. I felt like this movie was just a ploy to have this young girl kiss this 38 yr OLDER than her man the whole movie. It gave me the ick. And the plot was weak. I've seen some good sugar daddy movies from Lifetime that teach you a lesson and this one fell flat. It was a very strange.adaptation of a falling in love with an older man type of movie. There literally was nothing in it for the main character. And they kept wayyy too many intimate kissing scenes that had nothing to do with the empty plot. Very strange.

No seriously: what? And no pun intended of course. I had seen this a while ago and just got reminded of it. Refreshed my memory ... though after a couple of minutes I remembered most of it. Funny thing: even if you watch it the first time ... most of the things happening, you can see coming and guess them right.

Acting is not really up to the task - a lot of cliches thrown in your way. You may have an issue with the age difference. But hopefully you can see beyond age shaming - sometimes there can be something there that we do not understand. Of course this is quite obvious from the start. Unfortunately many fall for traps like that. In reality the bad guys are not as ... well simple minded as the ones portrayed here ... but it is a movie of the week kind of deal ... so there is that.

I watched this on Lifetime, it was called Trapped By My Sugar Daddy, which I think is a better title. The title grabbed me, and I enjoyed every scene with the actor who plays Kyle, the rich sugar daddy. He's so HOT!

Cause it was really neat and fun! And usually , I apologize but sometimes I find the formulaic thing a bit tedious, but this had a lot of style and it went somewhere and they spoke about stuff and it was interesting! Very very cool!
