Dennis lives with his sugar day that is real life TV type Farleigh who has more money than sense and likes to have his significant other not too far away. Dennis has grown used to the easy life and the trimmings of success but with his main actual achievement being 'looking smashing in athletic wear' as John Grant might say. Thing is time and tide wait for no man and after a life of lazy margheritas it is not going to be too long before age starts to show.
Then enter Jasper, he's hunky, he's sultry, he's Mexican and he is the new pool guy. But not for long – soon Farleigh has more than his interest piqued and all of a sudden Dennis has competition – big time.
Now this is one of those stories that plays the coincidence card a tad too many time but as its done so well you sort of forgive it. The actors are all really good especially Jon Paul Phillips as Dennis who really ought to get more gigs. The production is done well too and despite its indie background it comes across as a confident and grown up piece of film making – this is not one for those who want to be mired in bedroom action but is more character based and hence is one I can recommend to all fans of gay themed cinema

This film tells the story of a man who is losing favour as the sugar son of a rich man.
The film is a bit different because it tells the story of a man with three different generations of sugar relationships. Rivalry, jealousy and sadness are conveyed quite well. However, I guess the film is not dramatic or stereotypic enough to make it fun and enjoyable. The film is fun, but could have been more fun.

It was slow-paced and without a distinguishable climax. Character development was also relatively nonexistent. However, the acting and cinematography of the film was notable. Additionally, there were a few memorable scenes (especially towards the end).
It wasn't awful; in fact, for an independent film it was pretty well done. I could see myself potentially rewatching it later. However, it wouldn't be a film that I would purchase or call up my friends to go watch.

There are some nice moments and interesting performers, but the STORY is where this film fails. Trying to create depth and meaning out of things that are superficial should never have been attempted.
This film also laughs off several serious situations and that seemed like lazy writing from someone hiding shame behind humor. The tale would have been stronger had it called out the sugar daddy character for what he is.
Author Andrew Holleran penned a line that would have been golden in this film: "Don't expect me to be your fountain of youth."
The universality of this story is that it happens to women, too. Unfortunately the filmmakers missed that connection and the possibility of making this story a commentary on the selfish desires of privileged men.

The movie starts with a relationship that already has problems, has little character development and growth and has an ending that doesn't feel authentic or natural to the story but abrupt and a bit forced. It was not a bad movie just not enough to it for me to feel the need to ever watch it again. It truly felt like a couple episodes mid-season if a tv show. I felt that I missed some of the back story as to who the characters were and the what and why if their life position to be invested in their actions, it then ends rather abruptly right when I felt the underlying who and why of the characters were coming out and tensions were building and I was truly getting into it all. Worst of all it is one of those endings where it feels almost like the writers gave up and wrote a cheap ending they thought people would want.
