HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

randirae This film is definitely not one for the faint hearted, nor is it blockbuster material. And yet, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought Sugar was phenomenally realistic and avant-garde. The cast was amazing. Noble and Fehr make a fantastic duo, the latter did a -great- job of representing the bad influence that your mother always warned you about. Noble shows his innocence on his sleeve so well, which feeds off Fehr's "bad boy" outer shell fantastically.I think the thing I most admire of this film is the sheer blunt truth of it all. Albeit a little odd, it reveals the struggle so many gays (even straight people) have gone through with eye-bludgeoning scenes and characters you see everyday in your hometown.Despite the outlandish outlook of it all, I find it unbelievably easy to relate to. Eight out of ten.

Yablo I was bitter during the movie, it was sweet when it was over, and I am surprised anyone could possibly enjoy it.That's not entirely true, of course. To each their own is rarely truer than when it comes to film so I respect the previous reviewers opinion. I simply, and violently, disagree. The best compliment I can give to the piece is about the acting---it was occasionally decent. The script was boring, the characters boorish, the plot middling and mundane, the directing flat and uninspired, the sex and gay lifestyle stereotypical, and the picture quality was (intentionally, I think, but unwisely) terrible.Avoid.

harry-76 When leading "Sugar" Actor Andre Noble expired shortly after filming from ingesting that toxic Canadian flower, he joined a long line of thespians who passed away during or immediately after a film project.These include Massimo Troisi ("Il Postino) Robert Ryan ("The Iceman Cometh") Brandon Lee ("The Crow") Clark Gable ("The Misfits") and River Phoenix ("My Own Private Idaho") to name but a scant few.Whatever may have been the circumstances of these cases, it reminds one of the often precarious nature of total artistic commitment.When viewing "Sugar," evidence is of actors giving their all to their roles, especially Mr. Noble as the angst teen and Brendan Fehr as the seasoned hustler. It's certainly no fault of theirs that "Sugar" rather fails to deeply move most viewers.Trouble seems to be mostly in a script that doesn't seem to provide much depth into the characters' psyches, backgrounds, or relationships. One observes surface action, but seldom does one empathetically feel for these people.John Palmer's direction may likewise be termed "unremarkable," though it's evident that everyone's trying. It seems the makers got caught up in the dirt and decay of circumstances, without addressing the personal pathos and ultimate destiny of their subjects.Like young Lee and Phoenix, talented Noble's legacy must rest primarily on this film, and for that reason alone, "Sugar" becomes significant.

benc7ca I rented "Sugar" with some trepidation; all I needed was another low budget "seedy-side-of–life-coming -of –age-damn-he's-dead" story. I was surprised, no, I was elated to find otherwise. What makes this different from so many of this genre? Great acting, great writing, great directing. Wow, just like a real movie! This old story (young kid meets up with hustler and begins to sink to the bottom) has been told again and again and will be re-told again and again. There's something about archetypes here, some sort of shared mythology that just begs to be re-visited and re-explored. This movie is worth the visit. Brendan Fehr gives a masterful performance as the hustler and the late Andre Noble as the young explorer is wonderful. Some of the scenes are riveting, some endearing and one is unforgettable. I won't give more away, just rent this film and watch and learn
