Corporate Line: In this sexy and sassy story, Naomi pays the bills by directing lesbian porn. Her male bosses think her work is too gay; her friends think she’s a sell out. For comfort, Naomi confides in a secret online soul mate called Sugar. Then Naomi gets a chance to direct a popular and daring girl-meets-girl matchmaking show. She casts her bubbly pal Azusa, whose love life at home is suffering, and no-nonsense executive Miki, whose outlet by night is exotic dancing. When their scripted TV romance flares into some hot off-screen action, even Naomi finds herself caught in the flame. Directed by Desiree Lim, SUGAR SWEET is the first Japanese film to be made by and about lesbians.
The Good: The story isn’t entirely bad and there is an interesting storyline but blew it…
The Bad: …with sub par dialogue and very poor cinematography. I can’t speak for lesbians but this is not an interesting movie. The subtitles don’t help. Everything about Sugar Sweet is too obvious even while the actresses have some appealing qualities. It’s too bad a decent plot idea and sexy actresses are wasted on a b-movie.
Frankly: Not enough nudity to be soft-core and not enough plot to be good.
