The write up for the movie, re: porn movie director, suggests this could be a bit sleazy however that is not the case at all. This is a fun movie with a great love story and really funny. If you cant handle subtitles stick to all the boring english language movies, there are lots of them.

Not good...poor story line dull acting...oh what a tragedy...could have been better with a better script or actresses...hmmm maybe not..should have donated the money to make this to a womens shelter and done more good...

I wanted to like it. I fell asleep. Even while reading the poorly written subtitles. Maybe that is the problem with the film... When you hear a character speaking for 30 seconds and yet the subtitle only says "yes, you're right" you know you're missing out on something. You simply can't blame the director or script writer for that. Blame the poor translation.

That said, I still don't recommend the film:
*I don't speak Japanese so I can't say whether the story-line would have been good in spite of the bad translation.
*I kept getting the characters confused, because I couldn't look at them long enough to know them because I had to keep reading the dialog. (Don't get me wrong, I usually have no problem following stories with subtitles...)
*It was just plain boring.

The story will make you ask, story what story? wait a second there is no real plot here....The acting....I believe that is limited...the alluring sexual content advertised ...was no where to be found...I wanted to like this film, but I just have to be truthful...This is a poorly made lesbian film...simply mundane...Can't someone make an intelligent lesbian film that does not insult our intelligence...

Sugar Sweet is an ineffective lesbian film. Poor acting, poor dialogue, and an unintelligent script...Makes you long for the days of even Desert Hearts, Lianna, even Personal Best is better.
If you need a new flick go see Big Eden(feminem guys but great film) or A Family Affair (lesbian). Sugar sweet is a mistake.

Sugar Sweet was funny, fun and a great love story. Highly recommended.

Sugar Sweet??? This film bored me to sleep. Just happy I did not buy it. The film tries to be sexy tries to be well acted and is neither. Just because it is a lesbian movie, did not make it good, and that is from a lesbian reviewer. Why there are few great lesbian films, I have not a clue. If you need to see a great lesbian film go buy A Family Affair, Lianna, Desert Hearts,Aimee and Jaguar, or even The Killing of Sister George(for old classic film value) ...but forget Sugar sweet...it is sour
