While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This small budget Canadian production shot in and around Toronto has acquired something of a cult status due to the untimely death of its young star. Andre Noble as young gay male Cliff exudes a kind of sheepish naiveté as he turns 18 and seeks to explore his sexuality.The film is a character study of young Cliff who gets into the underside of the gay world in his coming out by hooking up with street hustler Brendan Fehr. The two of them help each other out in many ways until tragedy strikes on the film as well as in real life.Playing another street kid is former Power Ranger Jeffrey Parazzo. The former White Ranger from the Dino Thunder edition gets a chance to bare all for art.Only the fact that Andre Noble did not break into the big market with a popular TV series or big budget movie success has not gained him the fame of a River Phoenix. Accidentally ingesting some kind of deadly poison that grows wild in his native Newfoundland is one of the freakiest demises I've ever read about. Still Sugar is going to be his premature epitaph.No great production values in Sugar, but the cast performs well and knowing about what happened to young Mr. Noble brings an additional poignancy to his performance that could not be anticipated.

Yes Twist was an excellent film. But it was also based on the Charles Dickens play Oliver Twist. This director took gritty scenes that are not based on a classic novel and made them life-like. The characters were well developed and engrossing (if you do not think that a kid can get drugs you are mistaken, i deal with delinquent juveniles for a job). Brandon Ferh's performance was astounding, i was completely in awe. He played the slow decent into complete oblivion with finesse which i hardly see in blockbuster movies anymore. The sex scenes which the first comment was based on were hardly graphic, for that i would watch Queer as Folk. I think the commenter made previous comment from a state of shock about actually seeing homo-erotic scenes. Well it was a homo-erotic story. Get over it.

The recent tragic death of actor Andre Noble leaves a void that cannot be replaced. But thankfully he has left his mark in this beautifully directed film. Sugar reminds me of "My private Idaho" in terms of directing and mood. While the former film had River Phoenix, who made the film so sexy, this film has Andre Noble. Noble had an acting style that revealed passion and emotion with a sexual edge. Playing an 18 year old gay teen who is anxious to have his first sexual encounter, he falls for Butch, a gay street hustler(played well by Brendan Fehr). But this is clearly Noble's film. His heart breaking performance is so real and gripping, and he seemed so destined for super stardom. Beautiful eyes, gorgeous hair and a smile that would break a million hearts, his death leaves the film industry without his raw talent and that is a shame. I would rate this film as an indie classic. It really hit home for me. I hope straight viewers keep an open mind while viewing as Andre truly gives a performance worth seeing again and again.

For at least 15 years I have told people that the worst movie I ever saw was Warriors of the Wasteland. Well, Sugar has finally displaced it.The acting is, in a word, execrable. In all fairness, it could be that the actors had nothing to work with because the script was so hackneyed... forced and tired imagery, ridiculous plot twists and dialogue so painfully bad that I could only bear to watch the first 30 minutes. My partner watched the rest (he felt obliged, having been the one who rented it...) and he assures me that it actually got worse after I left.I'm a patient movie viewer, generally. I've sat through some pretty awful films to the very end. But this asked way too much. Sarah - I'm disappointed. Maybe in your autobiography you'll reveal why you gave this script a second look.
