Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
In Sugar Town, Allison Anders and Kurt Voss come together for a scathingly satirical and yet sweetly emotional, picture of the Los Angeles music industry and of careers on the skids. The mixture of Hollywood B-List actresses in their thirties and former rock gods in the cast list adds a particular poignancy--these are performers who know all this from first-hand experience. Martin Kemp, for example, plays the sole survivor of a super-group killed in a plane crash, hustling hard drugs to keep his phone connected for the career-rebuilding call that may never come. One of the reasons why there are no second acts is the awfulness of the compromises people make to stay stars: John Taylor's Clive is trying to sell a demo album which even the 11 year-old Nerve can see is rubbish--Nerve, possibly Clive's son, was dumped on the doorstep by his nun mother. Funny as much as this is, it is the women who give the film heart: Ally Sheedy's Liz is successful but can't get dates; Clive's wife Eve (Rosanna Arquette) finds herself stuck in Mum roles; Jade Gordon as Gwen will steal and (effectively) kill to get ahead. --Roz Kaveney

4.0 out of 5 stars Good film, great acting but left you wanting more, 11 Jul 2001
By A Customer
A good film which was well acted by an ensemble cast including John Taylor, Martin Kemp and Rosanna Arquette. John Taylor was a natural in front of the camera, as always, and has great acting ability and great chemistry with Rosanna Arquette who plays his wife. The plot focuses on a group of 80's heart-throb's who are trying to recapture their previous success and was enhanced by the clever use of real life 80's heart-throb's John Taylor of Duran Duran and Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet. Unfortunately although it was well written and acted it left you wanting to know more about the character's and could have done with being longer.
