Being a sugar daddy is more than just fun and sex. It requires a certain temperament, one that Grant Zager, the sugar daddy lacks. He is pushy, possessive, and arrogant. It gives cause to wonder why anyone would want to have anything to do with him. Yet he attracts young women who are willing to cats aside all pretensions of morality to make a quick buck. It is uncertain who's is morally more repugnant, the young ladies who are opportunistic whores or the sugar daddy who pays them. Now, this moral dilemma notwithstanding, this is an entertaining movie. The plot is simple, comprehensible, and most importantly, plausible. There is nothing contrived. People are acting act their selfish desires, and, of course, gets them all into trouble. The moral of the story: if you wish to be a successful sugar daddy, treat your "girls" nicely. In turn, they will treat you nicely too, as long as you pay up. After all, call girls don't work for free.

Taylor Black a.k.a Taylor Gildersleeve and Peter Strauss star in this Lifetime TV movie known as "Sugar Daddies" that has similarities to the Halley Pullos- starer Lifetime TV movie entitled "From Straight A's to XXX".James C. Burns,Isabella Hofmann,Ashley McCarthy and Samantha Robinson co-star in this TV movie that tells the story of a college student who needs to finances to pursue her studies.But unlike Miriam in the Pullos movie,the college-age women in this screenplay do no pursue becoming a porn star but something else which the title bluntly and straightforwardly suggests:Have a sugar daddy!!!!Kara tries to pursue becoming a lawyer.She comes from a middle income family who can only afford to provide her $200 a month.Then things get worse when her father injures himself working and got screwed over by an insurance company that left the family with a huge medical bills.Added to that,she never got into the financial internship that she was pursuing due to many qualified candidates that really left her needing for more money to pursue becoming a lawyer and not be left with more than a huge amount of student loans plus interest to pay after graduation.She knows that her previous jobs such as being a waiter won't her at all.Comparatively,Kara's roommate Shawna seems to have no money problems being involved with a rich old guy.This prompted Kara to explore "Shawna's method" despite having no liking for it.In the process,Kara joins one of Shawna's meet-up parties and in the process meets an rich old guy named Grant.Being Grant's mistress,Kara receives $5,000 a month,gives her a car and is able to join him in his private jet.She also got a financial internship upon Grant's connections.All Kara needs to do is to join Grant whenever she is called upon.But being a Lifetime TV movie,we do not expect a happy ending once Kara solves her financial problems.In fact,trouble begins upon the progress of this movie on this part.The movie definitely has a moral theme to teach the viewers that is why the relationship of Kara and Grant does not work nor does not end up happily.Instead,there is a dangerous aspect in it wherein we see someone gets killed.It presents that becoming a mistress of a rich man is not the answer in spite of the financial rewards that a woman could get from it.Also as shown by Kara,one could not provide peace and happiness from it being somewhat into prostitution. Added to that,the movie also explores the financial strain it puts on every American who goes into to college and the expensive American healthcare system but it does not really explore much about it.This was your typical Lifetime TV movie with the typical plot lines and story lines.But nevertheless,it was definitely a "fun Lifetime movie".Discovering another beautiful and sexy actress in Taylor Black a.k.a. Taylor Gildersleeve is definitely fun.It was the first time I have seen her.She does pretty well acting wise and she has shown he can hold on her own with seasoned TV actor Peter Strauss.I'll make it a point to watch her again in her next Lifetime TV movie.

What to do when you have money issues? Work it before you lose it (I may be miss-quoting one of the characters, but you get the point). Not that it is explicitly shown, though there is one pivotal scene where you see a bit more (no "nudity" that would require an R-rating, though this was made for TV anyway, not HBO).Apart from that there are not many Highlights, if you even want to call that a Highlight. You can be sure that this is predictable, although you can't fault the actors, they are trying the best they can. Still this isn't really worth your time, apart from watching beautiful looking people with non-issues and dialog that is cringe-worthy at best

Pretty pre-law co-ed Taylor Gildersleeve (as Kara Jones) explains how difficult it is to make money, then she gets into a dark, foreboding car. One month earlier, we see Ms. Gildersleeve has lost her job as a waitress. Law school is expensive and her auto-mechanic father James C. Burns (as Barry Jones) needs money for medical bills. He may lose the family home. Naturally, Gildersleeve goes out with one of her girlfriends to one of those places where old people hook up with much younger sex partners, for big bucks. Initially reluctant, Gildersleeve is hired by one of the wealthiest seniors in the room, "fossilized" investor Peter Strauss (as Grant F. Zager)...Other than being unavailable on her dad's birthday party, the arrangement works out well. At $5,000 a pop, Gildersleeve has hit the "sugar daddy" jackpot. Alas, this being a "Lifetime" TV movie, things start to go wrong. Gildersleeve loses sexy young boyfriend Griffin Freeman (as Justin). Her life gets even worse when old Mr. Strauss declares, "I like to be choked." For the first half, this is a silly and unconvincing morality drama. With some funny lines ("He's a lonely old man with a drawer full of Viagra"), writer Barbara Kymlicka keeps it running. Later on, director Doug Campbell arrests dwindling interest with "three-way" helper Samantha Robinson (as Lia).***** Sugar Daddies (12/23/14) Doug Campbell ~ Taylor Gildersleeve, Peter Strauss, James C.
