I have to stop watching Lifetime movies.
In almost every Lifetime movie, there are three elements: A (usually) female lead, a Psychopath, and family member/or friend(s) that is in danger due to the Psycho.
Sugar Daddies is no different. Kara is a college student. She lost her job. So she can't pay for her school stuff. Her roommate turns her toward Sugar Daddying. She meets a middle aged guy, Grant. He is rich. They go out for awhile. Until her boyfriend and father find out. Then goes the downhill slide. She needs the money so she turns back to Grant. Grant agrees, as long as he can have a threesome with her friend, who also sugar daddies. The friend dies, due to sexual axphilation. She tries to convince her roommate to stop visiting men. Roommate does not. Grant wants silence, and his bodyguard helps him. Fortunately, due to the GPS tracker on her phone, her dad comes to the rescue. Grant goes to jail.
So, Kara is really lucky to live. Really. She could have died. The whole movie, I shook my head at this. I thought the bodyguard was the bad guy. In reality, I missed his partner, Grant. There are two antagonists.
Moral : There is no easy money. Only cheap deaths.

Finding Mr. Right
Also known as Beijing Meets Seattle.
This drama is great. But depends on two things: understanding Chinese culture and having lived in the United States for an extended period of time. Otherwise, this romantic comedy falls flat on its face.
So it's basically a woman who is a mistress and gets pregnant by her rich man. To avoid scandal, she goes to the USA to have the baby. She meets a man, who is the driver for all the pregnant mothers in the illegal House for Unwed Mothers. She falls in love with him. He falls in love with her. Duh. And he's poor too. Duh.
Where it's different, is the guy has a daughter and is divorced. The daughter also has a love romance.
The lady goes go back to rich man. She decides that he isn't for her. So the break up. The rich man divorced his wife for the lady, and remarries the wife after the lady leaves.
Oh, and the ex-wife gets married to a rich guy. Blah.
I liked the movie in the sense that the comedy actually was funny. I recommend this movie, but the elements of American or Chinese culture may hinder your enjoyment of this movie.
Rate: 4/5
