Prisoner of Love

No seriously: what? And no pun intended of course. I had seen this a while ago and just got reminded of it. Refreshed my memory ... though after a couple of minutes I remembered most of it. Funny thing: even if you watch it the first time ... most of the things happening, you can see coming and guess them right.

Acting is not really up to the task - a lot of cliches thrown in your way. You may have an issue with the age difference. But hopefully you can see beyond age shaming - sometimes there can be something there that we do not understand. Of course this is quite obvious from the start. Unfortunately many fall for traps like that. In reality the bad guys are not as ... well simple minded as the ones portrayed here ... but it is a movie of the week kind of deal ... so there is that.

First, I was surprised to find out that the age gap btw the two main characters was even greater in real life!! Gross. I felt like this movie was just a ploy to have this young girl kiss this 38 yr OLDER than her man the whole movie. It gave me the ick. And the plot was weak. I've seen some good sugar daddy movies from Lifetime that teach you a lesson and this one fell flat. It was a very strange.adaptation of a falling in love with an older man type of movie. There literally was nothing in it for the main character. And they kept wayyy too many intimate kissing scenes that had nothing to do with the empty plot. Very strange.

Cause it was really neat and fun! And usually , I apologize but sometimes I find the formulaic thing a bit tedious, but this had a lot of style and it went somewhere and they spoke about stuff and it was interesting! Very very cool!

Another LMN girl (woman) who jumps in the sack with someone she's known for what- 10 minutes? And all the 'coincidences' she ignores. Mel even gives Carly a big ride on the clue bus, spelling out everything that has happened. But, no, Carly is "in love" and she is going to stick to this guy who's what- 40 years her senior?? No matter what.

Dumb.

Dumb.

Dumb.

I watched this on Lifetime, it was called Trapped By My Sugar Daddy, which I think is a better title. The title grabbed me, and I enjoyed every scene with the actor who plays Kyle, the rich sugar daddy. He's so HOT!
