Of course I was not familiar with the 2025 thriller "Sugar Mama" from Tubi prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And since it was a movie that I had never seen, of course I opted to check it out and see what writer Briana Cole and director Bobby Yan had to offer.
Writer Briana Cole put together a script that started out well enough, but rather quickly fell into a monotonous slump, from which it never really recovered. And that made the movie feel rather bland to watch. Sure, it was a watchable movie, but it was devoid of surprises and thrills, and it made for a forgettable viewing experience, if I have to be bluntly honest.
I was not familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list, and that is actually something I enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. The acting performances in "Sugar Mama" were fair, despite the bland script.
If you enjoy thrillers, then there are far better movies out there. While I did manage to sit through the entire 94 minutes that the movie ran for, I was only mildly entertained. And this is definitely not a movie that will grace my screen a second time.
My rating of "Sugar Mama" lands on a five out of ten stars.
