Essentially the story of a loser unwilling to do the work needed to become a professional baseball player. No redeeming value in this low budget (and it shows) film.
Is "Sugar" going to be playing in Toronto or am I going to have to wait untill it comes out on DVD?
not bad
Having played minor league baseball myself for about 7 years and playng with MANY Dominican ballplayers (and Latin), I REALLY wanted to like this film but there was just something missing. I think they could have done more to show the reality of what happens when many latin ballplayers do NOT get to the big leagues where they literally go from living in the USA to being shipped back to the
the perfect sports drama for americas past time

The most remarkable thing Sugar does is give American viewers a sense of how our country must seem to a newly arrived immigrant, without caricaturing or condescending to either guest or host. Full Review

The price of the production's integrity is a leisurely pace -- but it's a worthwhile one. Though Sugar demands patience, it deserves attention. Full Review
