A solid "B" film. "Sugar Town" strums a strong steady beat that might get you swaying, but lacks enough bass action to prompt a boogie.

Following four "aging" rockers as they try for a second round of success in a fickle and slippery Los Angeles market; "Sugar Town" is the teen soap opera genre re-written for forty-somethings.

Jade Gordon, playing a selfish mediocre singer, is annoying (but perhaps that's her job). Ally Sheedy, as the nervously insecure Hollywood type, performs marvelously. The writers deserve the largest praise for sound dialogue.
