Sugar Town

The moments of accidental sweetness that emerge from these odd, ultra-lives are meltingly funny and touching.

Sugar Town's tunes are terrific, and the writing is sharp. But the typecasting is a work of genius.

A real pleasure, a sweet, funny, ensemble comedy...utterly authentic.

That durable, sexy powerhouse Beverly D'Angelo steals every scene she's in.

Just because it's true to life doesn't mean it can sing.

Diverting and sometimes humorous but sticks to the superficial ...not distinctive enough to make much of an impression.

Neither as lively nor as tough as the original, and compared to the hardcore punk of "Border Radio," the score for Sugar Town sounds like Muzak.
