  • Summary: The film explores, in authentic detail, the Los Angeles music scene -- a treacherous world where people on every rung of the ladder exploit each other in pursuit of fame and success. (USA Films)
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 18 out of 26
  2. Negative: 3 out of 26
  1. The moments of accidental sweetness that emerge from these odd, ultra-lives are meltingly funny and touching.
  2. 80
    Sugar Town's tunes are terrific, and the writing is sharp. But the typecasting is a work of genius.
  3. 60
    Never adds up to anything more substantial than shrewd observations. There's no dramatic core.
  4. A bad Altman impression of the L.A. rock scene.
