Review of Sonny

Sonny (2002)
5/10
Too Much for Too Little
27 July 2004
99% of Sonny's audience is present to watch one scene. The nudity from actress "Josie" fueled many video stores to carry copies of this movie across this great country of ours. The end result, a good movie taken for granted. Still, for an independent film, this is not. For such a large budget and some interesting cast members, the movie falls shorts for the right reasons. The plot and characters are both interesting but loses its flavor somewhere during the half way point. Cage as a Director could have gotten a lot for P.A., if he marketed it right. James Franco proves that he is more than just a pretty face, he can act and act with his entire body. Still, the audience for this movie rests in the fan base of nudity. A Sundance or Art Festival feast, it landed off the table and onto the floor where the dogs of the T & A fan base ate it up like it was the last supper. A more gritty story with a smaller budget would have turned more heads and made more of an impression.
