![]() While Susie was out to arrange for how to get their mother treatment in the UK, Sola and Bola decided to throw a party, and that was when their troubles began. It was obvious they had never seen such a huge amount before and clearly did not know how to handle the sudden wealth. They shopped for cars, and designer clothes and accessories. They bought a new house and lied to their mum that it was a house sitting assignment. In the next few of days, they start to spend money like there was no tomorrow. The youngest sister, Bola, just wanted to live a fake life on Instagram, claiming to have what the family did not have just for clout. It was a funny scene, and the cleaner was apparently on her payroll, the little that there was. Sola just wanted to live large on money she had not earned, and we saw her conduct a funny con, inserting herself in the presence of a wealthy man, after being tipped off by a hotel cleaner, and making up stories about a recent heartbreak. Susie was totally preoccupied with getting funds to get treatment for their mother’s cancer, and she was ready to get it, by hook or crook. This was not before we saw the sisters in their homes struggling with different things. The Sugar sisters, Bola Sugar (Bimbo Ademoye), Sola Sugar (Bisola Aiyeola), and Susie Sugar (Adesua Etomi-Wellington), accidentally discover $800,000 in the house of Chief Douglas, a corrupt man. The stories and actions did not connect, the comedy was tongue in cheek, and there was a lot of inappropriately timed punch lines in scenes when seriousness was required, even in an action comedy. ![]() Let me state here that the movie left a lot of loose threads. We are then taken on a flash back journey through the last few days to find out what happened. The ladies being questioned claim that they saw only $800,000. Sugar Rush opens to three ladies being tortured by the goons of a lady we later know to be Gina (Toke Makinwa), and in the questioning, we learn that $1m is missing. But as funny as the dialogue was, much of it was ridiculous and unrealistic even for a comedy. This movie is unapologetically slapstick comedy from start to finish. Both the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the supposed owners of the money come for them, and they have to team up with unlikely allies in a race against the clock to set things right. ![]() The Sugar Sisters discover a whopping $800,000.
