Too defensive and earnest about its topic to be either fun or illuminating.

Actors generally make good actor's directors, but Sonny is a mixed bag in that department.
December 27, 2002 | Rating: 2/4 -
An instant candidate for worst movie of the year.
December 27, 2002 | Rating: 1/4 -
Nicolas Cage isn't the first actor to lead a group of talented friends astray, and this movie won't create a ruffle in what is already an erratic career.
December 27, 2002 | Full Review… -
Earnest and tentative even when it aims to shock.
December 26, 2002 | Rating: 2/5 -
It is as uncompromising as it is nonjudgmental, and makes clear that a prostitute can be as lonely and needy as any of the clients.

Audience Reviews for Sonny

Nov 05, 2011I like Nicolas Cage, honestly...for the most part. So, when I heard he directed a film starring James Franco as a male hustler who tries to get out of the life, I figured, "hey, this might be a good, gritty, indie drama". Well, it's not. It's sometimes sleazy and gritty, but it feels undercooked and slightly polished. It's also really draggy asnd boring, which I didn't think was possible. Franco does what he can, and he's okay, but he can't quite save it. Stanton also helps elevate things, but he could have been used a lot more...and better. Suvari was okay, probably the best out of all the ladies here, but even then she's not given much to work with, and her performance isn't all that great. She does have a bit of chemistry with Franco though, and she's nice to look at. Overall, this is a plodding, dull mess. It's also about 20 minutes too long. Avoid.Chris W Super Reviewer

Jan 19, 2011Uneven, seemingly indecisive direction from Nicolas Cage leads this potentially affecting film astray. As it stands, it is mildly interesting. The best aspect of it is James Franco, who gives solid evidence of his considerable abilities as an actor.Mike T Super Reviewer

Dec 19, 2007It's no secret that Nicolas Cage is incapable of saying no to any script - except he decided to direct this one. Doesn't make it any better.Marcus W Super Reviewer
