A fairly decent mindless watch
The story focuses on 4 girls (Ching, Phoenix, Candy, and Sugar) who are all working as promotional girls for products for various reasons. Ching is a poor college student saving up for a graduation trip with her boyfriend who just started the gig and is keeping it a secret from her boyfriend. Phoenix is an ex-prisoner who was framed for her ex's financial crimes and is currently struggling with sales on behalf of her increasing age and hot temper. Candy and Sugar are money-hungry best friends on the look out for sugar daddies, happy to be able to pick if they want to sleep with a customer or not. Ultimately, we see their struggles with love, friendship, and pride as they try to make the best of the hands they are dealt. But perhaps because of the multiple main characters and short run time of the film, I wouldn't consider any of these elements to be genre-level elements.The characters weren't particularly compelling enough to stick with me after I watched. And while I guess the endings fit the characters' goals in life, I can't help but feel like it made the ending feel only mildly different than the beginning. Almost slice-of-life-y in resolution. Plus, only one of the antagonists ever gets what's coming to them - and it mostly happens off-screen. So it doesn't really feel like my investment as a viewer paid off.
But other than that, it wasn't a BAD movie per se. It makes for a decent mindless watch. Generally the acting wasn't bad - especially from the actresses who played Candy and Sugar. The music never stuck out to me, so I can't really speak on that aspect.
