Full Plot Details

1981: Sonny is the son of Jewel who runs a small brothel in New Orleans. He returns home from the army, staying with his mother while waiting to start the job an army buddy of his promised him. Jewel tries to convince him to come back to working for her as he had before the army, saying many of his old clients still miss him and he was the best gigolo she had ever had. He repeatedly turns her down, wanting to leave that life behind. However, the job he was promised never materializes and he is forced to return to working for his mother. Jewel had recently recruited a new girl to the brothel, Carol, who meets him and falls in love with him. They talk of getting out together. One of Carol's clients, an older man, proposes to her. She initially declines, hoping to go away with Sonny. She and Sonny fall out as he fails to make an effort to get out of the business, instead becoming increasingly introverted and depressed, with occasional outbursts as he looks for more work. Ultimately, Carol accepts the marriage proposal.

Movie Reviews

Blunt Review - 9/10 by Emily BluntAuthor John Carlen has abstrusely captured that struggle of one man simply trying to be human in nonhuman, vile, circumstances.
Newsday - 8/10 by Jan StuartActors generally make good actor's directors, but Sonny is a mixed bag in that department.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenAn engrossing and grim portrait of hookers: what they think of themselves and their clients.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasThe day-to-day realities, especially economic, of Sonny and Jewel's lives could have been more fully detailed to good effect, and Cage might have also have risked setting off the tenderness of his storytelling with an edgier style. Even so, few films take the viewer by surprise with such emotional impact as Sonny.
Variety - 7/10 by Lisa NesselsonBesides "Midnight Cowboy" and "American Gigolo," there aren't many mainstream movies centered on straight male prostitutes. Sonny is a worthy, if indie-style, addition to the list.
USA Today - 6/10 by Mike ClarkWhile compellingly watchable, it's as overheated as Cage-the-actor's 1991 soft-core (and direct-to-video) "Zandalee," also set in New Orleans.
New York Post - 6/10 by Lou LumenickAn instant candidate for worst movie of the year.
AboutFilm.com - 6/10 by Carlo CavagnaFranco is an excellent choice for the walled-off but combustible hustler, but he does not give the transcendent performance SONNY needs to overcome gaps in character development and story logic.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Michael AtkinsonAmid the cliché and foreshadowing, Cage manages a degree of casual realism.
Slate - 4/10 by Michael AggerNicolas 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.
