With a storyline that is stretched thin over its 87-minute running time, Zuckerbaby is about an overweight woman (Marianne Sagebrecht) who works in a mortuary, develops a crush on a married subway engineer (Eisi Gulp), and then does something about it. At first, the love-struck woman is content with just seeing the object of her infatuation. Then she seeks out the train driven by her "sugarbaby" so she will always ride on that particular subway. Next, she goes through a complex series of subterfuges to discover more about him and finds out that his wife will be out of town for a few weeks -- which in her mind, makes him "free." Eventually, she does get together with him -- but then what? ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

In this routine story about Carla (Janna Marangosoff) a young teen in search of herself as well as her long-lost mother, her conflicts with her police detective father (Peter Sattmann) set off an unpredictable train of events. After Carla's disagreements with her father become too much to handle (he sees traits in her that he hated in his estranged wife who left him a decade earlier), she leaves home to look for the mother she never really knew. That task is not an easy one because her mother moved constantly from one job to the next. As Carla perseveres she runs into her father's nemesis Rick (Eisi Gulp) and takes a liking to him as the kind of parent she really needs. Meanwhile, her father thinks she has been kidnapped, and when Carla sends him a postcard that provides enough information to figure out where she and her supposed kidnapper are located, it does not bode well for her newfound friend Rick. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
