Steve Davis Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Bob Graham San Francisco Chronicle Rated: 0/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Louis Bayard Washington Blade It falls so grievously short that even your most charitable impulses can’t save it. May 23, 2022 Full Review Jan Stuart The Advocate Mignatti records just enough detail -- the pay-nothing jobs, the actor lingo -- to give a surface impression of accuracy... But the movie finally trivializes their struggle in a cuddly wash of sitcom music and laugh track–less chatter. Apr 5, 2022 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Has got to represent yet another low for the gay indie, New York Style. Jan 4, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 14, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member About a 3.5/10, the terrible trio whine their way to a happy ending that is wholly undeserved. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I really like this movie. Two gay guys talk about what makes a "10". One takes a lot of the movie with the wrong guys until he discovers what the other guy understood all along, it's the 10 inside that really counts. Some pleasant music in this one too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Love and Romance. How wonderful! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Although it's filled with nearly every cliche one has come to expect from a gay film of the period (minus gratuitous sex...or nearly any sex at all), this movie is charming and moves at a nice pace. Michael Shawn Lucas is great, Aaron Williams connects with anyone who has ever felt like less than a 10, and it's fantastic to see Hugh Panaro in a film role. Mara Hobel seems savagely miscast, and there is hardly any chemistry between Mr. Lucas and she. That said - she does what she can in a role that was probably meant for someone entirely different, and she brings a warmth to some moments in the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie brought so much familiarity to me when i was new to the city...from the roaches and mice all the way down to the linoleum kitchen floor. It was cute...but David was an annoying prick! and the ending was a copout. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member It is not a particularly well crafted film, but in spite of it's production shortcomings, it is a light and entertaining movie. Fun to watch with a nice cast of actors. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
