It falls so grievously short that even your most charitable impulses can’t save it.

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.

Has got to represent yet another low for the gay indie, New York Style.

About a 3.5/10, the terrible trio whine their way to a happy ending that is wholly undeserved.

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.

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.

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.

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.
