Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Spending more observational time with her smart, resilient and stirringly positive subjects -- even seeing less-edited footage of their business plan speeches -- might have helped sell her inspirational story. Rated: 2/5 Nov 13, 2009 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times It's the type of film you might expect to see at a fund-raising dinner or a convention banquet, not in a commercial theater. That said, it's a very well-made piece of boosterism. Rated: 3/5 Nov 13, 2009 Full Review Justin Moyer Washington Post Whether it's credulity or audience cynicism, Ten9Eight: Shoot for the Moon has a problem, and good vibrations won't solve it. Rated: 2/4 Nov 13, 2009 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Docu features teen CEOs beating poverty, drugs, violence. Rated: 4/5 Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Willie Waffle WaffleMovies.com Showcases entrepreneurs even Michael Moore would celebrate - high school kids with really great ideas like cake on a stick! Rated: 3/4 Nov 13, 2009 Full Review Marshall Fine Hollywood & Fine Mazzio feels the beating heart of the striver and, as a result, Ten9Eight: Shoot for the Moon never drags, even as it offers an important message to audiences.

s r It is good to praise these youth for their accomplishments, yet I feel this is not for all audiences and that it would be good for motivating future participants or to get funding for the NFTE. That is because it seemed to be selling the NFTE and its role in helping motivate the youth, rather than addressing the actual problems in their underprivileged areas. It was inspiring however, that despite their adverse conditions, they still were able to over come their obstacles to become amateur entrepreneurs. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is an inspirational documentary on the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) annual business plan contest for inner city and less advantaged high school students. Director and writer Mary Mazzio has crafted a touching and enlightening story that will captivate high school students, teachers, parents and business owners/executives. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Researching on what NFTE offers, I realize what a great program they have in helping low income students in the city to pursue their entrepreneurial path. But after watching Ten9eight I feel NFTE deserves a better documentary film. The award-winning filmmaker Mary Mazzio must have been on a low budget because it was crap. 85 minutes of following a group of students through a business plan competition, they barely even mention NFTE in the movie. What's the point to say this is a NFTE movie if they don't even mention it? If you want to spend your weekend watching a ‘motivational’ movie, don’t bother to go and watch it. Ten9eight is the type of movie you want to put on when you’re restless and need a drug to put you to sleep. That’s all it is good for. NFTE you deserve something better than this!

The background music alone was pretty generic and a bit annoying. I don't think I'd be so negative if I had seen it in high school during a long boring class, but as a take home DVD its definitely not the best piece of film making.
