10 Attitudes

This is a good story about a man whose friend bets him that he will find love with one of the next ten men he meets. I don't think it's such a bad thing that throughout the film I completely forgot that a bet was made, and just enjoyed watching Jason Stuart's reactions to the strange men. Some of the dates are really hokey (David Faustino's), and some of them are pretty realistic (like the rage-aholic, an exaggeration of a type that really exists).

The majority of the scenes were improvised, but I honestly didn't notice--I found out after, watching the DVD extras. I think the main reason I liked it was because I went into it not expecting much of a movie at all. While it is certainly apparent that this is low budget, it doesn't take much to tell a good story and keep me interested. I found myself rooting for this "late thirties average looking" guy. I'm glad I checked it out.

The best thing about this movie is that its title is numerical, so it shows up among the first DVDs on Blockbuster's "New Releases" wall. That's how I came across it: the synopsis picked my interest, and I wanted to see more of West Hollywood where the story takes place.

I had my first doubt as soon as I pulled the disc out: the artwork is an amateurish drawing, likely created by a friend of the production, and features 6 guys in a giant Martini glass... but wait, isn't that movie supposed to be about "10 attitudes"?

Regardless, the movie was unwatchable in an Ed Wood kind of way--the only reason I stuck through the whole thing is because of the occasional laughs my friend and I got at some of the most "dramatic" scenes. In spite of a couple of witty lines that enlighten about 20 seconds of this 80-minute wreck, it remains a quite atrocious viewing experience sunk by porn-level acting, music and editing; a whiny and uninteresting central character; atrocious camera work; not to mention plot holes the size of Julia Roberts' nostrils.

The team behind this movie should be commanded for making it all happen on such an obviously tight budget... but everybody else, save your $5, you'll never get this hour-and-a-half of your life back!

10 Attitudes!

This is by far the worst acting performances I have ever seen in a movie. These actors ineptly try to portray gay life in L.A., but with laughably bad dialogue and very unconvincing performances they accomplish to make a movie that is essentially un-funny, un-touching and unfulfilling to watch! To top that of the direction is in my best judgment not existing, the sound is very badly recorded and at many times it is very hard to distinguish the dialogue from the background noises. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that the idea is okay and I think that in the hands of someone more capable it would have turned out to be a movie worth watching!

I would recommend this film to no one with a pulse and a measurable IQ!!!

There may be worse gay indy films out there...okay, not that many, but one or two...okay, one (but I can't remember the title right now). This poor excuse for a flick is definitely bottom of the barrel movie-making. The leading man is gay combination of Gary Shandling and Christopher Guest but not nearly as appealing or funny as either. Unfortunately, he's also the writer. The videography is awful, poorly lit, with unwatchable camera work from start to finish. My grandparents could do better with their 1982 beta cam. The tone is all over the map; from farcical comedy to syrupy melodramatic romance - with success at neither end of the spectrum (or anywhere in the middle, for that matter). My finger itched for the FF button on my remote from the movie's very first scene. How David Faustino, Judy Tenuta and JM J. Bullock ever agreed to this film is beyond me! The title is totally misleading (why not call it "Ten Dates", which is what it essentially is?) as the only attitude on display will be the viewer's - who will be sporting major 'tude sitting through this dud.

10 Attitudes was so much fun! I would give this DVD to all my friends. This film made me feel I was not alone. It was about real gay men who are not perfect. Jason Stuart is the voice of the everyday gay guy. the hell with all the west Hollywood muscle Marys. Also all these Hollywood actors who think it is so brave to play gay. with there cowboy hats and perfect everything. Jason is the new breed of gay who is invisible to the mainstream studio films. he is funny, sweet and yeas sexy. Also a really fine actor who deserves the same PR as the straight actors who play the roles gay actors should of got. I just loved this film because it was so original. I cant wait to see what Jason does next!
