Fun Until The End
"10 ATTITUDES"
Fun Until the End
Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride
In "10 Attitudes" (Culture Q Connection) Josh Stevens finds out that his boyfriend is cheating on him. It is hard for him to believe that after ten years together that his boyfriend would be so obviously unfaithful and it has come time to end the relationship. What worries Josh is the idea of starting all over again. It is hard to go back t the bars after living comfortably for so long. He decides to go back to his hometown, Cleveland but his best friend convinces him that he can easily find a new mate in just 10 dates. Of course, he meets many guys that are wrong for him.
"10Attitudes" is charming and a very funny look at modern relationships and a very funny look at the gay dating scene. In fact, the movie helps you to confirm what you have always thought--that aside from yourself, everyone else in the world is crazy.
When you are forty or older it is hard to start dating again as Josh found out. As hard as it is in Arkansas, the scene in West Hollywood seems to be that much worse. There the dating pool is infested with barracudas and al the guys, in Josh's eyes, are bitchy. Everyone he meets is an actor or a hustler, or an actor and a druggie, or an actor or a waiter, or an actor/hustler/waiter/druggie combo. These who are not actors are personal trainers. This is dating in the gay ghetto.
Josh is lucky that he has a sense of humor. He is able to toss everything off as a joke or a mistake. However, what began as a very funny movie runs out of steam half way through. It runs as if suddenly ran out of time. The ending falls flat but getting there was a lot of fun.
A question remains after the movie is over--if West Hollywood is so bad for gays, why is it that so many gay guys move there? And why are there are so many movies about it?
I have read some really bad reviews of "10 Attitudes". I think many who saw it took the movie as a whole and did not look at the fun we had reaching the end. Sure it was contrived and the ending was weak but there was a lot to enjoy. It is no classic and it won't be remembered but the laughs are great, the acting is fine and all in all, I enjoyed it a lot.

I start by saying I have seen worse movies. Picture quality was poor but the concept was good it just could have been done better. Witty yes but some of the acting was wooden. It wasn't a total waste of money. However if we had the ability to sell as second hand here in Australia it would be in the 'For Sale" bin.10 Attitudes
Hilarity
I did enjoy this movie and it made me laugh a lot. Each of his dates are so wacky but we all know there are people like that out there!!! I would recommend.10 Attitudes
It was a waste of a rental fee
When I first started acting, one of the first shows I was in had a really mean reviewer who basically said "the actors should be ashamed of themselves for working on such a tripe." My fellow cast members and I were shocked and hurt by this, as we worked hard on the play, and the comment came out of left field.
I say the same thing about this show, but the difference is this flic deserves it.
My partner and I watched this, and we tore it apart, as we both work in the 'biz'. Here are some of the problems we had with it:
The film doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it a mockumentary in the Christopher Guest style (ala Mighty Wind, Best of Show, Waiting for Guffman), or is it a movie with a lot of non-sequitors?
Technically, the lighting was bad, filming was bad (there are sequences that were filmed without a tripod, and should have), it was badly edited (there were portions that didn't match up), the sound didn't quite synch.
The lead actor is playing himself, not a character. I don't think he really understands what the character is feeling, which is odd, because he also wrote the script. It is sad when the lead actor can't match his energy and talents to the likes of the name talent the director hired (David Faustino, Judy Tenuta, etc.) The fact that he looks like Christopher Guest doesn't help him either, because it convinced me if he's trying to be something he is not.
In Theatre 101, we are taught about who the audience is supposed to care about at the end. That person should have been the lead actor, but he is so annoying and whiny we felt sorry for the guys he tried to date.
The script is missing a lot of things, like background exposition. It would help explain why the lead character feels and acts the way he does.
The writer/lead actor took what could have been a great concept for a very funny movie and created such a convoluded melodrama not worth the rental fee.10 Attitudes
I could have been doing my laundry!!!
I thought at first that the idea behind this movie would be kind of cute. Started watching it and became desillusioned very quickly. This homemade movie is filled with stereotypes of what gay men should be. Not only that but it also mentions what gay men should not be such as older, more bulky and anything that is not twink. The story is not funny although this is a comedy. I have to say the actors in the movie were laughing a lot more than we were, watching them. Horrible movie, bad acting...10 Attitudes
