predispose or not to the basic premise here of love past the high school hormonal stage and among those who arent in the running for america next top model ( be exploit continually by straight film and tv maker ugly betty or seinfeld anyone . ) and the shaky camera and cinema verité style ill serve this under write gay date movie . regular gay guy ( to quote the dvd box ) josh have a hissey fit when he catch his lover of 10 year receive oral sex from someone he have . well and we never find out just how much of a low life the lover may or may not be . like every unrealistic bride in 50 straight movie and josh declare the marriage over and try and a an average look 30 something and to re enter a date pool stock with 20 something eye candy . blind by the partially self create rejection of his mate ( the marriage failure be entirely play out in one 30 second curbside scene and have as little credibility than josh subsequent date ) and josh meet nothing but sleazoids or those who have not yet get their act together . after one or two bad night out indistinguishable from his late title date he decide to go really self destructive and move back home to cleveland ( ohio may not be new york or sanfransisco and why be josh suffer in l. a. and not one of those place in the first place . but it actually have a very active gay life not that you would ever know it from this film ) . josh one good friend ( it be never explain why they aren not potential date material ) bet josh he can set him up with a perfect man in the title ten date who also source of the title turn out to be ten attitude and not ten date and ten that include at least three or four who no good friend would ever set anyone up with . the potentially good date we never see through to the end . it as madden a hbo sex and the city where ( with only two or three exception ) every time one of the girl find a really nice guy and the viewer know they be toast so the series could go on . give the apparent aspiration of the film maker ( please festival audience enough to support eventual dvd sale ) and it would have be a real surprise if there hadn not be a happy end ( or at least a hopeful one ) and but while writer or director michael gallant craft a nice one and he prove incapable of craft a believable one . he have prove capable of recruit a solid list of capable actor to represent his 10 attitude and even a few nice people . jim j. bullock and to a less extent david faustino turn in thoroughly professional performance and the actor play the man a bully from josh past grow up to be be actually something of a find in the film one really charming scene . the adult woman be less happy and and be a gay film be no excuse for that . it hard to tell if judy tenuda performance be more the fault of the actress or the script . whoever play josh mother be just a bad . the woman play the wife of one of josh date be at least interesting and layered in her obliviousness almost and effective satire on l. a. work wife and though nothing in the rest of the film show that kind of subtlety . all too many gay stereotype fall back on tennessee williams represent i have always depend on the kindness of stranger . josh never say it and he almost never get it but perhaps his film will . this be one of those film to which anyone who actually buy a ticket or decides to rent will bring every ounce of good will possible . it will need it .
