Davis P Ok, I'll start out by saying that no, this movie is not genius and it's not great. Movies like this aren't exactly meant to be genius though, I knew what I was getting myself into with this one. To me, this was simply a cute, fun feel good movie. I was alone and on Netflix one night, and thought it would be light and fluffy, and it was. I say all that because you have to know what you're in for. If you pick this movie apart and scrutinize it, you'll probably have a bad time. It's predictable and it is very cheesy. The reason I enjoyed it so much, is because I liked the actors and their characters. I thought they were likable and I liked seeing them together. I also liked the supporting members of the cast and the character they played. The writing is far from brilliant, but like I said, it's all fluff and idealistic. Can't say if others will like it as much as I did, but I really had fun with it.
Kezia Cole I watched this on a friend's recommendation, expecting a fluffy romance dangling from an enjoyably contrived premise (hey, it worked for decades of MGM movies, right?), but no. This is, without doubt, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Writer/director J.C. Calciano tries hard to make a movie that looks good and capitalises on the eye candy potential of its two leads, but both Jack Turner (as hopeless romantic Myles) and Michael Adam Hamilton (as Grindr superuser Brody) deliver performances that are respectively horribly lacklustre and toe-curlingly bad. It doesn't help that they're both so bland, mannered, and manicured that it's hard to tell them apart after a while. Performance issues aside, the writing is either weaker than wet tissue paper or just doesn't make sense. Myles' coworker Diane (Teri Reeves) is a caricature strung together from obnoxious sexual puns and jokes about booze and women's biological clocks, allowing the move to espouse some sexist attitudes that leave a misandric taste in the mouth, but even the wisp-thin plot isn't safe from Calciano's wavering logic. The event supposed to bring Myles and Brody's relationship to the climactic point of realising they wanted each other all along is when Brody hooks up with Myles' new boyfriend "Hunter" (Adam Bucci) via Grindr, causing the jealousy and emotional baggage between them to flare into misunderstanding. Except... "Hunter" used a different name, and Brody left the minute he realised the guy was Myles' boyfriend, so there is literally no conflict here beyond Myles taking the fact he misjudged yet another relationship out on his friend, which is not really how the confrontation seems to go down.The whole thing is just terrible, neither character has the emotional range or depth that would have made the story worthwhile, and the actual story mechanics don't work. Possibly the only redeeming quality this movie has is that it showcases Brody being happily out at work with a straight friend/partner (Moronai Kanekoa) who - excepting one predictable moment of discomfort in a gay bar - is wholly supportive and comfortable embroiling himself in Brody's relationship drama. That is definitely evidence of social progress, but it's not enough to warrant watching this hot mess.
zealousreader My spouse and I were on our usually frustrating hunt for something worthwhile to watch. As we scanned over film after film, The 10 Year Plan went by. The cover caught our eye first. I mean really, who could resist Jack Turner holding a rose while doing puppy dog eyes? As we watched a nerdy Myles turn into hot lawyer Myles we hoped that he would wise up about giving away too much too soon. A smart guy would have figured this out before ten years went by, right? Nonetheless, we chose to buy into it because we are suckers for a good romance. It''s really no different than watching an action movie, just a temporary suspension of reality for the chance to be transported elsewhere. We knew where we hoped it would end up but we were not really convinced it would happen until the last few lines. It reminded us of another favorite, The Big Eden. This will definitely go onto our list of go to movies.
helene-62189 What a cute movie! I only watched through the end because it was a cute story line and I could totally relate having hung out in weho for years. That being said, although the actors are adorable and characters likable, the acting was no good. Every single person appeared to be reciting lines rather than acting, so much so, I almost turned it off halfway through. Not one actor was convincing. I'm not sure who these folks are or who did the casting, but it all seemed fake and forced. No real or convincing emotion, just seemed like they were reading lines. I can't justify giving this more than a 3 because of it. But if you don't mind bad acting, you'll like the movie. Just a bit of advice to the actors, put more emotion into it next time and make the audience believe you are the character, not just that you memorized your lines.
