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.

bkoganbing The 10 Year Plan has some of the plot premise of the great MGM musical It's Always Fair Weather. That was the one where the 3 army buddies agree to meet at a Manhattan bar in 10 years to see if their plans for the future have worked out. In this film two roommates make a bargain that in 10 years time if the romantic Jack Turner hasn't found the man of his romantic dreams he and roommate Michael Adam Hamilton will take their roommate status to a different level.With the marriage decision a film like The 10 Year Plan could be made with the ultimate goal of romance the ultimate commitment of marriage for a same sex couple. These two roommates have differing views however. Jack Turner is an incurable romantic waiting for that perfect Mr. Right to wine, dine, and romance him into a happily ever after ending. Michael Adam Hamilton believes in Mr. Right Now, he's got a lot of wild hedonistic oats to sow.I think you can see where this is going. One unexpected bonus was the fact that Hamilton is a cop, completely out and with a partner Moronai Kanekoa who is also quite hetero and completely comfortable with it. Imagine that, things are indeed changing despite whatever roadblocks the religious right throws our way. I found that aspect of the film more interesting than the main plot.Nothing terribly special about the film itself. But the making of it is terribly profound.

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.

moonspinner55 Two gay best friends--one a relationship-minded, domestic type who scares young men away with meals and candlelight, the other a promiscuous guy who screws 'em and leaves 'em--plan to be a couple if neither has found true love by the time they're 35...but since the sexually-available friend isn't interested in romance, there doesn't seem to be a basis for their pact, nor for this movie. Writer-director J.C. Calciano treads where every other filmmaker working in gay cinema has already gone. The actors have obviously been cast by how they look without their shirts on, because God forbid a gay man shouldn't be buff and tanned. Age 35 is seen as a cutoff point for gay sexuality--it's all downhill from there--but panic doesn't seem to be settling in, only a type of precious, eye-rolling self-consciousness that scuttles any hope of eroticism, comedic or otherwise.
