(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 80% Fresh Page   1   B "It's a familiar cookie of laughs and romantic winces, crafted here with a fragrant Hughesian flair that saves the picture from cliché."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "Unusual coming-of-age comedy which manages to locate the occasional bit of funny amidst all the lesson-learning and overcoming of adversity."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti B- "For as lighthearted as Starter For 10 seems on the outside, there is plenty of subtle interpretation about how radically social freedoms have changed since the '80s."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey B- "Familiar enough to be instantly comfortable with and entertaining enough to be over with before you'd like to leave these characters."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens B "There's nothing particularly insightful or brilliant about the film, but its charm and good humor take it a long way."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Here's proof that it's possible to make crowd-pleasing, eminently commercial films that aren't pandering or obnoxiously pushy."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2.5/4 "Starter for 10 is a mildly enjoyable romantic comedy that stays within the safe bounds of the genre's formula."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Lying beneath all of these colloquialisms is an amicable 1980s coming-of-age romp."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner B "Nicholls's story attains a mangy kind of charm...McAvoy's got a sneaky appeal, a bad boy wannabe dressed in lamb's clothing, and romantic comedy is a natural fit."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "This amiable British romantic comedy further confirms the gifts of star James McAvoy."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 1.5/4 "A film whose own wisdom about the world seems principally derived from innumerable coming-of-age tales."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Has a strong story and engaging characters, even if it never really says anything terribly deep or meaningful."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "Starter for 10 doesn't really cover new ground but is a showcase for its good looking leads."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 6/10 "There is an utter lack of visual energy at every turn, like every single take in the final cut was the last shot on that day of shooting."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 80% Fresh Page   1
