60Surprise after surprise follows in this increasingly dark comedy, which is loaded with sharp observations and exceptionally complex characterizations.
-
50A confusing blend of noir mystery and screwball comedy, Testosterone never manages to reconcile its conflicting tones and ultimately lacks the wit necessary to fuel its outlandish plotting.
-
50Starts quirky, grows steadily darker, doesn't build much excitement.
-
50Veering between black comedy and intense psychological drama, David Moreton's bizarre thriller never manages to get its bearings.
-
50Dangerously low on laughs and sex, not to mention believability.
-
Heavy on the eye candy, light on plot and logic.
-
50Never quite clicks, primarily because the central male characters are badly miscast.
-
50Despite the movie’s lack of anything resembling a narrative center, Testosterone isn't an entire waste of film stock – Sutcliffe, Sabato Jr., and especially the great Braga all act up a storm.
-
40While butching up their hero, Moreton and cowriter Dennis Hensley left out one key ingredient: charisma -- for all his macho swagger, the guy's unbearable.
-
40The cutesy opening of writer-director David Moreton's Testosterone (co-written with Dennis Hensley) turns out to be a crippling miscalculation.
-
40It might as well be retitled "Waiting For Antonio," since Sabato's appearances bookend miles of convoluted nonsense. For the prurient, that's probably too much to endure.
-
We're teased with the prospect of a deeper context.
-
40This obsessive love story about a guy seeking closure after being dumped by his Latino boyfriend awkwardly juggles screwball and noir elements with macabre black comedy in a mix that calls for a far lighter, more stylish touch than the obvious one at work here.
-
40All the male pulchritude can't make up for a muddled script.
-
30Makes no psychological sense. Even within the convoluted realm of film noir, the development of the relationships defies any logic.
-
The kind of movie that produces a particular series of questions: How the heck did this get made? Who needed a tax shelter? Who had money to burn?
-
25Another gay movie that luxuriates in emotional implausibility.
-
20Tedious.
-
I can honestly think of no reason why anyone would want to see Testosterone apart from the rumor that the film contains a full-frontal shot of Antonio Sabato Jr. naked.
