At Bristol he tries out for the Challenge team and falls under the spell of Alice, a lovely blond with an extensive sexual past. He’s smitten, and he carelessly manages to hurt the feelings of Rebecca Epstein, a friend whose politics and wit he admires. The Challenge finale is coming up; maybe Brian can redeem himself and still avoid being a prat.

Leaves a smile on your face – plain and simple.
Surveying the wreckage of numerous other such films – burdened at their outset with flimsy premises, one-dimensional characters, stale gimmicks that coast on the fumes of pop cultural trends, and implausible “meet-cute” situations – which could not be sustained even with big-name talent, inestimable budgets, and plague-like advertising campaigns, I was understandably sceptical as to how the “romantic comedy” aspect of this film might play out when I first sat down to watch it. In retrospect, I honestly couldn’t have been more pleased. Rare indeed is the occasion when I have walked out of a theatre feeling unambiguously good about what I saw, believing that it was well worth the time and money I spent to watch it.The story forming the basis of “Starter for 10” is handled with a great deal of humour, sensitivity, and intelligence. At no time did any part of it feel forced or contrived, nor was it condescending. Testament to this film’s openness and accessibility, the emotional connection that I formed with the primary character (James MacEvoy – may he have a long and distinguished career ahead of him) was subtly cultivated throughout, reinforced by simple – yet heartachingly truthful – moments of confusion, awkwardness, uncertainty, and disappointment of the kind anyone might experience (and probably has) in similar circumstances. “Starter for 10” masterfully captures the spirit of that time in one’s life wherein a person fully enters the world and begins to establish her- or himself as an individual.
So often, and unfortunately, it is the case that I see people on the screen with whom I cannot identify, in situations to which I cannot relate (this is typically due in part to the performers’ overblown celebrity status and the general “Hollywood” gloss that is spread thickly over the top of everything). Not so where “Starter for 10” is concerned.
Perhaps it’s no coincidence that “Starter for 10” references “The Graduate,” since I believe it shall, in time, prove itself a worthy descendant of that film’s legacy and subsequently receive the higher profile that it deserves.
Genuinely fun comedy, with a heart of gold….!
I really really enjoyed this film. No, it wasn’t an in-depth “gritty” drama, probing the dark side of the mundane, nor did it hold any strong political or social message. But this is a sweet, touching and, most of all, funny film.Starter for Ten relies heavily on the charm and comedy of the characters in the film to carry it over a fairly weak plot, but seeing as the outcome is such a cheerful and good natured film, i have no complaints! My own favourite character was Patrick, the oh-so serious leader of the team, but all of the cast were strong and the characters all likable in their own ways.
S.for.Ten left me with a big smile on my face- a silly, feel good British comedy which doesn’t take itself too seriously. Enjoy!
