Limply scripted and flatly paced.

Consensus: Testosterone is a poorly executed attempt at film noir that follows good-looking yet bland characters through an ultimately aimless plot.

Reviews for Testosterone
This is a movie in which things happen for no reason other than that the director wills them to happen in order for something else to happen, logic be damned.
11/26/04
Broken hearts and testosterone don't mix well with machetes (I think I would have preferred watching the 10 months of romance that they skipped over in the beginning).
12/03/04
The tone-challenged movie is meant to be a dark comedy, but there are long stretches without laughs.
12/09/04
Moreton assembled all the right elements -- a piquant premise, a strong cast and intriguing locale -- without bothering to provide a proper script, a truly fatal flaw.
09/18/04
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.
09/10/04
Starts quirky, grows steadily darker, doesn't build much excitement.
09/09/04
The movie's primary interest seems to be in following several good-looking men wherever they care to meander.
12/17/04
Top Criticincredibly plot-heavy yet feels light as a feather
04/01/05
Slickly packaged and nicely shot, the movie is as easy on the eyes as its good-looking cast. It's also as confused as its hero.
09/10/04
The film’s major objective appears to be showing cute men doing suggestive things. But if that’s your thing, why not just look at pictures? Why ruin it with a story?
11/27/04
Both the people and the plot become so riddled with illogic and inconsistency that you don't care -- or fully buy it -- when an explanation, of sorts, gels in the end.
09/09/04
Never manages to reconcile its conflicting tones and ultimately lacks the wit necessary to fuel its outlandish plotting.
09/29/04
Heavy on the eye candy, light on plot and logic.
10/22/04
[Relies] on a creaky plot and gaping lapses in plausibility.
12/17/04
A more accurate title would be Melatonin.
09/07/04
Instead of a new kind of gay protagonist, Moreton serves up a macho drama queen with serious abandonment issues.
09/10/04
If you want to see a movie with some real chops about gays in Argentina, rent Wong Kar Wai's still-hip, still-smoldering Happy Together from 1997, and happier you will be.
11/04/04
It's evident that Dean is capable of getting many other good-looking boyfriends if he so desires -- why get so worked up over one who's a jackass?
10/22/04
Woefully shallow.
