Reviews for Testosterone
Moreton shows plenty of ambition in his second feature, but somewhere in the space between page and screen, he lost the thread.

A tonal car wreck -- the equivalent of Chuck Norris crashing though the pages of an Isabel Allende novel.

Top CriticUnfortunately, Testosterone isn’t as provocative as its premise or its title.
12/11/04
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
Starts quirky, grows steadily darker, doesn't build much excitement.
09/09/04
A lackluster and meandering exercise in psycho-sexual provocation.
12/02/04
[Relies] on a creaky plot and gaping lapses in plausibility.
12/17/04
A pointless, wandering tale of obsession that seems to have little purpose beyond showing that gay characters can be in a messed-up movie too.
12/17/04
Limply scripted and flatly paced.
09/11/04
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
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
Silly revenge film saved by three belles: brilliantly campy Sonia Braga, refreshingly earthy Jennifer Coolidge and to-die-for gorgeous Celina Font. You go, girls!
09/02/04
incredibly plot-heavy yet feels light as a feather
04/01/05
Never manages to reconcile its conflicting tones and ultimately lacks the wit necessary to fuel its outlandish plotting.
09/29/04
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
A confident, shrewd comedy, at once sexy and gleefully nasty.
09/09/04
Top Critic105 grueling minutes of film noir-inflected nonsense.
10/22/04
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
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.
