Preview: Ten9Eight: Shoot for the Moon (2009)

Synopsis:

Following the lives of several young high school students, part of demographics most prone to drop out, this documentary watches what happens when determination can help beat the odds.

• Poster: D

Review:

I don't even get the "enterprising youth" feeling out of this poster. It's rudimentary, inexpressive and boring.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

I can't figure out what the title means or why "9" is numeritized while "ten" and "eight" are not, but that doesn't really matter because the trailer doesn't explain it either, which suggests the title may be more important within the confines of the film. As for the trailer intself, there have been few less interesting-looking documentaries released this year.

Oscar Prospects:

Inspirtational or not, I can't imagine voters picking this one out of lineup.

Release Date:
