What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Munyaradzi Vomo  A British coming-of-age tale with none of the over-the-top American brashness usually so dominant in these teen movies. | 10 |  |
| Cape Times Sam Adams | 10 | |
| The Citizen Annette Bayne A light-hearted romantic comedy that doesn't get squishy. | 14 |  |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge | 10 | |
| 24.com Megan Kakora If you need a break from the flashy big-budget blockbusters and are looking for a minimalist dramedy that'll tickle your funny bone, Starter for 10 is modest and unobtrusive. | 10 | |
| BBC Stella Papamichael Starter For Ten comfortably makes the grade for rib-tickling entertainment. | 15 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Starter for 10 is a mildly enjoyable romantic comedy that stays within the safe bounds of the genre's formula. | 13 |  |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Don't mind the featherweight plot. A cheeky comedy with sex and smarts earns a passing grade. | 15 | |
