  • Starring: Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder
  • Summary: The Ten is comprised of ten blasphemous and hysterical stories inspired by the Biblical Commandments, each told in a different style, but with characters and themes that overlap. The film is held together by a narrator who, in turn, has his own moral problems. (THINKFilm)

    Devious and inspired enough to juice you past any weak spots. Thou shalt be amused.

    Let's talk about Paul Rudd. I think he may be in every film in 2007 and that's okay by me, because Paul Rudd has become an acting Man-God.

    The Ten changes tone every few minutes, ranging from lowbrow gross-out gags to elevated language to a big, sloppy musical number.

    "The Ten' really is amazing. The humor really does take some getting used to but when I saw it a second time (i've seen it three times now, already) I could not stop laughing!

    Hey, Blanco A. I could tell you that this movie is, "typical comedy pap that Hollywood Studios churns out like drones." I mean, really, you're not getting your comedy needs satiated at the Film Forum? Good God, you're such a philistine. I really pity you.

That doesn't cut it. Sorry.… Expand

    It's true that there are many rape jokes in this movie. This isn't generally a problem, in fact I love rape jokes and have a few zingers I've made up myself. The problem here is that the rape jokes aren't very funny. Everyone knows that rape jokes are only funny if they involve clowns, small children, or some combination of the two. The rape jokes in this movie lacked those crucial elements, therefore rendering the jokes mirthless and at times mean-spirited. For better rape jokes check out one of the Zelda games. And don't roll your eyes at that, it's all about the subtext.… Expand
