Hilarious sh*t. If you even remotely liked The State or Wet Hot American Summer, you'll be rolling in this thing. To the uninitiated who wants the typical comedy pap that Hollywood Studios churns out like drones, you won't like this. On the other hand, if you want something a little different, a little off-color, a little dangerous, this is the ticket. I was in pain I was laughing so hard. Why not a "10"? In the true tradition of experimental humor, some of the jokes don't land squarely, but even when they don't, you'll applaud D. Wain's effort. And Gretchen Mol..... damn, kiki, she's amazing. Her segments are incredibly good, esp the bit on taking the lord's name in vain. you'll see. This is the biggest no-brainer choice of the summer. Take it from this Metacritic Advance Scout - if you've got a sense of humor, you'll love this. And that's not a goof.… 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

This is one of those comedies where the funny stuff is so outrageously funny that the minute misfires go completely unnoticed. I think you have to be a State fan to appreciate it. The "Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Wife" skit (with a plethora of rape jokes) as well as the "Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Goods" are two of the funniest things I've seen all year. The weak animation, and the sluggish "Thou Shalt Not Steal" skit are the low points. But bonus points to some very funny narration from Paul Rudd. The guy needs his own movie some day.… Expand

David Wain & Ken Marino are geniuses. It was great seeing them last Saturday night at the Nuart for the Wet Hot American Summer midnight show. Their Q & A had me rolling, but not as much as this movie did. You'd be a fool for not seeing this. These blowhard critics above who think the movie is blasphemous are completely humorless. Let them go see Hot Rod or Who's Your Caddy or whatever other benign milquetoast "comedy" is out there. I'll probably see this 3 or 4 more times, depending on how long it stays at the Landmark.… Expand

Weird but funny.

Very funny - Winona Ryder is fantastic in this.

I was blown away by this movie - I wasn't familiar with a lot of the people involved and honestly wasn't expecting much. It's hilarious, like laughing so hard your stomach hurts from beginning to end hilarious. Haven't seen a movie this funny in a long long time. Smart, inventive, and entertaining.

Too many rape jokes!

The humor in this movie is so off the wall it makes 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show" look like a documentary.

"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! Wain and Marino have, again, produced their own brand of comedy that is unlike any of the other crap that has been shoved into movie theaters for the past several years. This is a must see.

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. The bottom line here is that if you like a movie then make an argument to convince us. Don't resort to the facile argument that it's art simply because it's more "alterna" than You, Me and Dupree. That doesn't cut it. Sorry.… Expand

Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen; we finally walked out in the middle--after about half the audience had already walked out. Theatre management refunded our money--and said that they had been giving lots of refunds. Why in the world did so many 'names' sign on for this disaster? And come critics loved it! So much for the 'critics'.

I'm a huge fan of David Wain and the whole STATE crew, but this film was disappointing. There are many laughs, but the movie just doesn't hold together...
