  • 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)
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 7 out of 22

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

    Fundamentalists might take umbrage, but The Ten is not so much blasphemous as it is very silly, and it lives up to the one unbendable commandment of comedy: It's funny.

    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! 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. Expand

    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... Collapse

    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
