Watchable but would not recommend

[tom243-1 · 4/10 · 27 November 2007]

This is the first film I have chosen to comment on so forgive me if my review is not on par with some of the more knowledgeable film buffs out there! I feel I should also point out that I have no prior knowledge of the director or any of his previous works.

Therefore, reviewing this as a stand-alone movie, I would have to say that it was somewhat below average. While there were some scenes that I did laugh at and in my opinion the acting was great (though it has to be said that the actors were playing rather shallow characters) all in all it was a rather disappointing film. As many people have said, the plots were VERY loosely tied to the Ten Commandments (in some cases I found it hard to find the link at all) and I actually felt embarrassed for the actors during some of the more cringe worthy scenes. It just felt to me as if they were trying too hard. In some cases the dialogue was highly commendable but in others it was just lacked subtlety. Don't get me wrong - I love humour that is intended to shock and appal but as I said earlier - this film just felt like it was trying too hard to do so and thus, for me, lacked integrity.

Big Stinkin Turd of a Movie

[hellokristen · 4/10 · 31 July 2007]

There's a cartoon rhino in this film who lays big stinkin turds everywhere. That's a good description of this movie.

There was an Exodus from the theater starting about halfway through.

It's just a loose collection of sketches that have original concepts -- but like an SNL sketch, they just keep pounding the same joke in over and over into boredom.

Forget about the Ten Commandments -- it's really not about them or religion -- or anything much. There's no satire even.

If you think "oh I love dirty comedies" -- you'll be disappointed. There's no naked breasts. Just a lot of fairly unattractive naked men and endless ass-raping mentions.

I like "dirty and brilliant", but "dirty and lame" is a sin against comedy.

Not even close to a Ten

[pmdawn · 6/10 · 14 February 2009]

This is a bit like Kentucky Fried Movie, only about stories loosely connected to the Ten Commandments, complete with intermissions by guest star Paul Rudd. It's a bit SNL-ish, too.

The movie uses the same actors and characters in an interesting way, intertwining their stories. There are a LOT of pop culture references here, and I bet Juno would love this movie. Unfortunately some of the best jokes are kinda 'buried' within the stories.

While this is not a bad movie, it's not as funny as it could have been. Some jokes just don't hit the mark, and some are kinda unnecessarily offensive.

However, most of the 'episodes', or sketches, have something memorable and really funny in retrospect, in some weird way. It's a great film for drinking games or for those who like hilarious one-liners.

The greatest thing about "The Ten" are the subtleties. These are the things that made movies like Airplane! and Naked Gun so funny. In the case of The Ten, there's not as much humour or laugh-out-loud moments, but the subtle jokes and set-ups, which require some attention from the viewer, make this movie worth watching for those who like comedies.

"The Ten" has very little to do with religion, and a lot to do with sex. There is no 'christian agenda' at all as some claim. It's a silly comedy with some great moments, and it works as a good, quick escape from reality.

6/10

About 3 commandments worth of comedy

[lhhung_himself · 3/10 · 26 November 2007]

There were some good ideas for the sketches but it seems like the writers couldn't figure out how to develop them. The result is something you might see at a high school production with a single sight-gag or punchline stretched to fit the allotted time. It's not that the gag is bad or stupid (though sometime it is) - it's just that you can't fill 10 minutes of dead time with one joke.

There are a couple of funnier commandments that got more than half a laugh. Winona Ryder is a scream - she of course is in the sketch about the do not steal commandment. (See how clever that is - this movie is full of them...) Unfortunately, the funnier sketches are at the end of the movie and you have to sit through an hour to get there.

This reminds me a lot of SNL - the current incarnation - not the "classic" incarnations. If you watch SNL you'll probably like this. If you find SNL an interminable bore, like I do - then avoid...

A poorly constructed, offensive and dull set of comedies

[btchakir-1 · 1/10 · 22 October 2007]

It has been so long since I've had the urge to walk out on a film... but I stayed through this one just to see the credits. I wanted to really make sure that people I had had great respect for in previous incarnations had made this piece of trash. Unfortunately they had.

Half the theater walked out while I was watching, however. More power to them.

I am an atheist, yet I found this religiously offensive. I am a liberal, yet I found this politically offensive. I am an independent film lover, but I found this cinematicly offensive. There were a few laughs, to be sure, but most of what the creators thought was funny I wish they had kept to themselves.

Moronic

[tamaram-2 · 1/10 · 6 November 2007]

I walked out of this movie because my life is worth more than sitting through such crap. I can't imagine what lower life form would even think there was humor in any of this movie. It was TV humor at it's worst...all that was missing was the canned laughter. Certainly nobody in the theater was laughing. I'm not a prude...not even a Christian, so I can't say I was offended. It was just one strained "joke" after another...stupid life takes on the 10 commandments that are sadly true for some people in the real world. How can anybody laugh at tragedy? If you want to see a good movie, see Dogma. This movie should never have been made.

Written in Stone

[reality_bites70 · 7/10 · 15 January 2008]

(Mild Spoilers)

Okay, David Wain's "The Ten" isn't attempting to redefine the genre of sketch comedy or satire, nor does it pass judgement on the religious iconography it uses as a template. It merely cheekily plays with the idea of the commandments in a smutty and more often than not, unique way. What I think the strongest part of this film is, is its pre-occupation with the perverse and how one can play that out on screen. The repetition of the Spanish word for vagina, Winona Ryder's hysterical relationship with that dummy, Oliver Platt's "Arnie" impression, Liev Schreiber's cat scan machines and the untimely death of hundreds of children, are all irreverent and interesting approaches to the lessons or moral codes of the ten commandments. Whilst some are better executed than others, I particularly appreciated the astute connection between the "Adultery" segment and Woody Allen's films. The use of the stamp jazz soundtrack as the camera moves down a busy New York street, the inclusion of Dianne Weist as a needy wife, and the self-indulgence of our two infidels all really hit the mark. Even their dialogue seems to be mocking Allen's neurotic adulterous characters. Which, as a Woody Allen fan, I really got into.

If for anything else, one should give "The Ten" a go for its wonderful utilisation of well- known actors for comedy. They seem to really be holding absolutely nothing back, and that is actually a thrilling experience to watch. Particularly the work of Winona Ryder, whose drive off into the sunset with no hands on her steering wheel, crying and laughing like a lunatic whilst sitting next to her lover, a wooden dummy, got me so giggly I couldn't breathe.

Shopping for a Pony

[ferguson-6 · 3/10 · 3 September 2007]

Greetings again from the darkness. If you are familiar with "Wet Hot American Summer", Stella Shorts and MTV's "The State", you will have some idea what director David Wain has in store for you. Still, given the talent involved, I was amazed at the lack of creativity involved in most of the 10 vignettes loosely based on the Ten Commandments.

Even the best ideas fall flat and leave us with only a couple of chuckles. Adam Brody being implanted in the ground after a skydive, Winona Ryder shacking up with a wooden marionette, a doctor's goof that leads to his prison "romances", twin brothers learning of their odd gene pool while embracing Oliver Platt's Ah-nuld impersonation, a perky Jessica Alba, Liev Schreiber's attempts to keep up with the Jones', and Justin Theroux as Jesus H. Christ all had potential for true insight into human nature. Instead we are force fed a few quick hits in the "Reno 911" mold.

The ongoing between commandment scenes with Paul Rudd and Famke Jansson could have been classic, and a few scenes with Gretchen Mol will usually save a film. I appreciate the concept but am saddened by the result.

Go Fly a Kite!

[WriterDave · 7/10 · 6 August 2007]

If you grew up watching MTV's "The State" and made a cult classic out of "Wet Hot American Summer," then you'll laugh yourself silly during the latest from the same comic troupe. Others probably won't get the humor. "The Ten" is one of those rare vignette comedies, intertwining ten insanely unique and monumentally stupid sketches about the Ten Commandments.

There's plenty of the same absurdity, like when two men compete to see who can buy the most CAT-scan machines or a librarian (a fetching Gretchen Mol) loses her virginity to Jesus Christ, and random humor that made their past efforts so uproarious. What other comedy would be so daring to make such obscure jokes of Diane Wiest and Timothy Dalton? However, "The Ten" is far more scatological than some of the group's earlier work and makes "Wet Hot American Summer" seem sweet and wholesome in comparison. They also go ridiculously overboard with gay-themed humor. This troupe likes to play homosexuals in the same way that Monty Python enjoyed dressing in drag as a subversive subtext to their comic styling.

While the sketches are hit and miss, it will keep you entertained as the group plumbs the depths of low-brow humor in high-brow ways. Director David Wain spoofs everything from literary chick-flicks to gritty cop and courtroom thrillers as well as emo-indie melodramas, Woody Allen, and redemption-in-prison-weepers. There's even a quote from Shakespeare in the oddest of places. My personal favorite aspect of the film was how dead-seriously Wain directed the segment where Winona Ryder (still adorable and still with all her acting chops) has an illicit affair with a ventriloquist's dummy. The range Ryder displays to make the joke work, as well as the way in which Wain uses the camera and frames the scenes is downright astounding.

Even when the humor is faltering, they will have you laughing at how disturbing some of it gets, especially during the emotional prison sketch. Also hilarious is their desperation to create a stupid catch phrase. Take your pick of "go fly a kite," "juicing my pecs," or the destined to be classic "...as a goof." Sure, it falls apart during the last three bits, but it caps off with some hilarious original songs recalling the morals of the stories over the closing credits. Be sure to stay to the very end. I'm still laughing. I wonder if anybody else will.

Doesn't Get Much Worse Than This

[matthewkirby14 · 1/10 · 31 August 2007]

Wow, this movie was awful! I am not a cheap man. I would never send back food at a restaurant unless it has poison in it. However the thought did cross my mind (at least TEN times) to walk out of this monstrosity of images and to ask for my money back. The principal of contributing money to this fiasco is what hurts and I will live with this pain for the rest of my life.

As "The Ten" went on and on and on and on, I kept telling myself "one of these Ten vignettes must be good. One out of ten is not bad odds, unless you are witnessing "The Ten." I actually went to see it because my girlfriend was craving a film (at the theatre) and I did not want to condone any of the mainstream fluff at the big theatres. Some disturbed soul on this site said they had not seen a movie this good in a long time. Well, whoever said that probably hadn't seen a film since Deuce Bigalow II and before that, Judge Dread (or any other Rob Schneider vehicle).

Long story short, forget waisting money. Don't waste your time. Paul Rudd as the narrator is annoying and boring. Jessica Alba manages to come off unattractive because her acting is so bad. Talents like Oliver Platt, Winona Ryder and Liev Schreiber are misused.

This nightmare spans about 95 minutes and almost every second was excruciating. If I had to name a redeeming quality it would be seeing Winona Ryder in her bra (which was nice, but not worth it). Don't let my star rating fool you, I would have chosen zero out of ten stars if this site allowed it.

Highly Underrated Cinematic Masterpiece

[rtlknd · 10/10 · 10 August 2021]

When you start a movie and the first thing you see is Paul Rudd badly green-screened in front of two massive stone tablets with the ten commandments on it you KNOW you'll have a great time.

This anthology of different short films about the consequences of not living after gods rules is simply hilarious: you never know what's going to happen next. Sure the jokes are mostly awful BUT they're so awful that you can't help but laugh. My favourite story is the one about not taking gods name in vain. The absolute worst one is the animated one. Still an amazing experience though.

Would rate this movie 11/10 but IMDB won't let me so: 10/10.

The Ten is barely a ONE...

[keith-215 · 13 August 2007]

Once upon a time there was a good movie called 10. They should have borrowed on that title and call it "1". As it is the worst thing someone put on the screen. To call it a 'comedy' is a big stretch, nothing at all is funny in that silly movie. It looks like a high school production, and its amazing how some of the actors agreed to be in it. The humor is juvenile, and it is just pure silly. I can't see it even as a cult movie at midnight.... There are really not enough negative comments to say to describe this total waste of time, and money...how they got the funding is a mystery...did anyone read that? Save time, money and stamps before you go see this ONE.....

Took a Bit To Warm Up To, But Gets Better...

[gavin6942 · 6/10 · 17 February 2008]

Paul Rudd narrates a series of stories that connect to the Ten Commandments in some way, usually very loosely. If you like comedies about lying, stealing, killing and coveting your neighbor's stuff, you're absolutely going to love this movie. Otherwise, it's just alright.

My friend Kate recommended this to me. Generally I find her taste in moves to be pretty decent, and I liked the idea of Winona Ryder stealing something (in this case, a ventriloquist's dummy). As it turns out, the film was pretty good.

I felt it got off to a slow start. Rudd's narration is nothing special (though it pays off more later) and the story of a false god had almost no redeeming qualities (besides Ron Silver showing up). The doctor who kills a patient "on a goof" was also a little disappointing, but again this comes back later to pay off.

The stories get better and better and so do the jokes. One story involving prison sex finds a way to make anal rape humorous, which seems impossible but isn't. Another story has men competing over a collection of CAT Scan machines. And the final story, which I find to be by far the best and the most quotable has men skipping church to get naked and listen to Roberta Flack. (Don't worry, this is an anthology of stories, not one linear tale, so I've given nothing away.)

This isn't the funniest comedy I've seen in a while or one of the best movies (for example, I saw "Juno" the week before and it's much better). But it's better than average and if you're a fan of Paul Rudd (who's pretty much at the peak of his career) you'll want to check this out. Even if you don't like one story, they've squeezed ten into 90 minutes so you don't have to wait long for the next. Give it a shot.

Thou shalt not see this film...

[Simon_Says_Movies · 3/10 · 3 December 2008]

If The Ten, directed by David Wain who helmed Wet Hot American Summer, prior to release had been shipped back to the editing room, hacked to pieces, and renamed "The Three and some random skits from the Other Seven", I may be giving this film a positive review. Unfortunately, it is not as such and thusly we are forced to sit through a number of flat and unfunny parodies that are about the quality of a rejected Mad TV gag. At times the skits careen so wildly of course from the commandments message they are referencing, it becomes inane and incoherent. Let me just say that any movie that achieves in making Paul Rudd unfunny, is dead on arrival.

But, as I indicated above, The Ten is not totally devoid of merit, as there were a few short stories that were actually quite hilarious. These shorts could easily have been helmed by Will Ferrell, just to give you an idea of the style of comedy employed. The Ten even has a simplistically ingenious premise, spinning and warping the messages of the Ten Commandments to the extreme, which results in a sometimes quirky and sometimes disastrous experience. Starring Winona Ryder, who, to give you a clue at the average quality of the material is the love interest of a ventriloquist dummy, Adam Brody, Liev Schreiber, Jessica Alba, Ken Marino, Famke Janssen and others who appear in multiple skits in reoccurring roles. Paul Rudd narrates the interludes between stories, and as I mentioned before, he is given nothing to work with. After being so constantly brilliant in The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and even in Friends, it is depressing to view him so lifeless. These intermissions drag so long at times that I simply wanted him to shut up, which is something I have never had the inclination to direct at such a comedic talent in the past.

The stories that succeed the most are those that reference the commandments, thou shall not take the lords name in vain, you shall not bear false witness against your neighbour, thou shall not kill and thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife. (Which is the conclusion of thou shall not kill) My favourite being the middle former, which constitutes Liev Schreiber competing against his neighbour to collect the most CAT scan machines, and destroying his family in the process. The double part vignette that I enjoyed features Ken Marino as a doctor who leaves a pair of scissors inside a patient as "a goof" and is subsequently sentenced to life in prison; this is thou shall not kill. The second part, is very funny, and constitutes Marino's character coveting his neighbour in prison, longing to be their bitch, instead of that of his current cellmate. If more of the stories had been like this, The Ten could have ended up wildly successful. The stories (or parts of stories) that succeed are those that are clear representations of the source, which follows the golden rule of shows like the Simpson's, in that such a show gets funnier the older the viewer, as more of the satire is familiar.

The ending is just as terrible as the Rudd interludes, which seems to resemble a regurgitated re-imagining of the finale of the 40 Year Old Virgin with the cast erupting in song. It is as if Rudd approached Wain and said that this approach had worked so well in his previous films that they may as well attempt it again. I can't hep but think this could have been successful if it had stayed in a sketch comedy show, but The Ten has no substance for a full length feature. I think they should have preformed one more, lesser known commandment, reading: thou shall not subject thyself to said torment in thy quest for merriment.

The Bible itself is probably funnier.

[mishellyjelly · 1/10 · 11 February 2008]

I had middling expectations for what I expected to be a clever comedy spoofing the 10 commandments, but this movie fell flat on its ass within the first 10 seconds of Paul Rudd's painfully wooden narrative. This movie was took all of my goodwill and sympathy (aka. stored-up pity laughs) for the "fresh, unconventional indie film with a small budget", kicked it in the groin, smacked it over the head with a rusty shovel, and left it by the side of the road to die. A *horrifically* bad attempt at satire on a subject so ripe for parody the phrase "shooting fish in a barrel" comes to mind.

The only bright spots were Liev Schreiber (with impressive comedic timing) and perhaps Winona Ryder's vignette. I have no idea why Famke Janssen was even cast.

To sum up; It was rubbish. The acting sucked. The script sucked. The jokes bombed. It wasn't clever or witty at all. Barely watchable.

Horrible Film

[beachbumofFL · 1/10 · 15 April 2007]

Saw this at the Sarasota Film Festival. I am a huge film buff and I have seen these cast members give wonderful performances in other films, but this film was wretched. It was not funny, (unless you think guys raping each other in jail is funny or cartoon dogs having sex with other animals is funny or Wynona Ryder having sex with a wooden doll is funny). I am pretty much a liberal person when it comes to films and what I like, (love drama, comedy, indie flicks, etc.) but the humor was grotesque and the bursting into random song was just plain stupid. People walked out of this film and the audience gave it the worst rating on a scale of 1-5. I liked Wet Hot American Summer, but this seemed to be nothing like that. I cannot believe they are releasing this film into wide release in August. (And I wonder why I hardly go out to the movies anymore...)

Warning-The ship is sinking-Save yourself!

[cannoncory · 1/10 · 8 December 2007]

I found more humor in peeling a banana! Awful to say the least! To those that think is was a good film, Please list your top 5 films. Help me understand your style of humor. I kept watching the film hoping it would get better, sorry to report it died...an almost took me with it. I left out of the movies in pain,,,NOT from laughter! The trailer was misleading. Such a waste of time all-around. I cant wait to hear what the actors think of this pile of poop!If you are given free tickets to this movie, please view that gesture as an act of aggression. Please dial 911 and report this person for trying to insult ( Assault ) your intelligence!

One of the worst "comedies" I've EVER seen.

[dushieblue · 7 January 2008]

This movie was truly horrific. I like anything from black comedies to just very straight forward humor, but this wasn't funny at all. The writing seemed juvenile, forced and all over the place. I mean come on: the stories are based on the ten commandments. There has got to be some humor in ten random rules on which to base morality. Yet this didn't even come close to pointing out anything at all. I also can't seem to figure out how they got funding for this and all these normally very funny actors participated. I can understand how a movie can seem good on paper, but to not work on screen, but to know this wasn't going to work at all you barely have to be able to read. If you are planning to go see this movie: don't!

As a goof

[jotix100 · 7/10 · 16 June 2008]

"The Ten" is an irreverent satire about what must be the principles that have been the basis of most religious beliefs. David Wain, the director and co-writer, has come with a film that will be both liked, or hated, perhaps because of its light take on what could be considered serious matters for most people.

There are ten vignettes illustrating each commandment. In the right frame of mind, "The Ten" is fun to watch, which was the case that happened with this viewer. Some others will probably find fault by the mere idea of what comes out on the screen.

Gretchen Mol has one of the best moments in the movie as the uptight librarian that goes to Mexico on a vacation and meets a mysterious man named Jesus. Winona Rider has great fun with the one dealing with stealing. Paul Rudd is the person that introduces each skit. Other familiar faces include Oliver Platt, Ron Silver, Famke Jansen, the director, and his co-writer, Ken Marino.

The most boring movie I've ever seen!

[solac-1 · 1/10 · 2 November 2007]

The worst thing you can say about a comedy is that it's not funny, because sense of humor is so utterly subjective. So make this your litmus test for David Wain and Ken Marino's collection of sketches loosely inspired by the Ten Commandments: How funny do you find the word "vagina." Is it funnier or less funny in Spanish — "va-hee-na?" The film opens on a soundstage dominated by a huge pair of tablets bearing the commandments. Genial Jeff Reigert (Paul Rudd) introduces each sketch while sharing his marital woes: Married to Gretchen (Famke Janssen), he's sleeping with sexy-but-stupid Liz Anne Blazer (Jessica Alba). Reigert's dilemma eventually becomes the subject of the penultimate sketch, "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery," but that's getting ahead of things. In "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me," a moron (Adam Brody) goes parachuting without his parachute and winds up grotesquely imbedded in the ground; to move him would kill him. An unscrupulous agent (Ron Silver) turns him into a media "god" who drives his long-suffering fiancée, Kelly, (Winona Ryder) into the arms of smarmy TV personality Louis LaFonda (Mather Zickle). In "Thou Shalt Not Take the Lord's Name in Vain," repressed librarian Gloria Jennings (Gretchen Mol) is vacationing in Mexico when she has a torrid affair with Jesus (Justin Theroux) — Jesus Christ. Asinine doctor Glenn Richie (Marino) leaves a surgical instrument inside a patient "for a goof" in "Thou Shalt Not Kill," and can't believe it when he's convicted of murder; in "Thou Shalt Not Covet They Neighbor's Wife," he's enmeshed in a brutal prison sex triangle with cellmate Big Buster (Michael Mulheren) and new inmate Duane (Rob Corddry). In "Thou Shalt Honor Thy Parents," two young black men (Cedric Sanders, Arlen Escarpeta) try to persuade their very white mom (Kerri Kenney-Silver) to reveal their father's identity; the answer involves a chubby Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator (Oliver Platt). Suburban neighbors (Joe Lo Truglio, Liev Schreiber) destroy their families with their absurd one-upmanship in "Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbors' Goods." Kelly, honeymooning with Louis La Fonda, becomes obsessed with a potty-mouthed ventriloquist's dummy's wood in "Thou Shalt Not Steal." In "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness," junkies relate the tale of the Lyin' Rhino, a crude, rude animated prevaricator. And in "Thou Shalt Honor the Sabbath," Gloria's post-Jesus husband (A.D. Mills) stops attending church in favor of Sundays at home, hanging out naked with his pals; the segment segues into a musical finale that unites the entire cast.

Marino founded the sketch comedy troupe The State, and Wain directed and co-wrote the camp-movie spoof WET HOT American SUMMER (2001); the cast includes veterans of Reno 911! , The State, Upright Citizens Brigade, Stella and Saturday Night Live. Everyone involved seems to have been operating from the presumption that gross and blasphemous equals hilarious. Would that it did. --Maitland McDonagh

This could have been better.

[sometimes · 6/10 · 13 May 2007]

I was really excited for this movie at the Independent Film Festival of Boston. I'm familiar with David Wain's (and Ken Marino's) style of comedy, from The State to Stella to Wet Hot American Summer. As a fan of his work, I still think this didn't hit the mark. There were definitely some great moments: The second story was amazing ... it could easily stand on its own as a short. Same with the story regarding Thou Shalt Not Lie.

There were parts of the movie that were so incredibly offensive I can understand why some people walked out - I didn't mind that so much, as long as the offensiveness comes with the absurdity Wain usually handles so well. But most of this movie I was asking myself "what is going on?" because I was genuinely confused and not amused. No rhyme intended.

I can't even remember the rest of the movie, it was so unimpressive. The ending could have been great, but it fell flat for me. I won't give up on Wain though; they can't all be winners.

Blasphemously unfunny

[george.schmidt · 1/10 · 14 August 2007]

THE TEN (2007) * Paul Rudd, Jessica Alba, Adam Brody, Winona Ryder, Bobby Cannavale, Famke Janssen, Liev Schreiber, Gretchen Mol, Oliver Platt, Ron Silver, Justin Theroux, Rob Corddry, Kerri Kenney, Ken Marino, A.D. Miles, Janeane Garofalo, Zak Penn, Jason Sudekis. High-concept epic misfire string of vignettes from the alum of the comedy troupe THE STATE and some notable thespians – including Rudd, who acts as presenter for the shenanigans at hand - exploiting The Ten Commandments from one unfunny set up to the next; blasphemously not amusing. Rent HISTORY OF THE WORLD : PART ONE instead. (Dir: David Wain)

hilarious

[xxmjst · 10/10 · 10 August 2021]

Best movie i have ever seen. Am i confused? Yes. Where the jokes good? Not really. Did i laugh a LOT? Yes. Would i watch it again? Absolutely. Did anything make sense? No. Paul rudd? Yes<3. Adam brody? I guess. Jessica alba? Beautiful. Thank you.

Better than the rating in here should imply.

[Finfrosk86 · 7/10 · 14 June 2015]

Now, I don't have that much to say about this movie, I write this review to say that the IMDb-score is too low.

Here is what I think happened with this. The Tens make fun of Christianity, therefore a lot of people rate it low. Don't listen to these humorless people.

The Tens is not laugh out loud-funny every single second, but it is definitely a piece of light entertainment, good for a couple of laughs. To most people at least.

There are several segments here and hey vary in quality, but overall this is, like I just said, light entertainment. Some of the segments are kind of strange, not everyone likes that.

Paul Rudd is funny and it was after seeing this that I started liking him. Not that I didn't like him before, but you know. Liked him better.

I think I might even see it another time, some time in the future. I can't say that about all comedies!

One of the Worst

[lmond · 1/10 · 18 July 2007]

I saw this film at the UCLA Sneak Previews series, which usually has some interesting films on offer. This was truly, without doubt, the worst film I have ever seen - bar none. It has no redeeming features.

The stories were uninteresting, the music was boring, the acting was barely OK and the jokes un-funny. The "situations" had amazingly little depth to them - they seemed to be grasping for relevance but failed to get there. As the movie progresses from one uninteresting tale to another, the audience, what was left of them, seemed to be hoping that they would come together, as in Crash, but to no avail.

Pure, painful boredom.
