December 18, 2012I get what David Wain was trying to do. And he was trying so hard. Most of the segments very loosely tied into the theme they were given, and each segment did at one point or another connect to some others already shown, but none of what happens really makes sense. I know, I know... read more

August 18, 2012A series of ten short comedies each centered around one of the ten commandments (i.e., it's the DECALOGUE re-imagined by an alumnus of the sketch comedy series "Mad TV" and "The State.") Par for the anthology course, some are funny (the twins looking for their real father) and so... read more

March 9, 2012A certain critic described this movie as "The Best Comedy since Borat". I hardly agree. In fact, I would more likely argue The Ten to be one of the worst comedies I've ever seen, along with Epic Movie and Evan Almighty. Believe it or not, but I even think Evan Almighty was a litt... read more

March 3, 2012The Ten is a really crazy movie. It feels more like an Adult Swim live action show then a movie and should of just been fifteen minutes long. This movie has this random, hit or miss style of humor which truly buries itself in the ground. It consists of sketches based off the ten ... read more

August 9, 2010Actually quite funny. Reminds me of a Woody Allen mixed with Monty Python and Apatow. A general surprise.

August 4, 2009Not as funny as I was hoping or expecting, given the fact that EVERY member of The State was in this movie. A great cast but unfortunately most of them aren't around long enough to enjoy as the stories are way too short. And that musical number at the end almost killed it for me.... read more

March 27, 2009Should have been much more ammusing (and biting) given the cast and writters that were involved, but still an enjoyable film.
A (very loose) modern interpretation of the ten commandments.
Worth seeing just for Winona Ryders brilliant & hilarious performance (involving a v... read more -
March 1, 2009revue-style movie, with 10 sketchs supposedly about the 10 commandments; it's like the seniors at a drama school putting together a final show of dirty jokes b/c they earned it; there are some pleasant moments and a few great laughs; a few sketches parody film styles, like Woody ... read more

September 16, 2008did my junior high school student write this inane and unfunny script? Heck, most of the skits didn't even have anything to do with the commandment they were supposidly poking fun at.
About the only thing this film had going for it was the re-occuring charactors and the Jesus ... read more

Those worried about incurring God's wrath by seeing The Ten, don't concern yourselves -- by watching the film, you've suffered enough. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Thou shalt be funny. Thou, in this case, isn't. Full Review

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
By flaunting its own stupidity, The Ten practically dares you not to laugh at it, like a stand-up comic who sells an unfunny joke through the ferocity of his delivery.

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Perhaps the Bible needs an 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Bore. That might stem misfires such as The Ten. Full Review

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
If there were Ten Commandments for filmmaking, one would certainly be: Thou shalt not pass off sketch comedy as a feature film, especially when charging $9 a ticket. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
The Ten is nowhere near a 10. Let's call it a six. Full Review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
The actors are so good, and so funny.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
The Ten is devious and inspired enough to juice you past any weak spots. Thou shalt be amused. Full Review

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
A lame and irritating comedy that is an endurance test to sit through. Full Review
