  I 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 "it's what we make of it" is the real message of The Ten. And what I made of it was that I was it's not entertained and it could not make me laugh once. I cannot find anything David Wain does funny. The jokes aren't bad, they're just not done right. Like any comedy you'll either find it funny or not. I didn't so I was bored the whole time.

  A 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 some are duds.

  A 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 little less bad, as it at least had respectable actors and a cool CGI flood in the end. Too bad it didn't sweep away this piece of trash in the process. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there was just something about the writing that felt very lame, childish and dumb. Maybe some people find it hilarious (after a lobotomy or two), but I certainly didn't. Sure, it was original in the sense that it comprised of ten small stories (based on the ten commandments), but the jokes weren't funny at all, so the only thing that kept it somewhat alive for me was the actual storytelling, which gave it a little merit entertainment-wise. But that's about the only positive thing I can say about this so-called comedy. I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. Avoid if you know what's best for you!

  The 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 commandments and tries to be satirical, but ends up devoid of meaning. Overall, its just a stupid movie. I think Paul Rudd is awesome, but he just couldn't save this mess of a film.

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

  Cast: Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder, Jessica Alba, Ken Marino, Famke Janssen, Rob Corddry, Adam Brody, Gretchen Mol, Oliver Platt, Liev Schreiber Director: David Wain Summary: An all-star cast (including Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder, Jessica Alba, Oliver Platt, Liev Schreiber, Famke Janssen, Rob Corddry and Gretchen Mol, among others) appears in this collection of 10 irreverent tales inspired by the Ten Commandments. Nothing is sacred -- not even the sanctity of marriage -- in the humorous anthology written by Ken Marino and director David Wain, formerly of the comedy troupe the State. My Thoughts: "I knew I wouldn't love this film, but I thought I would at least like it considering the great cast it has. But nope, didn't even like it. Wanted to laugh, did none of that. Really disappointed with this one. Has a great group of actors and they did well with what they had, but I just didn't care for it at all."

  Not 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. In the plus column, Jessica Alba and Adam Brody aren't around too much. Lots of great in-jokes and parts (namely the CAT scan segment with Liev Schreiber and the Oliver Platt segments.) The Ten is funny and the humor is great, it's just kind of a shame that the pace of the movie doesn't really allow the film to reach its full potential. A second viewing of the movie pretty much cemented my original opinion of the movie. Although it did leave me with a hankering for Roberta Flack...

  Should 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 ventriiloquists dummy) in the "charming" vignette for the 8th commandment: "Thou shall not steal".

  did 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 skit (although a cameo by Garofolo at a power station during a meltdown was worth smiling over). Most of these skits came off as broad brush strokes - I kept waiting for the writing to step up to the concepts - never happened. And the narrator concept - while inventive, also came off as juvinile and more of a distraction than an addition to the film. I'd reccommend this for the type of people who liked Dumb and Dumber - but compare this to the satire of Dogma and.... well, you get the picture.

  Very vulgar, but funny in spots.

  The alumni from the state get together and give us 10 shorts. More than half of them are extremely funny while a couple are a ok. None the less an overall funny enjoyable movie with some really big laughs.

  Jeff: I was just juicin' my pecks. From the creators of The State, Wet Hot American Summer, and Stella comes a sketch comedy movie, with ten full sketches all corresponding with one of the ten commandments. Paul Rudd heads the very large ensemble cast as the narrator in between each segment. I wouldn't say that the sketches are hit or miss, because I found all of them funny, but there are some that are definitely hysterical and others that can put other viewers off. For example, in the sketch involving "Honor Thy Neighbor's Wife" we deal with a few prison inmates, and the discussion of trading "bitches" in prison, so one can be "ass-raped" by another because of their bond together. This can definitely cause problems with some people. But then there is also comic gold from a sketch like "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods" in which two neighbors have a bitter rivalry by seeing who can purchase the most CAT scan machines. Among the actors, the best stuff comes from Liev Schreiber, Winona Ryder, Gretchen Mil, Rudd, and Famke Janssen, but there are plenty of other people doing a good job as well. So if your into the above mentioned previous entries, or you like random sketch comedy, then loosen up your hold on logic and give this movie a whirl, because it can be very funny. Kelly: I will slap you in the face.

  The Ten is good for a few laughs, but has trouble with its raunchy comedy. The film's an anthology of ten loosely connected stories, each based on one of the Ten Commandments. A number of stars appear throughout the stories, including Paul Rudd, Famke Janssen, Winona Ryder, Liev Schreiber, and Jessica Alba. The acting is all pretty solid and there are a lot of fun characters, but several of the stories come up short and are unsatisfying. The humor is also a little spotty, pushing the vulgarity past the point where it stops being funny and going over-the-top with its eccentricities. The Ten has some funny bits, but doesn't come together as a cohesive film.

• Alec B

  
  Its grown on me over time. As with all sketch centered films some of the bits are going to work and some are not, and with The Ten I have to say its successful more than in falters. When it goes for broke (and then some) its an absolutely bizarre joy to watch.

• Andrew F

  
  <i>The Ten</i> got a few laughs from me, but I was kind of disappointed because I thought it had a lot of potential. Paul Rudd is hilarious, of course, and I thought Liev Schreiber and Winona Ryder were really funny too.

• Brandon K

  
  A must see for any fans of Wet Hot American Summer or Stella. Full of quotes, and so completely packed full of jokes you'll never catch them all on the first viewing.

• William G

  
  Scattershot State effort has some big laughs, but could stand to be shortened.

• Doctor S

  
  What can one say about this comedy about the Ten Commandments? Godawful.

  The Ten is more goofy and strange than it is funny. Hell, it's even a bit stupid at times. But it has it's moments due to the talented cast. I especially liked Liev Schreiber as a cop obsessed with outdoing his neighbor with the amount of cat-scans he can buy. While… More
  The Ten is more goofy and strange than it is funny. Hell, it's even a bit stupid at times. But it has it's moments due to the talented cast. I especially liked Liev Schreiber as a cop obsessed with outdoing his neighbor with the amount of cat-scans he can buy. While Winona Ryder showed some courage playing the part of a woman who falls for a comedian's dummy lol. Despite everyone trying hard though, The Ten was kind of flat.
