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)
A mixed bag. Some of the humor is outright bizarre, and a fair amount of it is of the newfangled "whatever is most offensive is most funny" variety, so if you love rape jokes then this is the movie for you. Props, though, for having way more male nudity than female--that almost never happens. It hits the best comedic balance in the CAT scanner skit. The cartoon near the end is also really engaging and very well animated.
Less than the sum of its parts and thus wasteful of its impressive cast, The Ten is likely to only appeal (and then only partially) to comedy nerds and fans of The State and its later spin-offs. There are some clever and funny bits to be sure, but they're paired with some dreadful stuff that fails to register anything more than a brief smirk.
Mostly funny stuff here and definitely worth a watch at least to see all the famous funny people before they became super well known. Some of the stories are just too long-winded but the total commitment of the actors saves them from becoming awful.
A great cast and a certain mix of absurdity and unabashed nastiness provided an entertaining first third with a few laughs, which allowed me to barely forgive the remainder of the movie which just wasn't funny enough.
"The Ten is, I guess, sacrilegious in the strictest sense of the term, and its interest in investigating the commandments can be skin deep, as they're often used as mere pretext for ribald nonsense." - Nick Schager
So so comedy loosley using anything to do with the various commandments as an excuse for ridiculous situations. Inconsistent but I did laugh out loud a few times.
If you liked The State on MTV then you'll probably dig The Ten. It's like an extended episode of the show. Some of it works, some doesn't, but it's entertaining nonetheless.
A terrible, terrible comedy. The writing sucks and most of the acting is just as bad. There were a couple of good sketches and the occasional funny moment but it was definitely not worth sitting through the rest to see them.
Blasphemy, mocking of the ten commandments, making fun of death and all the tragedies man can face. Should be fun. Shouldn't it? The first four or five stories were fun and I really enjoyed it but soon my brain went so numb it didn't matter what happened. The storyline between shorties was just stupid. The surrealism was hilarious though.
I love Wet Hot American Summer, and the entire David Wain crew, so I was really looking forward to this, but in the end, it's not as good as I had hoped. It's just really hit or miss, and while the hits are reallllllly funny, theyre just far outnumbered by the misses. Still though. Those are some funny funny hits.
I wanted to like this since I like the State and Wet Hot American Summer, but in the end it's too uneven. I chuckled a bit, frequently during the segments with Mexican Jesus, Catscan rivalry, and the first part of the doctor's story. But a lot of it seems kind of lazy - the absurdity that this kind of humor employs needs some sort of edge to it, otherwise there's a risk of staying too close in a "comfort zone" & relying on a single absurd situation and beating it to the ground.
criminally underrated. the score is too high of course as the film is very uneven, but it deserves a push upwards. how this got such a lukewarm reception baffles me, i mean come on how do you hold a straight face through any part of the segment with liev schreiber, or the as a goof guy thing with ken marino, or lying rhino and the dogs with the stds or corddry and the whole rape thing, or etc.
