Movie Reviews of The Ten

Movie Review: Surprisingly Bad!
Summary: 1 Stars

I must agree with another poster... I rarely bother to post, but this one was so disappointing that I feel obliged to give fair warning to others.
I originally picked this up for a few dollars somewhere because I couldn't BELIEVE that I hadn't even HEARD of this movie with all of these great actors and actresses in it! It ought to be HILARIOUS! Then I watched it and found out WHY.
I'm not saying that it doesn't have a single funny moment in it. Almost any comedy, no matter bad, is likely to have at least one or two amusing scenes. But it was so bad that it wasn't even worth the low price I paid for it. I was extremely disappointed, and I am very forgiving of comedies. I enjoy all kinds of humor, and will put up with a lot to get a few nuggets of laughter, but this just had FAR too few to offer. I even gave it to my brother to see if it was really so bad or if it was just my imagination, and he couldn't even get half way through it.
In short, to those who actually liked it - Good for you! I'd love to be able to eat a piece of stale bread starting to mold and have it taste like a fresh doughnut. But for everyone else - beware this bread... I peronally don't think it is even worth taking a single bite of.

Summary of The Ten

Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 01/15/2008 Run time: 93 minutes Rating: R
It's inevitable that a director with a sketch-comedy background, like The State's David Wain, would make a movie comprised of sketches. Written with his Wet Hot American Summer collaborator Ken Marino, The Ten brings the Big Man's commandments to life via 10 mini-movies or "stories," as host Paul Rudd calls them. (Rudd is joined by Famke Janssen, as his wife, and Jessica Alba, as his girlfriend.) The narratives rarely play out in a predictable manner, but laughs are in surprisingly short supply (possibly because each runs a few beats longer than necessary). Still, it's fun to see so many actors cast against type. In "Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of the Lord Thy God in Vain," Gretchen Mol's 35-year-old virgin falls for Justin Theroux's Mexican carpenter, while in "Thou Shalt Not Steal," Winona Ryder's newlywed falls for a ventriloquist's dummy--and runs off with the little wooden man. Unlike Krysztof Kieslowski's Decalogue, the acclaimed dramatic series inspired by the same source material, Wain and Marino have no trenchant observations to offer about modern morality. Their aim is to amuse. If that means references to prison rape ("Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Wife" with Marino and The Daily Show's Rob Corddry) and loose bowels (Aaron Augenblick's "Lying Rhino," the only animated vignette), so be it. As a reinvention of retro sketch fests, like Kentucky Fried Movie, The Ten falls short, but it's worth a look for the cast, which includes Liev Schreiber, Adam Brody, and Oliver Platt. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
