Fun for the whole family. Well, not really.
by M. Braden
Not as funny as Wet Hot American Summer, but still worth watching, The State fans will love it.

Paul Rudd Used to = Comedy Gold
by K. Johnson (Clemson, SC)
This is my first review, and I use Amazon reviews for 100% of the items I buy online so I try to head warnings when they are there.
If you see Paul Rudd on the cover of this DVD, do not associate it with anything else he has done. This movie is painfully bad. It may mock formulaic styles of movies (as one poster before mentioned), but none of the "jokes" click. The stories are boring and dull, which would be fine if they made you laugh. The only laughs you will have during this movie is the laughter from your friends when you remind them how much money you paid to own this DVD. Save your time, save your money.
5/5
Randomly Fantastic!
by msmugler (SF, CA)
I ran across this movie on video on demand. My roomate and I laughed so hard we were crying. Our favorite is "thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife," but they are all hysterical.
Disclaimer: If you are a religious fanatic, a homophobe, or a "sheep", you will not enjoy this movie. That is to say that if you like mainstream comedy, you will HATE this movie. If you like sick, twisted, but brilliant comedy, it will be right up your alley!
5/5
David Wain Doesn't Disappoint
by Caroline Anderson (Houston TX)
David Wain, Ken Marino, and Paul Rudd do incredible work together. All three of their voices are very evident and if you're a fan of any of them, you'll like this.
You'll notice that people have a tendency to call it the worst movie they've ever seen, or rate it zero stars. The truth is the humor is so incredibly absurd that it won't appeal to everyone. If you go into it not wanting to like it, you probably won't.
I personally laughed the whole way. So has every audience I've seen it with. Some of the sketches are stronger than others (my personal favorite being any of the ones with Ken Marino's character, like Murder and Covet they neighbors wife) but I assure you if you keep an open mind, one of them will appeal to you.
1/5
Suckular at best
by Lena
Luckily, my boyfriend picked this up in the $5 bin at a discount store. If he had spent anymore on this soon-to-be door stopper, I would be irate. I'd donate this to Goodwill, but it seems unfair for someone else to be duped into buying this suckular movie.
I've seen and enjoyed "Wet Hot American Summer," so I thought that this film from David Wain would deliver..nope. The final scene is an absurd musical recap of the disjointed sketches. The finale just didn't work. I thought for certain that this was originally a musical/play penned by the writers, and adapted unsuccessfully into a film--I wanted desperately to think that this was not the intended product. Nope.
Skip this movie. Charlton Heston's Moses made me laugh more than this wannabe religious satire. I wish I could get back the 96 minutes that I spent on this film and go to church instead.
The Ten Summary
No one will mistake Jeff Reigert (Paul Rudd) for Moses or even Charlton Heston, but they all have something in common. Like Moses and Heston, Jeff's job is to introduce the world to the Ten Commandments. But, in David Wain's loopy comedy "The Ten", he is not exactly the picture of virtue. In fact, surrounded as he is by gigantic replicas of the famous stone tablets, the genial hos
No One Will Mistake Jeff Reigert (paul Rudd) For Moses Or Even Charlton Heston But They All Have Something In Common. Like Moses And Heston Jeff's Job Is To Introduce The World To The Ten Commandments. But In David Wain's Loopy Comedy "the Ten" He Is Not Exactly The Picture Of Virtue... In Fact Surrounded As He Is By Gigantic Replicas Of The Famous Stone Tablets The Genial Host To His Special Presentation Is So Busy Juggling Wife Gretchen (famke Janssen) And Girlfriend (jessica Alba) That He Can Barely Get Through A Single Commandment Without Breaking One Himself. But That Venality Is Part Of The Charm Of The Amiable Outrageous And Frequently Hilarious Biblical Parody. Wain And Marino Use The Commandments As An Excuse To Indulge In Ridiculous Often Surreal And Sometimes Tasteless Humor... It Lives Up To The One Unbendable Commandment Of Comedy: It's Funny.system Requirements:running Time: 96 Minutesformat: Dvd Movie Genre: comedy/satire Rating: r Upc: 897246001171 Manufacturer No: 00117
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.
