Just perfect...
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The acting in this movie is really good.
This film is a collection of ten stories that illustrates the Ten Commandments in ridiculous modern day situations, such as prison and suburbia.Just from watching the first story of a man who stays true to his roots, that any viewer can see the stories are so ridiculous that they cannot be taken seriously. They are so crazy and funny, especially the Sunday church story and the prison story. I didn't quite like the rhino story, but it wasn't too bad. A part of the fun of watching this film is star spotting. There are so many famous stars in the film, some of them tiny roles, appearing for only two or three seconds. "The Ten" is fun to watch, just don't take it seriously.
Now, I don't have that much to say about this movie, I write this review to say that the IMDb-score is too low.Here is what I think happened with this. The Tens make fun of Christianity, therefore a lot of people rate it low. Don't listen to these humorless people. The Tens is not laugh out loud-funny every single second, but it is definitely a piece of light entertainment, good for a couple of laughs. To most people at least.There are several segments here and hey vary in quality, but overall this is, like I just said, light entertainment. Some of the segments are kind of strange, not everyone likes that. Paul Rudd is funny and it was after seeing this that I started liking him. Not that I didn't like him before, but you know. Liked him better.I think I might even see it another time, some time in the future. I can't say that about all comedies!
This movie is hilarious! The humor is startling and original. Every time I watch it I always wonder if Dianne Weist has seen it. And if so what goes she think of it? Hope she is a fan :) This is the kind of movie you have to watch more than once because you will laugh to hard to pick everything up the first time. And every time that you watch it you will see something new.Paul Rudd is fantastic in it, as usual. There are a lot of other smaller parts that are great too. There are way too many genius quotes to put on here but one that I do love is when Paul Rudd says "Lets do this, Lets screw this". The Ten is definitely a ten
i started watching this movie not knowing what to expect and not knowing who starred in it. i started seeing a few actors i knew and said, hmm this movie is prob gonna be pretty good. halfway through i was thinking...wow, they sure found good look-alikes because the real actors woulda never done this movie. finally it ended and my 1st reaction was "i don't get it". the credits rolled and to my surprise, yes the real actors were the ones i saw, not look-alikes.my god this movie is the worst movie I've seen in at least 10 years, 20 possibly, and could be the worst I've ever seen in my life. i just kept waiting for it to "get good" and it never did. i thought maybe it would be like some movies that seem bad till the last 5 min and then you say "oh i get it, yea that was pretty good". nope, sorry to say it just reeks from start to finish. do yourself a favor and don't waste 2 hrs of your life on this. you may never view some of the stars in the same way again...what were they and their agents thinking? i wonder if they tried to answer the question "what is the maximum number of stars you can put into a movie that still sucks?" just pitiful.i went through some of the comments that raved for this movie just to see why they liked it. i read phrases like "i couldn't stop laughing" or "funniest movie ever" and "only intelligent people will like this". well i decided to edit the last part of my review with some spoiler to see if you'd think it was so great.spoiler starts here:in 1 scene, winona ryder becomes so "in love" with a ventriloquist doll that she steals it...has a torrid love affair and has several sexual encounters with it....A VENTRILOQUIST DOLL! funny? you decide.in another 2 neighbors covet each others things so much that when 1 guy buys a medical ct scanner, the other does too. they 1 up each other till they finally own like 30 of them each, their families move out because of this. finally a group of kids get radiation poisoning from a power plant and the only way to save them is by getting all 75 of them into ct scanners in the next 30 min(supposedly a miracle cure is a scan). anyway, this happens at the 1 moment when the 2 neighbors decide to go out for a beer together to make up and aren't home. they watch on the news as they see 75 kids die on their front lawn because they cant get inside to get scanned...end of clip. wow, thats pretty hilarious right? you decide.those are just 2 of the many wonderful skits in this movie. if you thought those 2 were good, you'll love the rest. if you however are like me in thinking "why on earth would that be funny" then please stay away from this movie for your own good.
