The Ten

January 11, 2008

Rated: R Runtime: 93 min Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

This is a series of comedy sketches about breaking the Ten Commandments. Sounds like a series of morality plays, but it’s really more an exercise in each segment trying to outweird the one before it. It plays out something along the lines of KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE or THE GROOVE TUBE.

Gretchen Mol has sex with a man who makes her believe in God.

Winona Ryder has an unnatural attraction to a ventriloquist’s dummy, and She’s Gotta Have It (Just in case you didn’t get enough puppet sex in TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE).

The protagonist dumps Famke Janssen for Jessica Alba, then begins to suspect he may have traded down too young when she chirps, “Will you buy me a pony?”

The TenAnd there’s seven more stories as well. The connection to the commandments is tenuous at times, but it’s usually crude, often strange, and by and large funny.

There’s a strange animated sequence in the middle of the movie.

Pretty funny, weird stuff. 6 of the 10 commandments were hilarious…

    This is one weird movie. It had moments that made me laugh out loud, but for the most part I just shook my head and looked at my watch.

    I did enjoy the parts in Mexico… vagina! vvvvvaagina!

    There’s almost an hour of deleted scenes here, so if you’re into the movie there’s that much more to enjoy.

    [...] you’re in an artsy-fartsy mood, The Ten is coming to DVD next Tuesday. The idea behind the movie is pretty good, divergent stories tied [...]

Got something to say?
