...brings to mind the fondly remembered Kentucky Fried Movie/Amazon Women on the Moon anthos from the '70s and '80s. full review

Those worried about incurring God's wrath by seeing The Ten, don't concern yourselves -- by watching the film, you've suffered enough. full review

Thou shalt be funny. Thou, in this case, isn't. full review

Perhaps the Bible needs an 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Bore. That might stem misfires such as The Ten. full review

If there were Ten Commandments for filmmaking, one would certainly be: Thou shalt not pass off sketch comedy as a feature film, especially when charging $9 a ticket. full review

The Ten is nowhere near a 10. Let's call it a six. full review

The actors are so good, and so funny.

The Ten is devious and inspired enough to juice you past any weak spots. Thou shalt be amused. full review

Not so much blasphemous as it is very silly, and it lives up to the one unbendable commandment of comedy: It's funny. full review

It's more a frivolous spoof than a pointed satire. full review

Multi-segment movies tend to be notoriously uneven, and this definitely proves to be the case with The Ten. full review

The Ten is so proud of its own wit and irreverence that when you fail to be equally impressed, you are likely to wonder if your own sense of humor is, in some way, deficient. Rest assured it is not. full review

Darkly satiric. full review

This is one of those films where the humor is of the hit-and-miss variety, and it misses more often than it hits. The jokes are transparent. It's not difficult to divine what's supposed to be funny. full review

A Decalogue for special-ed students, The Ten leans too often toward the bizarre and the bewildering.

You really have to be in the mood to get into The Ten's forced goofiness. full review

The Ten never breaks out of jejune noodling and into something truly provocative. full review
