What to Know

Critics Consensus

Although a few of the sketches that make up The Ten are humorous, the uneven and random tone of the film cause it to fall apart.

...brings to mind the fondly remembered Kentucky Fried Movie/Amazon Women on the Moon anthos from the '70s and '80s. Go to Full Review Scott Craven Arizona Republic Aug 30, 2007

If you're looking for ha-ha funny, then The Ten is probably not for you -- you'll be more likely scratching your head in befuddled wonderment. Go to Full Review Felicia Feaster Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020
More than simply unentertaining, The Ten comes from an America of silly, laddish self-regard and hollow protest. Go to Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune Jul 24, 2009
1/4
The beyond-goofy collection of Commandment-inspired vignettes has funny moments, but it's a wildly uneven anthology, with three or four clunkers for every genuine chuckle. Go to Full Review Rossiter Drake San Francisco Examiner Apr 22, 2008
2/4
Rudd, whose wry deadpan proved indispensable in Judd Apatow comedies like 'The 40 Year-Old Virgin' and 'Knocked Up,' is used here mostly as a straight man, the host in charge of introducing stories that drift along without any real destination. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert P @Superbad Oct 26, 2026 The Ten is a *2* star Movie! See more Jason H @RT50328122 Aug 19, 2026 A very funny movie that's not for everyone. See more Par H @Parhwy Apr 21, 2026 The Ten (2007) is a 97-minute-long comedy from the USA I saw on Prime in April 2026. This is a weird movie/skit-show cross-over which sees a compare introduce ten skits, each based on one of the Abrahamic 10 commandments. It’s mildly funny, where the humour is crass, oddball and deadpan. 2007 was a different time, I guess. Rewatch? No. Recommend? No. 3/10. See more Mike H @MichaelT3719 Dec 10, 2025 "Goof"y, slapstick, tongue in cheek...ok, you could say silly and stupid if ya want, but it's friggin Funny. It sure entertained me. Whale of a cast too. See more Eric C @EricC2323 Nov 16, 2025 "Come on it was a goof!!!" little behind the times on this one, but I’m old so I still got some chuckles out of it. Mel Brooks movies/airplane if you like those movies, you probably think it’s funny. See more M S @RT81773893 Aug 12, 2025 The music at the end of the movie along with the music of the end credits made it make sense ... and was funny. Great actors made it all tolerable and Winona Ryder was primo ! See more Read all reviews
