By the time, the cast reunites for a self indulgent ending musical number, Wains thin central conceit has worn out its welcome.

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

If youre looking for ha ha funny, then The Ten is probably not for you youll be more likely scratching your head in befuddled wonderment.

It never really quite works up the energy to be as wild and outrageous as it clearly wants to be.

Not so much blasphemous as it is very silly, and it lives up to the one unbendable commandment of comedy: Its funny.

The Ten, admittedly, is not Krzysztof Kieslowskis Decalogue. Wains pieces are just jumping off points for screwball improv and inspired throwaways.

Apart from an occasional bright line and amusing throwaway bits of business, the humor here is juvenile and flat...The Ten is at best a five.

Everyone involved seems to have been operating from the presumption that gross and blasphemous equals hilarious. Would that it did.

The comedy itself is hit or miss mostly hit for me, but humor is incredibly subjective, and this style of humor is particularly prone to the either yo ..

Not exactly the stone etched last word on biblical moviemaking, The Ten at least has a rare flair for the non sequitur, and a sassy, spasmodic charm.

A slightly patchy tapestry that tickles about as much as it annoys, full of unexpected laughs but also some torturous dead spots.

Lets talk about Paul Rudd. I think he may be in every film in 2007 and thats okay by me, because Paul Rudd has become an acting Man God.

Too often, The Ten is simply not funny enough, stretched thin by ideas played out too long.

A blasphemous parody so painful to sit through it seems designed by the Almighty as punishment for heathens and sinners.

The Ten is, while not bad, nor unfunny, surely not as good as it had ought to be.

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

One guesses the talent that signed up for this negligible movie did so out of good will for Wain and Marino. Or maybe they all did it ... as a goof.

Wain is a big fan of offbeat, exaggerated humor that either hits so big you think hes a genius or misses so badly you wonder whether hes sane.
