The Ten’s best quality is also its greatest weakness: it
sees nothing wrong with indulging in utterly random comedy. The
film’s narrator (Paul Rudd), who is simultaneously engaged in a
nasty break-up with his wife as he narrates, shows the viewer to
ten different sketches, each of which represents one of The Ten
Commandments. These are all intended to be humorous, but because
of their entirely aimless nature, the segments are as about
hit-and-miss as those on a recent episode of “Saturday Night
Live”. They range from being downright priceless (a certain bit
involving an Arnold Schwarzenegger-impersonator is absolutely
hysterical) to amusing (I chuckled during a segment in which men
ditch their wives and children at Church to spend Sunday hanging
out naked together) to hideously stupid (I’m thinking of a
sketch that involves gays and prison, enough
said). The end result of The Ten is an entirely
inconclusive experience; the film’s comedy is mildly amusing
when watched, but doesn’t leave any kind of a lasting
impression.
