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.

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

More than simply unentertaining, The Ten comes from an America of silly, laddish self-regard and hollow protest. Go to Full Review

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

Mike H @MichaelT3719 Dec 10 "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 Nov 16 "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 Aug 12 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 tommy J Aug 3 I wanted to like it but it was dumb and sacrilege. See more Jens P 03/24/2024 i can't imagine a world in which anyone could even begin to find this funny. you have to be lobotomised to be able to make any connection at all between the ten commandments and the films. except perhaps for the MRTs. See more Steve D 02/03/2024 One of the worst things ever put to film. See more Read all reviews
