Synopsis:

The Ten follows about 20 characters over ten different storylines, each of which breaks one of the ten commandments.  Paul Rudd is the "host" of the movie and interjects tidbits of information about each story in between acts.  This is the worst comedy I have seen in years, perhaps ever.  The talent of some of the comedic actors such as Rob Cordory from The Daily Show and even some of the actors from MTV's The State is what makes it suck so incredibly bad. 

The Freak's Rating: F : Whenever a movie fails, I ask myself why it did so.  There are so many factors, be it acting, directing, makeup, cinematography, screenplay adaptation, liberties with the script, editing and even casting.  Many bad movies have a combination of those.  The Ten could be the worst script ever written.

I could see how this movie was green lit.  As a studio head, if someone approaches you and says, "I have a comedy about the ten commandments.  It will be a compilation of 10 different stories.  The characters will intertwine and each story will focus on breaking one of the commandments.  Also, I've signed Winona Rider, Liev Schreiber, Adam Brody, Rob Cordory, Famke Janssen, Gretchen Mol, Oliver Platt, Paul Rudd and even Jessica Alba!"  The executive analyzes the names and the basic concept and says, "Go for it!". 

I can't blame the executive too much.  The cast and the concept was enough to get me to rent the film.  I have said before that I could watch Jessica Alba do her laundry for two hours and be entertained.  I would like to publicly retract that statement.  Even miss Jessica can't save this one.

Jen was listening to me watch this from the other room and had to come in a couple times to see what it was.  Yes, that is Winona Ryder about to make out with a ventriloquist dummy up in the top picture.  Yes, that is a picture of a room full of naked guys on the right. 

About half an hour in I realized this movie was a palette cleaner for horrible movies, so I couldn't turn it off.  Sometimes you need to see something despicable in order to appreciate good filmmaking.  This was so bad that I'm certain some people won't make it all the way through.

My website footer says "keeping friends and family from watching crap one review at a time".  Please, DO NOT see this movie under any circumstances.

Jennifer M's Rating: F : This movie was worse than I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.  Save your money and brain cells for the 90 minutes worth of anything else you could be doing in life.
