ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
Devious and inspired enough to juice you past any weak spots. Thou shalt be amused.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Robert Wilonsky
More often than not, you'll laugh, and that's all you can hope for in what might as well be a prolonged episode of "The State," from which several of the cast and creators sprang.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Gretchen Mol stars as a 35-year-old virgin deflowered in lusty romance-novel fashion on a trip to Mexico. Her hunky lover-boy's name? Jesus Christ (played by Justin Theroux). The segment? "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain."Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
An uneven, sophomoric and only fitfully funny omnibus of skits, The Ten is one of those silly-on-purpose ensemble exercises that must have been wildly fun to make.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
There are lengthy stretches during this movie when it's deadly dull. This is the kind of film that's ideal for DVD viewing. Judicious use of the fast forward button will greatly increase The Ten's appeal.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Carina Chocano
David Wain, director of "Wet Hot American Summer," brings his popular brand of surrealist yet mundane humor to the big screen with more or less dreadful results.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Ty Burr
The Ten is a virtually snicker-free exercise in audience pain. It's less a movie than an endurance test.Read Full Review »
