Funny, kept moving, somewhat choppy
If you're religious or offended by profanity, you'll not like this movie. It has little or nothing to do with religion except loosely using the ten commandments as an excuse to have ten short vignettes.
The humor alternates between absurd, dry and ironic wit, and blatant crudeness. I found myself laughing out loud in several places, and then in others mildly bewildered that they stooped to bodily function humor when they'd done such clever humor the scene before.
Overall, I enjoyed it. The style was fresh. I wouldn't wait overnight for it, but it makes a nice evening diversion.

The Ten
A quirky, comical, and off beat look at the 10 Commandments. Overall entertaining, but two stories do drag a bit.

The Ten is a fun fun movie. 10 vignettes each based on 1 of the 10 commandments. Each one is pretty quick so you never feel like the movie drags. Each story is set in contemporary times with characters that overlap each story. The cast is fantastic like always. If you're a fan of 'Wet Hot American Summer', 'The State', 'Stella', or 'Reno 911', you won't want to miss this.
Who would have though that Winona Ryder could ever be funny again? After David Wain puts her in a cheap hotel room cheating on her husband with a puppet, and then cries with remorse as the cheesy power ballad soundtrack soars, it seems obvious.
