"The Ten" is an irreverent satire about what must be the principles that have been the basis of most religious beliefs. David Wain, the director and co-writer, has come with a film that will be both liked, or hated, perhaps because of its light take on what could be considered serious matters for most people.
There are ten vignettes illustrating each commandment. In the right frame of mind, "The Ten" is fun to watch, which was the case that happened with this viewer. Some others will probably find fault by the mere idea of what comes out on the screen.
Gretchen Mol has one of the best moments in the movie as the uptight librarian that goes to Mexico on a vacation and meets a mysterious man named Jesus. Winona Rider has great fun with the one dealing with stealing. Paul Rudd is the person that introduces each skit. Other familiar faces include Oliver Platt, Ron Silver, Famke Jansen, the director, and his co-writer, Ken Marino.
