3.5/5
"a foul-mouthed, dirty-as-diapers, Republican-baiting retelling of the Ten Commandments"
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
B-
"In spite of its shortcomings, "The Ten" is an inspired and imaginative bellwether for where modern American comic sensibilities lay at the moment. It pushes the envelope in all of the right ways."

B
"The comedy itself is hit or miss -- mostly hit for me, but humor is incredibly subjective, and this style of humor is particularly prone to the 'either you like it or you don't' effect."

C-
"Apart from an occasional bright line and amusing throwaway bits of business, the humor here is juvenile and flat...
The Ten
is at best a five."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"This is one of those films where the humor is of the hit-and-miss variety, and it misses more often than it hits. The jokes are transparent. It's not difficult to divine what's supposed to be funny."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
1/4
"Everyone involved seems to have been operating from the presumption that gross and blasphemous equals hilarious. Would that it did."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
2.5/4
"
The Ten
is, I guess, sacrilegious in the strictest sense of the term, and its interest in investigating the commandments can be skin deep, as they're often used as mere pretext for ribald nonsense."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
3/5
"It never really quite works up the energy to be as wild and outrageous as it clearly wants to be."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
"
The Ten
has a meticulous rhythm and consistency, with aspects of early commandments informing the latter."
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
3.5/5
"I discovered a solid handful of worthwhile chuckles in the flick, most of which came from the smoothly reliable Paul Rudd and the still-adorable Winona Ryder."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
6/10
"
The Ten
is, while not "bad," nor "unfunny," surely not as good as it had ought to be."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
2/4
"A resoundingly mediocre film that commits the cardinal sin of tedium."
