Meaning this movie would get about a two.
I saw this at a matinée in a West Hollywood theater. There were maybe two dozen other people in the theater. One guy laughed. At everything. I think he even snickered at the stone tablets. Other than that, mostly dead silence throughout the entire movie.
The film simply wasn't funny and in some cases, it was virtually offensive. Making a joke out of anal rape isn't easy, as the movie makers proved here. The question is, why did they try? When is rape a suitable topic for comedy? Of course, maybe I am being closed minded and what we really need to do is take the stigma off rape.
The movie makers here seem to think they're some modern incarnation of Mel Brooks or Woody Allen with their abilities to satirize human foibles. Sorry, but they just don't measure up.
Great cast, but it was all sizzle and no steak, meaning most of them had little to do except trade on their celebrity. "Look at me, I'm a big star, but I can get silly in some quirky little movie."
The whole thing had "acting class exercise" written all over it,

This is the first film I have chosen to comment on so forgive me if my review is not on par with some of the more knowledgeable film buffs out there! I feel I should also point out that I have no prior knowledge of the director or any of his previous works.
Therefore, reviewing this as a stand-alone movie, I would have to say that it was somewhat below average. While there were some scenes that I did laugh at and in my opinion the acting was great (though it has to be said that the actors were playing rather shallow characters) all in all it was a rather disappointing film. As many people have said, the plots were VERY loosely tied to the Ten Commandments (in some cases I found it hard to find the link at all) and I actually felt embarrassed for the actors during some of the more cringe worthy scenes. It just felt to me as if they were trying too hard. In some cases the dialogue was highly commendable but in others it was just lacked subtlety. Don't get me wrong - I love humour that is intended to shock and appal but as I said earlier - this film just felt like it was trying too hard to do so and thus, for me, lacked integrity.

This film had a good premise with a load of good actors. How did it not come out great? I believe this film just entered into the "Envy" status.
Don't get me wrong there a few laughs (see Liev Screiber's phone call) But no where near enough to cover the patchy and downright stupid storyline. Why was Paul Rudd's story taking place in the TV studio in which he was filming a program? Surely thats not allowed.
This film lacks smarts and doesn't make up for it with all out laughs. The film could of been the next Anchorman or even Dodgeball but due to story getting lost somewhere and a couple of stories which were just stupid (see last story and story with the rhino) I think what sums this film up is the last scene you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.
I had high expectations and was let down, thoroughly.

There were some good ideas for the sketches but it seems like the writers couldn't figure out how to develop them. The result is something you might see at a high school production with a single sight-gag or punchline stretched to fit the allotted time. It's not that the gag is bad or stupid (though sometime it is) - it's just that you can't fill 10 minutes of dead time with one joke.
There are a couple of funnier commandments that got more than half a laugh. Winona Ryder is a scream - she of course is in the sketch about the do not steal commandment. (See how clever that is - this movie is full of them...) Unfortunately, the funnier sketches are at the end of the movie and you have to sit through an hour to get there.
This reminds me a lot of SNL - the current incarnation - not the "classic" incarnations. If you watch SNL you'll probably like this. If you find SNL an interminable bore, like I do - then avoid...

This movie was truly horrific. I like anything from black comedies to just very straight forward humor, but this wasn't funny at all. The writing seemed juvenile, forced and all over the place. I mean come on: the stories are based on the ten commandments. There has got to be some humor in ten random rules on which to base morality. Yet this didn't even come close to pointing out anything at all. I also can't seem to figure out how they got funding for this and all these normally very funny actors participated. I can understand how a movie can seem good on paper, but to not work on screen, but to know this wasn't going to work at all you barely have to be able to read. If you are planning to go see this movie: don't!
