Featured reviews
It was free on Netflix so I watched it, needing a comedy.
Characters amusing for their foolishness and mutual unreliability. It recalls Houston's "Beat the Devil" with Bogart.
Everyone has a serious problem. You might say their problems get resolved, not solved.
I admire actors who can create work for themselves and that is what has happened here. Produced, written and directed by one of the leads.
Don't believe the reviewer who said this was gay propaganda. There's about 20 seconds of superficial gay angle, purely as a joke.

If you have an intelligence level higher than a slug don't watch this.
This film tells the story of two employee in a organic food store, who are broke but have dreams beyond their means. They steal money from three shop and even from a drug dealer. Hence, they get into huge trouble.
"Take the 10" seems promising from the trailer, but the initial thirty minutes or so falls a little flat. Mainly it is because the jokes are to juvenile and stupid, such as the Asian woman Patty making contorted faces while saying something really silly. Fortunately, the second half of the film is better, as it is more funny in a grown up way. Overall, it is alright to kill time, but don't have high hopes on it.

'Take the 10' attempts more than your average low quality comedy does, but a lot of the humour falls flat.
It is certainly a comedy first and foremost, though sadly it has too much forced sex humour - the casting is also a bit of a mismatch. Josh Peck (Chris) and Tony Revolori (Chester) aren't anything atrocious at all, there's just a lack of sizeable chemistry which I think is needed for their roles. The rest of the cast aren't really that standout-ish, they are all rather plain - with the exception of director Chester Tam's Jay, who is alright.
I do respect the plot to this. It gets contrived quickly and isn't majorly interesting, but at least they tried to add a meaningful premise to the comedy as opposed to solely relying on the comedy itself like most do.
Not something I'd recommend all that highly, though there's certainly worse films from this genre out there.

The film is in no way a masterpiece, but for the short run time(1hr,20mins)it is worth as watch. It has some great moments and features Andy Samburg in a small supporting role.The film is worth a look,on a boring day.There is not much else I can say about it,overall a 6.5 or 7 out of 10.
