Storyline

Quirky inter-related stories. Standing by two tablets, Jeff promises to introduce ten short stories, each about one of the commandments. A man survives a fall from a plane and his fiancée marries someone else before falling in love with a marionette; a surgeon causes the death of a patient and in prison tries to choose his mate; a woman encounters Jesus in Mexico and later confronts her husband on the Sabbath; twins and their mother reflect on fatherhood; covetous neighbors miss a chance to be heroes; and, between each story, Jeff's love triangle with Gretchen and Liz plays out. In the end, all the characters join in singing that it's all about love. Written by <[email protected]>

Ten ridiculous stories
11 August 2016 | by (Earth) – See all my reviews

This film is a collection of ten stories that illustrates the Ten Commandments in ridiculous modern day situations, such as prison and suburbia.

Just from watching the first story of a man who stays true to his roots, that any viewer can see the stories are so ridiculous that they cannot be taken seriously. They are so crazy and funny, especially the Sunday church story and the prison story. I didn't quite like the rhino story, but it wasn't too bad. A part of the fun of watching this film is star spotting. There are so many famous stars in the film, some of them tiny roles, appearing for only two or three seconds. "The Ten" is fun to watch, just don't take it seriously.
