The Ten (2007)

R: As it turns out, this film is terrible. There's really nothing to explain -- it's supposed to be funny, and it's not. The level of the humor is, I think, high school. Not as in "aimed at high school students," as in "written by high school students." Actually, I can only confirm that the first 2/10 of the movie is awful. We left after that. God bless the Gold Card -- we'd have been pretty angry if we'd paid to see the movie.

More importantly, my longstanding love for the film reviews in The Onion is gone forever. Did they like this movie? No, they loved it. Was it some new hack who wrote the review? No, it's Nathan Rabin, who bears the title of "head writer". Ok. Maybe the best skits are at the end? No, some of his favorites are at the beginning. The ones we saw. Sooooo... yeah.

I was going to attempt to see this one at the Loft (Tucson's local art theater), but decided not to go at the last minute. Now I feel glad to have done so.
