Take the 10

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.

Awful train wreck of a watch, will not watch again, and can't recommend.

The writing in this is awful: the structure and the character work are horrible, and the plot(s) is barely passable, but the execution could be a significant factor.

Josh Peck has clearly lucked out networking since his child acting career to even be in this piece of garbage, and Tony Revolori is so wildly unlikable I even hate him being in Spiderman as Flash, the guy you're supposed to hate: I don't even like him for not liking him. Chester Tam is completely replaceable: he doesn't do a bad job, it just is an empty role.

Kevin Corrigan is the only male actor worth mentioning in a positive light. He has the bare minimum of good acting in this and reminded me that movie COULD have gotten better at some point.

The ladies are the best parts of this movie. Stella Maeva ("The Magicians") and Cleopatra Coleman ("Last Man on Earth") have the best characters: empowered even without authoritative roles, and they're so underwritten that they basically get paid for looking beautiful and doing a days worth of decent acting.

I really wish I had anything else positive to say about the movie, but when the best thing you can say about a movie is, "I like x" or "x is gorgeous", it's a high sign that the movie isn't worth the time.

This movie is really just a collection of random things happening over the course of 80 mins. It's not terrible but it is by no means worth your time.

'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 story is fine but the acting is subpar and the humour is not existent. I think I chuckled once or twice in the whole thing. It felt like a chore to finish it.
