The Ten

(2007) dir. David Wain

My weakness for Winona Ryder films hasn’t led me to too many dark places, most recently The Darwin Awards (2006).  This film, a comedy structured around 10 little tales based on the ten commandments, wasn’t something I would have sought out without her attached to it.  The fact that her major addition to the film is a sequence in which she falls madly in love with an inanimate ventriloquist’s dummy and has a sex scene with said dummy…well, this is the stuff that keeps the internet alive, isn’t it?

The film got pretty badly panned,…deservedly so, it seems.  Still, I found several things that I chuckled about and am still chuckling about, which is unusual for me.  But, you know, it wasn’t something that I would recommend exactly.  Also, the film features Gretchen Mol, who is quite cute, too.  And Famke Janssen.

Eh.
