> A new comedy spoof on the Ten Commandments portrays Jesus Christ

>
> "The Ten," rated R for pervasive strong, crude sexual content,
> language and some drug material, stars Jessica Alba, Winona Ryder,
> Gretchen Mol and Liev Schreiber among others.
>
> The movie which opens Friday features ten separate stories, each
> inspired by one of the Ten Commandments from the Holy Bible.

> "If you've ever stopped yourself from murdering someone, then you
> yourself have been following the Ten Commandments without even knowing
> it," clowns director David Wain on the film's website.
>
> One storyline has Gretchen Mol playing a virtuous librarian "who has a
> sexual awakening in Mexico with a swarthy local" who is really Jesus,
> according to Wain. ...

> "This is going to be a very negative attack on faith and values," Dr.
> Ted Baehr, chairman of the Christian Film and Television Commission,
> which publishes MovieGuide, told WND. "It's very sad society has
> descended into this attack mode."

> Baehr is aware the film is a comedy, but says, "In the old film code,
> you couldn't defame anyone's religion."
> He says "you can have humor, but is the humor aimed at mocking God, or
> exposing the foibles of mankind? Is it aimed toward criticizing or
> building up?"
>
> Baehr says there has not been a pre-release screening, and doesn't
> think there will be because City Lights Pictures is not a major
> distributor.
>
> "This [film] is not going to be a major influence," he said.

> Baehr says Adam Sandler's latest comedy, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck &
> Larry" has much more of a negative impact than what he expects from "The
> Ten."
>
> In a column posted on WND earlier this month
> <file:///C:/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56752> , he called it "one of
> the most blatant politically correct, anti-Christian movies of the year.
> Promoting itself as a comedy about two straight fireman who get married
> in order to receive better pension benefits, the movie is nothing more
> than anti-Christian, pro-homosexual propaganda that attacks the
> traditional, Judeo-Christian moral values of American culture." ...
