Review of Take the 10

Take the 10 (2017)
4/10
A lot of the humour falls flat
20 May 2020
'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.
