Reviews

Take the 10 received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a modest rating of 4.8/10, indicating a generally lukewarm reception. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic also reflected a similar sentiment, where the film's originality was acknowledged but its execution was seen as uneven. For example, some reviewers praised the chemistry between Josh Peck and Tony Cavalero, noting their performances provided genuine comedic moments and a sense of charm. However, others felt that the plot lacked depth and the humor was hit-or-miss, leading to a scattered narrative that struggled to maintain engagement. The film was also critiqued for relying on clichés common in heist and stoner comedies, which may have limited its appeal. While some appreciated the film’s laid-back vibe and indie feel, many expressed that it failed to fully capitalize on its potential, resulting in an average outing that might appeal more to fans of low-budget buddy comedies rather than a broader audience.
