In last week's Times' coverage of Sundance, Virginia Heffernan Manohla Dargis made a snide comment about an allegedly overhyped comedy that, from her description, may have been The Ten, an ensemble sketch film that sold on Friday for $4.5 mil.
If that was the film she was talking about, Heffernan Dargis has her head up her ass. I saw a rough cut a few months ago (a friend of mine is the editor) and laughed as hard as I later would at Borat. ThinkFilm's prexy calls it a ""a very smart brand of seemingly dumb comedy". That's pretty accurate, though I'd have said that it's smart comedy about dumb comedy � a Zucker-Abrams-Zucker movie for the irony generation. Watch for it in August.
