It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

When I was a kid, we had all sorts of books on classic movies around our house. Of the many that piqued my interest then was "10," for whatever the reason. Maybe it was seeing a young Bo Derek (who is a figure of Summerfest in Milwaukee, where I live) coming up from the sea. After my brother and I sat down to watch this some time later, it was very much of a let-down and wasn't even appropriately titled.Another Blake Edwards movie, it features Dudley Moore as a typical soul who falls into a mid-life crisis and questions his life choices. He has a great S.O. named Sam (Julie Andrews) who puts up with him every single day but doesn't mind it. One thing leads to another and he separates from her and goes down to Mexico to gather himself.He has a run-in with an old friend named Mary (Dee Wallace) and try to have some fun together, but it doesn't work. Then comes the iconic scene where he's on the beach and he runs across Jenny Miles (Bo Derek in her heyday). The two get to talking and they have a romantic night together; the only thing that Mr. Moore doesn't know about Jenny is that she's married. The straw that breaks the camel's back is when the two have a great night together and she gets a call from her husband. True to form, the two break it off and never speak to each other again. He then heads back to Sam to rekindle their relationship, which surprises her to no end.I would hardly call this a comedy. "Victor Victoria" was a comedy. Here it just seems like Dudley, Bo, and Julie were just phoning it in. Blake, too. This movie just drones on and on and is probably the inspiration for the later movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Julie was in here for all of maybe 20-25 minutes, hardly worth a credit. Bo was in here for about the same time and not much of the focus was really on her, contrary to popular belief. The one who demanded the most attention was Dudley, who literally had to be in every single scene. In all fairness, that was hardly necessary.As I stated in my title, I wouldn't even call this "10" or give it a 10. It is a typical droning movie that has no real comedy. When it all comes down to it, it is just putting a real mid-life crisis to film and nothing more. This doesn't even belong in the same class as "Victor Victoria" or anything else that Blake may have done.

I do like Dudley Moore. He was a master musician, teacher, and comic. The problem was that his characters seem to bank on lowest common denominator efforts. Because most of us don't have the male credentials to entice someone like Bo Derek, we are left to only imagine. So what we have is a sad man who unhappy with what he has, making a fool of himself. It sets up another comedy by an odd looking little man, Gene Wilder, in The Woman in Red. The parts of the movie that are fun are the sight gags and pratfalls. This goes back to the roots of comedy, to the pathos of a Charlie Chaplain. But putting this into contemporary thought, we know it ain't gonna happen. Bo Derek is certainly quite the beauty, but other than the object of desire, doesn't have much to offer--or perhaps the plot doesn't. This is a pretty forgettable comedy, even with good intentions.

This picture hit the movie screen on October 5 1979 Starring: Dudley Moore as George Webber, Julie Andrews as Samantha Taylor, and Bo Derek as Jenny Hanley.Summary: The picture opens with Samantha giving a surprise birthday party for her good friend George Webber. After the party and a good night sleep, George gets up an goes to the local club. George is a songwriter and likes to go to the club to play the piano. After playing the piano, George gets in his car and starts for home. While sitting at a stop sign, George looks over to the car next to him where he sees a beautiful blonde-haired woman in the back sit of a Royce with her wedding gown on. George decides he's going to follow the Royce to see where it's going. Every turn the Royce made, George would make the same turn. When the Royce stops at a local church, George decides to go around it and hits a police car head on in the process. So now, George has to try to explain to the officer why he was driving like that. After hearing George explanation, he decides to give George a ticket anyway. George is given a ticket for the following, an expire drivers license, no registration, no insurance and wreck less driving. So after the police leave George pulls his car of the road and tries to sneak into the church to see the wedding. While hiding near the flowers so no one could him, a bee crawls up his nose and he gets stung and knocks over the flowers. Therefore, after the day he has had, he gets into his car and heads for home. After having a couple of drinks, George goes out onto his porch to look in his telescope. Now most people have telescopes to look at the stars, however, George uses his for looking across the grounds into other people's bedroom. Therefore, George and Samantha get into bed and start to talk when George uses the word broad. After getting into an argument about the word instead of spending the night Samantha gets her stuff and heads home leaving George to spend the night alone. The next day George has to go to the dentist to get work done on his mouth. After several hours in the dentist chair, the dentist gives George a prescription for pain pills. The problem George has is he also has cotton in his mouth and can't talk right. Therefore, Samantha calls a couple of times and when George answers the phone, she can't understand what he's saying so she keeps hanging up on him. So after several more tries Samantha calls the police to go to George house to check on him. In the mean time, George has been mixing his pain pills with his scotch and by the time, the police get to George house he's feeling no pain at all. After things continue to go wrong, George calls a travel agent and makes a trip to go to Aural Mexico. After his plane lands and being as drunk as a skunk, George goes straight to his room an passes out. After sleeping of his scotch, George goes to the lounge for a cup of much needed coffee; the bride he saw in the car comes over and sits down beside him. Now things are going off the wall and George doesn't no what to do next. Here's some extra news and notes about this film. George Segal was suppose to play the role of George Webber but walked off the set shortly after production started. The song that was being played during the love scene with Dudley Moore and Bo Derek was titled Ravel's, which means Bolero. Later in Bo Derek's career she would star in a movie titled Bolero, which hit the screen in 1984. Although this movie's title was widely understood to say that Bo Derek's looks rated 10 out of 10, the rating actually given to her character's looks in the scene where the subject arises is 11 out of 10.My Thoughts: However, I don't think that Bo Derek should have been cast for this role. There were several actresses that I think could have fill the role a lot better. Raquel Welch would have looked good running down a beach in a one-piece suit. In addition, Lynda Carter, Rosa Blasi, and Jaclyn Smith would have filled the role far better then Bo Derek. When you talk about all three actresses Lynda, Raquel, Rosa, and Jaclyn are far more then tens and would have made the movie a lot better. Therefore, the weasel stars I can give this movie is 8

If your idea of comedy falls in line with Mall Cop or The Hangover, this might not be the film for you. But it could be an eye opener.Revisiting "10" in the age of 3D corporate movies is like sitting down to a homemade feast prepared by that someone who really knows what they're doing - and keeps the wine flowing to loosen up the party. It's spicy while delicate, filling, but keeping you wanting more.Like so many greats of the '70s, it is personal and human to a fault. Above all this is a comedy about people: warts, slurs, bee stings, intoxication and all. Dudley Moore plays Beverly Hills composer George Webber like a virtuoso. A diminutive, somewhat immature, borderline alcoholic suffering from midlife crisis, he stalks a young "perfect 10" newlywed, stunningly portrayed by uber sex-symbol-to-be Bo Derek. George is about the last person you'd imagine rooting for, and yet, because of his charm, his abilities and his great wit, like a troubled friend we are right by his side. Perhaps most importantly, like all great comedies, his faults and excesses are grand caricatures of our own. There is a process he must go through; and as we may have already learned in our own experience, there is no way around it. But George is not the only one to gain our attention. Like a Robert Altman film, "10" is chock full of well rounded characters, being especially ahead of it's time by casting manly Robert Webber as George's gay song writing partner. Others have stated here that Julie Andrews - George's strong-natured girlfriend - is not alluring. But isn't that the point? How many men have beauty pageant girlfriends? In such casting, we go on George's journey to find out what's really important.While "10" plunges the human condition with authority, it never forgets that it is entertainment, and it's brand is comedy. "10" successfully manages to pepper its human dramas with deft pratfalls, abundant T&A and a steady course of stimulants that belonged to a screens of a different era. The witty banter is of the likes of Preston Sturges, updated to the Woody Allen era. Blake Edwards can have you rolling with laughter, salivating over a hot body, and then nearly in tears with just a man at a piano, unable to come to terms with himself and his world.Roger Ebert has an eloquent review which you can access here. In it he states, "There used to be a time, incredibly, when you couldn't have something just because you wanted it. "10" remembers that time." Along with George, I mourn this bygone era. As of this post, IMDb's user's review of 5.9 is not only a slap in the face, but a sad reflection on the movie going public in the day of the Movie McMuffin.
