Wonderful character development!

Very well executed

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Having never been a fan of Blake Edwards, nevertheless I had to see this film when it came out in 1979. It was one of those "it" movies due to the buzz surrounding its release (like "The Exorcist" or "Jaws"). The mystique was about the young woman who played the titular role. What or who was a real "10"--the embodiment of female perfection? It was Bo Derek who famously played Jenny, the object of Dudley Moore's middle-age fascination. The film put both of them on the map. Though Dudley was known for "Foul Play", "10" made him a household name in America.The film also placed two other items in the public consciousness. After the film, Bo's hairstyle became a (somewhat unfortunate) fashion trend. And Ravel's Bolero became known as music to make love to.The film is well written and well made. It also features some nice performances by Brian Dennehy, as an affable bartender, and Dee Wallace (an under-rated actress) as Moore's failed one night stand. Julie Andrews--wife of Blake Andrews--plays the woman Moore leaves at home while on his tropical getaway.But the story centers around Moore's obsession with Bo and the surprising outcome of that relationship. The film may not be a "10", but it gets high marks.

We all have 'secret pleasure' films - those films that, for some reason, we get immense joy out of, yet might not want people to know. '10' is one of those films.Of course the humour may have dated, but that doesn't detract from what is still a nicely paced, genteel, well rounded and well performed film. But the real joy in this film comes from the skill of director Blake Edwards in getting his actors to actually act. It seems almost alien in this day and age that actors should perform extended shots in one take, where they react to each other without umpteen cuts. But that was always Blake Edwards' thing. Check out the Pink Panther films and watch how many classic scenes featured only a few cuts. It's almost stage acting on film.There are many joys to be found in '10', especially if you are of a certain age and can relate to the mid-life crisis of George Webber. But if you are looking for a movie which really delivers on the 70s chic - from 8-track tapes to disco, it doesn't get much better than this.Approach this film with the right relaxed mindset and enjoy.

Blake Edwards directed this romantic comedy starring Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews.there's a lot of of nudity in the film all of it gratuitous,so if you if that's something that bothers you,you might want to avoid this one.without giving too much away, a lot of the comedy(though not all of it)revolves around the main character being drunk and acting silly.and there is some physical comedy as well.and i have admit,i laughed out loud a number of times.but i also thought a few of the comedic bits fell flat.the movie was also somewhat predictable and a bit too long,in my opinion.overall,though i found it entertaining enough to pass the time.for me,10 is 6/10

This Blake Edwards sex farce probably serves as his apology to his wife Julie Andrews for occasionally letting younger women catch his eye. It happens to all of us, unless we are somehow rich or famous. The younger women we still crave are just not into us older guys. But that's life. And it serves as a dilemma for Dudley Moore's George Webber character. His is a successful, yet undeniably aging composer who just turned 42. He seems to have a lot going for him including a wonderful girlfriend his age (Andrews), a fancy home in a swinging neighborhood, and a nice Rolls Royce. But one day while out on a drive, he catches the eye of a beautiful young bride-to-be on the way to her wedding. Webber then spends the majority of the film lusting after her.This film is a bit uneven when you break it down, but more often than not it succeeds. The laughs here come from Dudley Moore doing John Ritter style physical comedy. I do believe the show Three's Company was popular back then. The story on the other hand moves a bit too slowly than you'd hope. The material here just doesn't warrant a two-hour running time. The script does throw in some surprises here and there, mostly after Moore has located the girl in Mexico. And there he learns that the gap in their ages is dwarfed by their gap in values. It was a nice revelation.The acting is quite good here. Moore is delightful and his relationship with Andrews allows her to shine as well. Robert Webber takes a surprising turn as a gay songwriter partner of Moore's. The two seem to have the kind of relationship Bernie Taupin might have shared with Elton John. Its interesting to see what Brian Dennehy was up to before getting type-cast as the "macho man". Bo Derek wasn't the greatest actress, but she is a joy to behold in a physical sense. And she really gets very little screen time, anyway. Yes, the film looks quite dated, but the California of that time was infinitely more magical than the illegal immigrant and gang infested Kaleeforneea of today. All in all I'd say this film is worth about 7 of 10 stars.The Hound.
