SunnyHello Nice effects though.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

chimera3 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.

sddavis63 "10" is not an unpleasant movie to watch. It has several humorous moments, a largely likable cast and a good performance - frankly, I thought it was the best of the movie - from Julie Andrews, in a role that pushed her far beyond what her fans would have been used to seeing her in - fare such as "The Sound Of Music" or "Mary Poppins." You could even say that it's an interesting reflection on middle age. But at the same time there's an uncomfortable quality to this movie; it has a bit of "creepiness" to it that made this less than fully enjoyable.Dudley Moore played George Webber - a music composer who's just celebrated his 42nd birthday and who finds himself dissatisfied with life. He has everything a man could realistically want. He's successful in his career, he has friends and he seems to have all the toys, and he has Samantha (Andrews), his quite beautiful girlfriend who he frustrates with his inability (or refusal) to emotionally connect. For all that he has, George comes across as sad and lonely, and in spite of the fact that he should be very happy (what more does he need?) he becomes suddenly infatuated with a bride (Bo Derek) who he spies when her limo stops at a red light beside his car. To him, she's the perfect "10" on a scale of 1-10 (hence, the movie's name.) It was this infatuation that gave the movie it's creepy feel (although the arrangement he apparently had with a guy to spy on each other with telescopes - which gave the move much of its mildly erotic feel - also added to that.) In spite of the fact that Jenny is just married, George's infatuation turns into pursuit - you could even call it stalking. He goes out of his way to find out who she was and where she went on her honeymoon, follows her there, claims a spot beside her on the beach (all the better to ogle her from), and manages to save her husband's life for no other reason it seems than to get her into bed with him. In my view, the whole thing could have been done in a way that would have been more consistent with this being the romantic comedy that most people think of it as. It certainly has its sensitive moments (and the requisite happy ending as George seems to overcome his mid-life crisis) and, as I said, it is humorous at times, but that whole plot just gave this a very heavy and uneasy feel to me.Andrews, as I said, was the highlight of the movie for me. She has a couple of opportunities to display her vocal talents and she just comes across as a very lovely woman whose character is understandably hurt by George's dissatisfaction with their relationship. Moore was Moore. I've never been a huge fan. He played the part well. Derek? Well, in all honesty she's not an actress who's ever really turned my head and her career - while it's been lengthy - hasn't really been filled with major successes either. Frankly, she was cast as a body in this movie. The first hour and a half goes by with her getting her share of screen time but literally no dialogue at all. Once she gets dialogue - she's competent enough, but her character turns out to be not very likable.It's not a bad movie. It was easy to get through and I never turned away from it. It has a fair bit of relatively innocent nudity, a lot of drinking and some drugs. To be honest, I'm not sure exactly what it was that made this movie such a hit among audiences and reviewers. I'd consider it quite over-rated. It's not a 10. It's a 5 out of 10.

atlasmb 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.

hall895 Dudley Moore plays George Webber, a successful composer who's got a good life. He's got money, a fancy house, a nice car and a great girlfriend played by Julie Andrews. But George is not happy. He's having a rather pathetic midlife crisis and just wants to score with some hot young babe. Enter Jenny, played by Bo Derek. She's a 10 and George wants her. Unfortunately for him the first time he sees her she's in the back of a car on her way to the church to be married. George crashes her wedding. Things which are meant to be funny happen there but they're not funny at all. And thus is set the tone for the whole movie. It tries to be funny and it fails miserably at it.Even the worst comedies usually have a few decent laughs sprinkled throughout. Not this one. There's not a laugh to be found. All the jokes and gags fall flat. All of them. What's worse is the way the movie painstakingly sets its gags up. You can see what's going to happen before it does. And you think, "They're not really going to do that are they? That won't be funny at all." And then inevitably, yes they do it at which point all you can do is groan. All the supposedly funny moments are telegraphed and none of them are actually funny. One bit with a crippled old tea lady goes on forever and may be the most painfully unfunny thing I've ever seen in any movie. Moore's character is completely unsympathetic. Jenny, the object of his desire, we never actually get to spend any time with until late on in the movie. Sadly we then find that while she may have a million-dollar body she has a 10-cent head. You feel sorry for poor Julie Andrews who is really slumming it by appearing in this dreck. She gives the movie whatever very little dignity it has. Never, no matter how bad a movie is, have I ever stopped watching it before it was over. This is as close as I've ever come to doing so. An absolutely excruciating movie to sit through. They should have spent less money on Bo Derek's hairstylist and more on getting a decent script.
