So much average

Fantastic!

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Would this movie even be remembered if it weren't for Bo Derek? Let's face it she simply isn't that good of an actress, and perhaps should never be allowed to emote on screen. Dudley is funny as usual, but this just isn't a great movie.

10 is a good movie with a reasonably well developed plot and a cast that shine in both comedic and dramatic moments. It is certainly not a typical Blake Edwards movie, from creations such the Pink Panther films and The Party, what we have come to expect from this man is zany, madcap comedies. Here, however, he brings us a very grounded comedy that studies its characters and the effects ageing can have on our mentalities. Bringing this story and these characters to life is Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews, both delivering layered, complicated performances with subtle nuances throughout. I did find this movie to be far longer than it needed to be. Running at two hours, it gets carried away with its simple message and drags on. One of the most appealing aspects of this movie, something that drags people in, is to see the relationship develop between Moore and Bo Derek, but the two never end up interacting until more than an hour in. I just feel it could have been a lot more fun if it moved a little quicker. It was very difficult to sympathize with George Webbler in any way, he is an unkind, self centred man who we are never given a reason to truly support. I understand that what he is doing is wrong anyway, and it is not trying to be portrayed as a wise decision, but the character should have had some good qualities if we are going to follow him for 120 minutes. Grounded, as well as slow moving. Subtle humour and containing two actors delivering some of their best work, Ten is not exceptional, but it is enjoyable, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy, particularly to fans of the great Blake Edwards. After he reaches forty, a settled composer has a midlife crisis and begins to desire a newly married woman. Best Performance: Dudley Moore

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.

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.
