Blake Edwards' 10 stars Dudley Moore as George, a Mancini-type songwriter. Approaching middle age, George feels as if life is passing him by, especially his sex life. Despite the presence of longtime ... read more read more...lady friend Sam (Julie Andrews) in his life, he becomes obsessed from afar with Jenny (Bo Derek), who is engaged to be married. Following her to Mexico without her knowledge, George arranges a meeting with Jenny by saving the life of her fiancé, David (Sam Jones). Once he has made her acquaintance, George suddenly finds himself faced with the realities of embarking on such an affair. Beyond renewing the popularity of Maurice Ravel's "Bolero" and turning Bo Derek into a star, upon its release, 10 was one of the most financially successful Blake Edwards films in years. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

    Wow, I saw this such a long time ago, I barely remember it, I should see it again, maybe it's better than I think?
  • October 21, 2010
    I am surprised to see how much this film is underrated and not really appreciated as it should. Dudley Moore is great an actor as he is a comedian, and this is a hilarious story that takes a really honest look at the middle age crisis and inchoate yearnings.
  • December 17, 2009
    A nice comedic melodrama with some good performances. It's not as good as some have hailed it as being, but it's good enough for a watch every once in a while. As far as cinematic midlife crises go, stick with American Beauty. It is rather dated, but because it is, it actually pr... read moreovides a nice look at the sexual excesses of an era before the AIDS pandemic- which I kind of liked.

    I really enjoyed this film - the whole dream thing for Dudley followed by him actually managing to pull this lovely young thing... it's the stuff of dreams! It also shows that you should never give up on your dreams, but also that dreams are often better than reality (hence he en... read moreded up not going through with it) - it's a quality film that deserves more showings on TV than it gets! Of course the gratuitous nudity helped pass along the more boring moments.. and which red-blooded male wouldn't do as Dudley does? Telescopes are definitely NOT useless during the day despite what Patrick Moore might say! So, for sheer eye candy, coupled with getting an ugly man an attractive girl, this film is great to watch - plus it has many comic moments too of course! Marvellous!

    Hilarious moments in the film, not much depth though.
  • July 22, 2007
    Dudley more was a very funny man, but god his films sucked. This mid-life crisis sex comedy is one of his better efforts, but it's still very run of the mill and forgettable.
  • October 16, 2006
    The funniest sexiest midlife crisis in movie history that made Bo Derek looked more hottest.
  • April 20, 2011

    Blake Edward's Hilarious and scintillating, rich, and complex smash hit comedy. About a 42-year-old composer George Webber, played by the late Dudley Moore in a tour-de-force performance. George is going through a mid-life crisis, one day while driving through Beverly Hills, he g... read morelimpses at a passing car and spots a beautiful young women en route to her wedding, he becomes completely fixated on this young beauty, played by Bo Derek in her film debut, she is one of the most ravishingly beautiful women ever to step in front of the camera, and with this film became a world-wide sex symbol. Julie Andrews is superb as George's patient girlfriend, and the rest of the supporting cast all deliver exceptional performances they includes Robert Webber, Brian Dennehy, Dee Wallace, Sam J. Jones, and Max Showalter. Dudley Moore with "10" began a series of hit comedies that included Arthur, Micki and Maude, that made him into a star and a audience favorite. One of director Blake Edwards finest films. Highly Recommended.

Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviews

10's tossed-off quality keeps it from greatness, but it also distinguishes it from the great mass of contemporary comedies smoothed to a shiny, edgeless formula. [Blu-ray] Full Review

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

Dudley Moore is periodically funny, Julie Andrews is mostly charming, and Bo Derek is always gorgeous. Full Review

This passable but not great Blake Edwards picture became known for the huge impact that the beautiful Bo Derek had on hairstyle; Bo's stardom was shortlived, though. Full Review

People tend to forget what a hilarious movie this really is

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

"10" explores sexual yearning in a drama that is both funny and right on target with its depiction of the yearnings of men. Full Review

Nick Davis, Nick's Flick Picks

Sexist, juvenile, and pathetically structured, despite the gamest efforts of its actors and the blithe willingness of its famous non-actor.

It was a big hit. I have never understood why.

And oh, the irony, that the film only deserves a '1.'

Highly over-rated Dudley Moore comedy.

Obvious but entertaining portrayal of midlife crisis gone horribly awry.
