When released in 1979, "10" was advertised as "a Blake Edwards film" with little attention to its stars. Marketing must have thought that Edwards' resume, which includes directing "Breakfast At Tiffany's" as well as the "Pink Panther" series, was more familiar than the picture's major stars. "10" however introduced Dudley Moore to American audiences, debuted Bo Derek, and re-introduced Julie Andrews as saucier and sexier than in any previous role. Moore plays George Webber, a 42-year-old composer and student of the older school of Gershwin, Porter, and Mancini; who finds it difficult to adjust to the changing world of music as well as face his own midlife crisis. His obviously well matched girlfriend, stage singer Samantha Taylor (Andrews), just doesn't measure up to George's concept girl, who would be a much younger and hotter "10". When he spots a "10" girl, the newly married Jennifer (Bo Derek) he goes to great lengths to follow (stalk?) her, even having her dentist dad put in 6 overdue fillings. But the old adage "be careful what you wish for" applies here, as George will eventually discover that a "10" on the outside may come with an inside that contradicts his old school principles. Although the story of accepting one's aging is timeless, the presentation has become dated. Moore fleshes out Webber's character with the inebriated persona of a Dean Martin and splapstick antics reminiscent of the Three Stooges. And excssive use of pain pills chased with alcohol probably would not sell today. "10" did break ground in many ways: Samantha's strong feminist comments and the ensuing popularity of Ravel's Bolero as background boudoir music are just a couple. Even though the bedroom scenes with Samantha are tame visually, those with Bo Derek and others more than make up for that. Add the good natured telescopic spying on his neighbor's wild parties, and that firmly establishes the film's R rating. The extras on this DVD are impressive. First, it gives you both the full screen and Widescren versions, plus the theatrical trailer. Second, the featurette is like an extended preview with more information on the making of the movie. And third, there are also biographies and filmographies for the 4 main actors plus the director. It's a still a good story and good for a lot of laughs. Just take it as part of its era.Vollständige Rezension lesen

I saw this in the theater decades ago and thought I had really liked it but I probably was just hugely in love with Bo Derek. It now seems ridiculous and so shallow to me. I threw it in the trash.

If you are just turning 40- or 50 for that matter- be sure to view this absolutly terrific look at man dealing with mid life crisis.Derek is absolutly at her peak for watching, and Moore plays the part of an aging songwriter in a very realistic manner.Chasing a dream(and a 10-Derek) Moore capitulates to all the things men will do when facing the fear of getting older.Hilarious at times, unless you're at that point in your life (which I was when I first saw it) 10 can bring the emotions of men getting older and still looking for that younger woman close to home. a definite movie to watch and enjoy!
Great story line with all star cast. Written by Blake Edwards. (Pink Panther) fame. Funny scenes throughout.
