Summary: One of THE definitive sex comedies of our time
Review: The late Dudley Moore plays George Webber; a famed playwright, songwriter and multiple Oscar winner who has success practically oozing out of his ears. But one day while out for a drive he spies a gorgeous blonde (Who else but Bo Derek?) en route to her wedding, so he follows her to the church and predictably makes a fool out of himself. Undetered by this setback, George embarks on an obsessive quest for this beautiful woman; thus placing further strain on his relationship with his girlfriend, played by Julie "Goody Two Shoes" Andrews; which already isn't helped by George's voyeuristic spying on his permanently randy Exhibitionist neighbours through a telescope.
Special highlights include the hilarious aftermath of George's first visit to a dentist in years, and of course Bo Derek in THAT swimsuit massaging suntan oil all over her thighs. She's enough to make any red-blooded male's saliva congeal to thick foamy goop. She definitely gets a "10". The story isn't that great, but in terms of laughs the movie delivers. This may be Blake Edwards' funniest movie since A SHOT IN THE DARK. Well worth a look, though it wouldn't surprise me in the least if in the name of Political Correctness and "cultural sensitivity" this movie gets retitled "Teko" (Maori for "10") in NZ in the near future. It's a strange country I live in.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Sexy Movie
Review: The movie 10 brought many trends to America. The cornrows in Derek hair began a national fashion statement. It welcomed the fresh British humor of Dudley Moore that had not been seen in this country since the arrival of Monty Python.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Well Transferred to DVD
Review: The video quality of this DVD is very good. I cannot attest to the surround sound features, but the picture quality is excellent. It's a funny movie that captures the sentiment of American culture in the heyday of the 70s sexual revolution. Some very funny lines, and the relationship between Dudley and Julie is very real and honest amidst a slapstick comedy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun but not 70s
Review: This is a good movie but ignore those who say it is some movie that started a trend in the 70s, this movie came out in the last 6 months of the 1970s, way too late for it to have started any trend, it is best actually seen as a prelude to the 1980s rash of sex comedies. Moore is very funny in this and does a good job, but the director is clearly mostly interested in Derek's body, so the comedy suffers a little bit. Still, not bad at all. This like the later Arthur are both under-rated now though they were over-rated at the time they came out.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good movie - poor casting
Review: This is a likeable, interesting comedy. The movie is mostly remembered for Bo Derek, but her screen time is far less than the two main stars, Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews, portraying a couple with relationship problems. The supporting cast is also good. This is a film for adults, with plenty of nudity.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A 70s classic if there is such a thing
Review: This is a magnificent comedy about a male in a mid-life crisis who sees a beautiful women and becomes infatuated. Bo Derek made a career of this movie. No acting skills at all but her desirous beauty alone makes her perfect for the role. And Dudley Moore? This is movie also made his career. In a supporting role, Brian Dennehy starts his career with a great role as a bartender. Also, my kudos to Blake Edwards.

Probably most under-appriciated is the magnificent score, particularly the songs of his lust and yearning for Bo Derek. But it's never as real in real life and Moore finds this out. Anyone married for 5 years who hasn't seen this movie should curl up for an afternoon with this on the tube. It's a classic of marriage, love, and life in Los Angeles.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: "Arthur"-ian realism.... funny but dissapointing
Review: title- funny, but dissapointing

Although Dudley Moore was a funny and talented actor...it seems that he is playing a sober Arthur here. He's just a lot hornier.

It could be said that in this film, Moore represents the common man obsessed with the "perfect" woman... That's just not conveyed here. And Bo Derek just isn't my taste in women anyway.

I thought this film, with it's shrug-your-shoulders "eh, so what?" plot, really wasn't anything special. It wasn't bad, but not great. It's funny, but it's almost exactly the same film as "Woman in Red" with Gene Wilder. Both films are equally boring.

MY HONEST ADVICE: If you want to see a great Dudley Moore film, see "Arthur". His comedy style is personified there.

If you want to see Bo Derek, go out an rent a swimsuit video of her or something. I'm not being sarcastic. It's not worth seeing this film if you're seeing it just because you think Bo Derek is hot.

Rating: 5 stars
