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.

I do like Dudley Moore. He was a master musician, teacher, and comic. The problem was that his characters seem to bank on lowest common denominator efforts. Because most of us don't have the male credentials to entice someone like Bo Derek, we are left to only imagine. So what we have is a sad man who unhappy with what he has, making a fool of himself. It sets up another comedy by an odd looking little man, Gene Wilder, in The Woman in Red. The parts of the movie that are fun are the sight gags and pratfalls. This goes back to the roots of comedy, to the pathos of a Charlie Chaplain. But putting this into contemporary thought, we know it ain't gonna happen. Bo Derek is certainly quite the beauty, but other than the object of desire, doesn't have much to offer--or perhaps the plot doesn't. This is a pretty forgettable comedy, even with good intentions.

Bo Derek became a huge star as the perfectly cast "10" of the title, a young woman named Jenny on her honeymoon, who is relentlessly pursued by an older man(played by Dudley Moore) who is fascinated by her. She gets to know him better when he saves her new husband's life, after he falls asleep and nearly drowns off the beaches of Mexico. She is grateful to him, and learns that his name is George Webber, a composer who has recently turned 42, and already has a girlfriend(played by Julie Andrews). She has an open relationship with her husband, and doesn't mind fulfilling George's fantasy about her once...Though portrayed as shallow, I found Jenny the only thing about this dreary, self-indulgent, and overlong film that is worth watching. Not that funny either, despite Dudley Moore's repeated pratfalls. The most I can rate this film is a "4".

Blake Edwards directed this romantic comedy starring Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews.there's a lot of of nudity in the film all of it gratuitous,so if you if that's something that bothers you,you might want to avoid this one.without giving too much away, a lot of the comedy(though not all of it)revolves around the main character being drunk and acting silly.and there is some physical comedy as well.and i have admit,i laughed out loud a number of times.but i also thought a few of the comedic bits fell flat.the movie was also somewhat predictable and a bit too long,in my opinion.overall,though i found it entertaining enough to pass the time.for me,10 is 6/10
