A successful songwriter seemingly possessed of the trappings of the good life, George Webber (Moore) is plagued by a sense of that he's losing his interest in life and sex. Despite sage advice from friend Hugh (Robert Webber) on appreciating his girlfriend, Samantha (Julie Andrews), he can't help fantasizing about his exhibitionist neighbors and becomes obsessed by the sight of his dentist's daughter after seeing the stunning woman on the way to her wedding in Beverly Hills. George follows the couple to an Acapulco hotel, where he wangles a meeting with the woman, Jenny Miles (Bo Derek), after saving the life of her husband, Sam (David Hanley). As he continues an amusingly bungling pursuit of Jenny, she makes it clear that she has a particularly generous reward in mind for his action. In Edwards's hilarious, knowing comedy of middle-aged angst, Moore splits his time between clownish pratfalls and quiet scenes of self-examination as he strives for an elusive sense of fulfillment.

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.
"10" explores sexual yearning in a drama that is both funny and right on target with its depiction of the yearnings of men.
10 (1979) is known for its numerical rating system for beautiful women. It described itself as "a temptingly tasteful comedy for adults
Sexist, juvenile, and pathetically structured, despite the gamest efforts of its actors and the blithe willingness of its famous non-actor.
