A randy middle-aged song composer rates girls he meets
from 1 to 10 based on their appearance. One day, he sees a woman so beautiful that he classes her a '10', the catch is that she's on her way to her own wedding...
Silly sex farce with a few moments of amusement and
some decent performances from Dudley Moore and, perhaps more surprisingly, Bo Derek.
It struck a chord with many audience members when it
was originally released for being unashamedly frank and risqué, but there's too many films released since which go that little bit farther.
It's good, but doesn't get anywhere near a
10/10.
