What is your review for the entertainment value of the movie called, "10"?

quotquot

One of the best comedies of the 1970s, Blake Edwards's ode to midlife crisis and the hazards of infidelity now plays like a valentine to that self-indulgent decade, and it's still as funny as it ever was. In the signature role of his career (along with "Arthur"), Dudley Moore plays a songwriter with a severe case of marital restlessness, and all it takes is a chance encounter with Bo Derek - Regarding her as 'the most beautiful girl I"ve ever seen" (on a scale from one to 10) to jump-start his libido. Julie Andrews plays Moore's girlfriend, who will only tolerate so much of his desperate need to reaffirm his s-xual vitality, while Moore pursues Derek to a tropical rendezvous. The action builds to the now-famous bedroom scene that sent everyone rushing to the music store for their own copy of Ravel's Bolero. Talk about a classical climax!
