Blake Edwards's riotous, deeply felt "10" proves just how many fresh turns are left on this well-traveled road and demonstrates again that a gifted writer-director can convert the most conventional commercial formulas into a movie as personal, in its way, as "Apocalypse Now." Edwards provides the side-splitting slapstick one expects from the maker of five "Pink Panther" movies, but he gives us something more: an introspective, bittersweet comedy of manners about a man whose voyeurism prevents him from seeing himself...This is the sort of classical Holly wood comedy that will still look good in 30 years. [15 Oct 1979, p.133]
The biggest anti-bonus of all, however, is the subject itself: running
amok in middle-age. The French have already gnawed that particular turkey
meatless. Now it has been passed to North Americans, who are picking the
bones. Those bones rattle. [6 Oct 1979]

Dudley Moore is great and his physical comedy entertains, but something's missing that lifts this movie from its starting blocks into greatness
