Anecdotes:

George Segal was originally cast in the lead role but walked off the set shortly after filming began.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When Samantha Taylor uses the operator to phone home, she asks for a number in the 275 prefix in LA (which was all 213 area code at the time). Although George Webber home is clearly located in Malibu, the 275 prefix in the late 70s was located in Beverly Hills. Additionally, the film doesn't use the now standard convention of unassigned "555" prefix phone numbers, and gives an entire seven digit number -- 275-0187.

A good example of how to tackle a mid-life crisis

Having first seen 10 in my late teens and since watched it as a 40 year old going through a mid-life crisis I have to say that it is entirely representative (given its setting) and thoroughly entertaining to boot.

As a teenager in the new millennium you'd probably be a little disappointed in this film given that the film industry and its ratings have moved on over the 27 years since it was made. At the time it was the ultimate date movie for anyone under 30. These days it is pretty tame. Dud is dead (rest in peace), and Julie Andrews has more wrinkles than a king-sized duvet pushed to the bottom of the bed.

That said, it still has a lot to say about the rites of passage for those willing to listen, and Ravel's Bolero is still incredibly sensual. The rule of thumb? Every man is an alpha male to somebody, even at 40. The trick from the man's point of view is to know when you are the alpha male. And when you know you are, to make the most of it. And this film, in its own way, demonstrates this perfectly.
