Bo's Hot

This was the movie that made Dudley Moore a star in the U.S. He was already a star in England but not well known in the U.S.A. The movie also made Bo Derek a sex symbol. With one movie she bumped Farrah Fawcett from the number one sex symbol. I first saw this movie in Stillwater, OK while i was in college. At the time I thought it was funny. The movie is about an 42 year old song writer who is having a mid-life crisis after a surprise birthday party. The next day is sees a beautiful young bride on her way to her wedding. He becomes obsessed with her and follows her to a Mexican resort and finally meets her and finds out she's not all that he imagined her to be. Now that I'm over 40 the movie is kind of sad. The comedy is provided by Dudley Moore's physical comedy. There is lots of nudity which gives the movie an R rating. Lately they've been showing an edited version of TV. Without a nude Bo Derek there is not much point to the movie. That's really the only reason I went to see it in the first place. |
