Morgan freeman is an actor, who is about to accept a up comming role, but he is not commented to doing the role until he does some research.
so he picks this mexican grocery store in cali to do his research, he follows and studies this cashier for one day. The cashier is the stereo type of trash.
Morgan freemens comes along and follow her through the day and bascially gives her fresh air and a new outlook on life.
The ending leaves you hanging abit.
The only funny part is morgan freeman and the old latino manager of the grocery store, but as far as that. thats it.
i couldnt watch this movie again, its boring and slow at the end you kinda think wow that was kinda pointless movie.
not worth buying, not worth renting, wait for it to come on cable tv.
just my opinion, more reviews comming Was this review helpful?

Although never identified by name, lets call the character Morgan Freeman. Vega plays Scarlet, a cashier who doesnt give a damn about her job. When its time for her to go home, she realizes Morgan has a problem his ride hasnt arrived, and hes lost in L.A. He doesnt remember his own phone number, he doesnt have any friends to call (his agent and publicist are both unavailable since theyre Jewish and its a Jewish holiday), and he doesnt have any money. Scarlet agrees to drive him home, but he has to accompany her on a few urgent errands first. This allows Freeman to experience the wonders of Target, among other things.
Ten Items or Less recalls Lost in Translation and Before Sunrise, but without the romantic aspect. Like the characters in those films, Scarlet and Morgan have only a limited time together. The films not landmark cinema nor is it deeply thought-provoking, but its smart, funny, knowledgeable about life and people, and a crowd-pleaser (although the movies an interplay between a jaunty Freeman as an unemployed movie star and the magnetic Paz Vega as a no-nonsense grocery store checker gives pic humanity and lift.
). Freeman oozes charisma and Vega couldnt be more alluring (even wearing the supermarket smock). Theres instant chemistry between the two actors and it never evaporates.
If every sliver lining has a cloud, in this case the latter is supplied by the MPAA. The close-minded curmudgeons at the ratings board have awarded the film an R because the word f_ck is used several times. Its unfortunate because this is a perfect motion picture for teenagers who are serious about movies (as opposed to teenagers who only spend their dollars on the latest blockbusters). Irrespective of what the MPAA might claim, Ten Items or Less is a pleasant experience for viewers of all ages. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-3 of 3 Per Page | ||
