Review of 10 Items or Less (2006) by Ominaeshi S — 24 Jul 2011
I never expressed my overbearing love for this fantastic film. Now you're gonna get it. In this film we follow Morgan Freeman, playing as an aging, down-and-out actor who's known for being in "those Ashley Judd movies" while researching his role in a grocery store.
He comes across a sharp-witted and electrifying Paz Vega, and becoming compelled by her attitude towards well, everything, he abandons his work to follow her wherever she goes throughout her dismal day.
In terms of plot there's very little, but with such a strong duo it's easy to forget what they're actually doing. It's absolutely fun watching Freeman play as himself, while Vega gives Selma Hayek and Penelope Cruz a run for their money.
I can't say it'll please all, but if you're into Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or The Life Aquatic, give this a go, because like these films, this one carries a unique vision.
