Movie Story


Representing a bold departure for both Academy Award-winner Morgan Freeman and director Brad Silberling, "10 Items or Less" is an intimately-scaled, two-character comedy in which Freeman plays a major movie star whose pickiness with his projects accounts for a lengthy absence from the screen.

While considering a role as a supermarket manager, he decides to do some field research at a small ethnic market on the very outskirts of Los Angeles. Finding himself stranded with no cell phone or transportation, he meets Paz Vega, the feisty cashier who mans the store's express register. When she offers to drive him back to "civilization," this initially mismatched pair discovers common ground, with the star realizing that his love for people is what drew him to acting in the first place, and the cashier gaining the confidence to interview - or as he terms it, to "audition" - for a job that could change her life.

I thought this movie was great. The conversations they had really meant something. The music was pretty good too.

“..a pleasant, occasionally touching diversion..”
by Ty Burr [Boston Globe]
“..moves at an agreeable, meandering pace but never loses its verve or its sharp humor..”
by Jessica Reaves [Chicago Tribune]
“..sounds a lot more like one of James Lipton's "Inside the Actors Studio" precious questionnaires than it does an engaging motion picture..”
by Michael Rechtshaffen [The Hollywood Reporter]
