Movie Reviews of 10 Items or Less
Movie Review: Condescending and pretentious!
Summary: 1 Stars
It's funny when you see an actor, Morgan Freeman, playing himself. You really get to find out how uninteresting a person he really is. If it's being condescending in Target, as though he's in some heavenly dimension, or if it is Morgan simply repeating everything "Scarlett" says, as though we didn't hear it the first time. Or it somehow means more to the audience when Freeman repeats it?....GREAT DIALOGUE!!! Freeman helped produce this garbage.
Paz Vega is alright, at least she is semi-interesting; in terms of what she has to say. But Morgan comes off as a creep in this film with his sexual innuendos and constant staring at "Scarlett" ,and basically his "trying to get her to invite him somewhere" type of attitude. Whether it's persistently paying her compliments or conveniently forgetting his own phone number, and constantly bringing up his own forgetfulness throughout the film; as though we're supposed to feel sorry for him? Come on.
Horrible Movie! The only thing that kept me watching was to see how ridiculous, creepy, pretentious and aware of himself, this "accomplished" actor could get. "Tell me ten things you enjoy" PLLLLLLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEE. He reminds me of a cab driver I worked with. No social skills and a grade 8 education. This movie actually made me mad.
Summary of 10 Items or Less
Once the center of Hollywood an aging actor finds that his fear of failure has made his career dry up and he's now forced to consider a role in a small independent movie. While researching for the role he stumbles into Scarlet a spitfire check-out clerk at a Latino community market. The two begin a trek through Los Angeles finding richly unexpected situations chance encounters and personal revelation that neither character could ever have anticipated.Run Time: 98 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?687797117694 Manufacturer No:?FLP-11769Morgan Freeman isn't really in every movie that's been made recently; it only seems that way. And considering the variety of roles he's had, it's perhaps appropriate that he plays himself in 10 Items or Less. Well, not exactly--Freeman's character has no name, but he is a recognizable actor who's also known as a voice-over specialist, and several references are made to a movie he made with Ashley Judd (although its title is neither Kiss the Girls nor High Crimes, two actual Freeman-Judd flicks). As directed and written by Brad Silberling (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, plus a long list of TV credits), the actor is considering taking a part as a store manager in an indie production (his first film role in four years--nudge nudge, wink wink). His research brings him to Archie's Ranch Market, a grim spot in featureless Carson, California, where he meets Scarlet (Paz Vega, Spanglish), who handles the titular check-out line, a dead-end job which, added to her terrible marriage, makes for one unhappy rancher. Finding himself stranded at the store (his driver has vanished, he can't get his agent on the phone, and he doesn't even know his own home number), the gregarious actor takes the feisty, smart-mouthed Scarlet under his wing, prepping her for an interview for a better job, pitching in when she takes her Gremlin to a car wash, helping her pick out some new duds at Target (where the rich movie star discovers the many wonders of discount retailing), and generally bringing her out of her funk; the two bond, and she drives him back to Brentwood. Story-wise, that's about it, which makes the film almost entirely character-driven. That's not a bad thing by any means, but despite Freeman's and Vega's winning performances, 10 Items or Less is little more than a slight, amusing diversion. --Sam Graham
