Pretty Good
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
I caught this on cable a few nights ago and, based on the synopsis ("Four friends search for love and happiness while working at a California sandwich shop"), I figured it would fall into the "so bad, it's good" category. Well, it's pretty straightforward bad. Don't get me wrong, there are many an unintentionally hilarious moment. Actually, it's chock-full of unintentionally hilarious moments (i.e. the back-alley beat-down and the cheesy paint-by- numbers mural at the end) which is why the 10 star reviews on here are highly questionable. Charming? Incredible? A tasty treat? Betsy Morris, is that you? The plot centers around three young women who sort out their love lives and personal issues while working a minimum wage job in food service. Does that sound vaguely familiar? Yeah, "Ten Inch Hero" is basically the the less attractive little sister to "Mystic Pizza." In place of Mystic Pizza's endearing characters, we have a group of one-dimensional, stereotyped duds whose personal woes aren't all that interesting when you get right down to it. In fact, I can't even remember any of the character's motives. Was there a plot?I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you've had a rough day and, rather than taking out your frustrations on those closest to you, you need a trite, direct-to-video movie as your sh**-talking outlet. If you're looking for the charming, incredible, feel good rom com some of the "reviewers" on here have mentioned, keep looking.
I really enjoyed this movie. So much that I decided to buy it on DVD within 5mins of the film finishing. Its funny. It's happy. It's good acting. If you want to spend a night in and end up feeling good inside and smiling then watch this film. It explores the meaning of love and happiness and family/community etc... The comedic scenes are good (Hen-period salad). It's interesting seeing how actors such as Jensen Ackles and Clea DuVall can transcend into another genre from such programmes as Heroes and Supernatural. All I can say is they do a great job. If people don;t like it, fair enough. No film is absolutely perfect. But if you just want to watch a feel-good film then this is one that won't disappoint.
I'm not big on romantic comedies but "Ten Inch Hero" was an absolute Gem! It's about this young artist named Piper who moves to California and finds a job at a sandwich shop. Every character seems to be extremely likable from the cook with the Mohawk and his hopeless crush on the pretty waitress (who's the slut of the film) to the insecure but very much kind cashier who feeds homeless strangers. Everyone in this shop is looking for love whether they realize it or not and they all find it in their own unique way. It's really a beautiful story.I don't want to give too much away about the film. I just know I loved the story and the characters. You'll be able to find at least one character you can relate to in the film. I felt like I was in the film like I was actually friends with these people in the sandwich shop. I understood all of them perfectly well. I laughed, I cried, and in some moments I was even on the edge of my seat with curiosity. Find it on Netflix! Watch it! Rent it!
Being a major fan of Sean Patrick Flanery and the chance to meet him and person and chat with him made me want to see this movie because it shows another one of his best attributes, His acting talent! Also being a fan of Jensen Ackles seeing him play a funny yet heartfelt character such as Priestly really gives you insight to his wit and comedic timing. John Doe, great actor and meeting him during filming of "Pure Country" he should be in more films Alice Krieg WOW what a woman she is so multi talented. The girls Clea, Daneel, and Elisabeth are what friendships and chemistry when filming are all about. The girls bring such heart to being together and working together in this movie This is a movie that I have watched on iTunes and finally was able to buy on DVD from best buy and recommend it to everyone. but we need a Bluray with 5.1 surround sound guys
