A Disappointing Continuation

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Blistering performances.

Morgan Freeman plays itself! '10 Items or Less ' is a film about reality as it can happen to anyone. Awesome! I love it that man! And it plays very well! Starting from this Zilbarling Brad, let things happen gradually and naturally - without effects, without further prompting and without a trace of an attempt to manipulate perceptions. This film looks like a scene from life itself. I like the lightweight style, as if everything is a joke. The girl plays a very casual, finally I fell in love with it (really)! She is cute! Overall the movie is very entertaining and relaxing. Binding in a dull Saturday night. Spanish flavor is very sexy! I've read many comments that the film is weak, slow that Morgan is exposed. Each with its taste, this is a movie for fun, not for action or drama. The atmosphere is kind of another time. It's fun! I recommend!

Just two really good actors, and a smart script. Nothing to get excited about. You've seen better. But you sure as hell have seen worse. This movie was worth the price of admission for Morgan Freeman's understated and warm performance. How much do you love this guy? And Paz is gorgeous, and truly wonderful. I wish I could hang out with her for a day, and eat Arby's. The actors in the small roles were all very good, and added a nice touch of realism.The understated camera work, and use of locations was surprisingly effective as well.Very nice.

One can only hope that there are many times when someone as powerful as Morgan Freeman can take the time to assist someone who needs help.It all comes down to loving people. As Will Rogers said, "I never met a man I didn't like." Of course, if you meet Paz Vega, what's not to like? That smile of hers can melt diamonds. She is just so fantastic that I can watch anything she is in. The same goes for Freeman. he is just magic on the screen.The two of them gave us a film that was funny from start to finish. From the Mexican supermarket to Lorraine & Bobby to Packy. It was tender, charming and just plain funny.You have to check this out.

Bravo! Morgan Freeman is an actor, who researches a character he is selected to play, before he makes a commitment. Freeman is a 'good fit' for this film (like he was for "Driving Miss Daisy"), and he is not only believable, but he gets a chance to change his image of playing a character with reserved dignity and propriety. Although there are no guarantees in life, for anyone, this gives an actor a great opportunity to play different or unique characters that stand out, in order to avoid getting stereotyping. And it must be said that stereotyping has hampered, or completely ruined, a significant number of acting careers.This is a low-budget film that, amazingly, was made in a time span of only two weeks. It is a film that is well directed and written by Brad Silberling. The location manager chose Carson, CA for the film's setting, and the location helps set the tone and timing for the film. The editing is fair to good, but a little rough.Silberling was the 'subcontractor', in getting Freeman to do this film, while the actor was in-between film projects.There is a good chemistry between Freeman and Paz Vega, a Spanish actress, and this opens an effective dialog between each of the cast members, who are diverse and come from different cultures. The film also encourages an understanding between people, who not only speak two languages (English and Spanish), but come from two different worlds of ethnicity, race, gender, norms, mores, beliefs, folkways, principles, and values. The film strives for some honesty, and arrives at some truth, to maintain the film's integrity.Part of the comedy is that Freeman plays an unemployed actor that has been out of work for four years. In truth, Freeman is so-in-demand as an actor that he is constantly working.The film offers an adventure of bonding, caring, sharing, changing, and exchanging. And, the film's outtakes give the viewer a preview of some of things an actor must go through in preparing for a role.If necessary, tell your boss that you're taking a 'mental health day', and go see this film. If you're able, take your significant other or your family with you. I rank the film a 10 out of 10. It's enjoyable, interesting, informative, poignant, and worthwhile.
