    An amiable demonstration of how two charismatic actors and a relaxed writer-director (Brad Silberling) can squeeze an enjoyable movie out of practically nothing.

    Interplay between a jaunty Freeman as an unemployed movie star and the magnetic Paz Vega as a no-nonsense grocery store checker gives pic humanity and lift.

    I don't know if it's ickier to assume that writer-director Brad Silberling (Moonlight Mile) thinks the culture-clash jokes he pushes in 10 Items or Less are charming because they're earnest, or because they're tongue-in-cheek. Either way, this sale is void.

    This movie didn't really seem to have much of a point. Morgan Freeman comes off like he's off his medication. I also find it hard to believe Paz Vega has no friends. It comes off as a 90-minute touch-feely slice of life that is supposed to make us feel good, but as a movie it completely lacks. I almost turned it off after about 20 minutes. Even Jonah Hill manages to be unfunny.… Expand

    This is a weirdly uneven story that doesn't know if it's a farce, a comedy, a drams, or witty urban slice of life. I couldn't take it seriously and it is a prime example of a writer who cannot or will not grapple capably with the material. It is therefore a parody of itself and very indulgent. Give it a miss.… Expand
