Un célebre actor (Morgan Freeman) cuyo nombre jamás se pronuncia, es prioritariamente conocido por la voz retumbante e inclinación a protagonizar thrillers de suspense que se convierten blockbusters. Sin embargo, el éxito tiene un precio. El proceso de firmar el contrato para una película se ha convertido en algo tan complicado, con todos esos agentes, representantes, y abogados a rastras, que no ha intervenido en un film en cuatro años. Anhelando volver al ruedo, se ha mostrado interesado en participar en un film independiente acerca de un gerente nocturno encargado de un supermercado de segunda. El actor se aventura hacia un supermercado de Carson, un barrio obrero de Los Ángeles, para poder investigar sobre su personaje. Su objetivo fracasa cuando se da cuenta de que no el jefe de almacén no está y de que nadie habla inglés con la excepción de Scarlet (Paz Vega), la cajera a cargo de la caja de los "10 artículos o menos".

Estoy bastante decepcionado. Esperaba algo grande de la atractiva combinación de Freeman/Vega y el resultado es una película aburrida para mí, sin jugo y con momentos de optimismo, buen humor o chiste. La frase sobre el Dalái Lama y la carne de cerdo me hizo reír, debo admitirlo. Paz Vega sigue siendo insuperable para mí en Sex and Lucía.

This film was just your typical, everyday story about two people meeting, not pretending to be something grander than a simple conversation. The creators let it unfold without diving into any romantic clichés or melodrama that's almost as essential in American movies as ketchup is for fries. So, I settled in and let the dialogue flow, appreciating that I didn't need a deep knowledge of philosophy to enjoy it. I liked the unpretentious tale of two vastly different people. Surprisingly, it worked for me because of its relaxed and human touch. You can also view this movie as a clash between real life and Morgan Freeman, with the latter easily winning on points, if not by knockout. / Lesson learned: Careful! Washing some vehicles might lead to a loss of their structural integrity.

I approached the 10 Items or Less with caution, as A Series of Unfortunate Events from the same director didn't work for me. However, I was pleasantly surprised, as it is a likable indie film or at least an independent-looking film. It is a movie about a rather ordinary supermarket somewhere in the suburbs and a tired cashier who, by a twist of fate, meets a retiring actor who used to be a sought-after star in his field. This chance encounter turns into a day-long trip filled with conversations about life dreams, goals, and values. Both of them part ways enriched by a positive experience. In its minimalism, it is inventive and tasteful. Overall impression: 80%.

A more intimate and independent version of Lost in Translation. But no worse. Morgan Freeman clearly enjoys his role immensely, Paz Vega is as talented as she is beautiful, and the short running time makes the whole thing move along nicely. For some, however, the upbeat mood may be too much.
