10 Items or Less (2006)
Representing a bold departure for both Academy Award-winner Morgan Freeman and director Brad Silberling, "10 Items or Less" is an intimately-scaled, two-character comedy in which Freeman plays a major movie star whose pickiness with his projects accounts for a lengthy absence from the screen. While considering a role as a supermarket manager, he decides to do some field research at a small ethnic market on the very outskirts of Los Angeles. Finding himself stranded with no cell phone or transportation, he meets Paz Vega, the feisty cashier who mans the store's express register. When she offers to drive him back to "civilization," this initially mismatched pair discovers common ground, with the star realizing that his love for people is what drew him to acting in the first place, and the cashier gaining the confidence to interview - or as he terms it, to "audition" - for a job that could change her life.

Morgan Freeman and Paz Vega (best known for her role in Spanglish) star in this Comedy/Drama about a normal store cashier and a Hollywood actor meeting and sharing a day together as strangers.
I was disappointed in this film. It has a really cool concept if you think about it....If you were working in a store and in...

Contains a few spoilers.
Ten Items Or Less is a finely tuned character study of two people so vastly different, yet emotionally connected like Siamese Twins.
Morgan Freeman plays a superstar so famous and pampered he doesn't carry a wallet or even a name. He's simply recognized as HIM. Whereas Paz Vega's SCARLET is...
