10 Items Or Less is the story of two peo­ple who meet by chance and spend a day together, shar­ing each other’s world. The two peo­ple in this story are Mor­gan Free­man, who pretty much plays him­self and Paz Vega who plays the part of a gro­cery clerk who works the 10 items or less counter. Mor­gan Freeman’s char­ac­ter is there to do research for a movie role. He is funny, friendly, and engag­ing. Paz Vega’s char­ac­ter is young, lov­able, and in a place in her life she doesn’t want to be anymore.

This movie is kind of out there. You don’t know where it’s going until it’s over then your remem­ber you had a pretty good time get­ting there. Here, it’s clearly more about the jour­ney than the des­ti­na­tion. If I had to describe it bet­ter I say that it was about two peo­ple being gen­uine and con­nect­ing. What comes of it? Well, you’ll just have to check out the movie to see for your­self. There’s no big action and no sex, just two peo­ple hang­ing out really. At first I won­dered where this all was going but once I let that notion go I enjoyed this film. I give it a 4 out of 5 marks. It’s worth a rental.
