10 Items or Less

Watched this filum after the match and what a charming movie.  With Morgan Freeman and Paz Vega in the leading roles, this gentle look at life from the perspective of two different people will bring a smile to your face.

A well-known actor (Freeman), who hasn't accepted a role in four years, is considering a "project".

The cousin of the director drives him to Archie's Ranch Market, in Carson, and drops him off to do a little research for his intended role, playing a supermarket manager.  He walks around, sees how the place is being mismanaged and then becomess fascinated by one of the check-out girls.

Scarlet (Vega) is a young woman from Spain who hates her job being stuck at the "10 items or less" lane, particularly as her co-worker does nowt all day long except sleep with the boss.  Her ex-husband.

The actor chats her up, and when her shift ends, he asks for a lift, where during the course of the afternoon, he helps her prepare for a job interview she has lined up.  She needs a confidence boost, he needs to commit and thus we see two strangers interact and help one another.
