Ten Items or Less

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Morgan Freeman stars as an unnamed actor returning to work after several years away from the job. His newest role is the part of someone who works in a grocery store. To prepare for the role, he spends some time in a grocery store, where he meets Scarlet, played by Paz Vega (of Sex and Lucia and Spanglish fame). A friendship forms between Scarlet and Freemman's character and the rest of the movie is about getting Scarlet to try to better herself by applying for a job in another field.

Not to be confused with the similarly-named TV show.

Tropes used in Ten Items or Less include:
  • Ambition Is Evil - Subverted. Freeman's character is respected for his accomplishments, and ambition is presented as a positive thing for Scarlet.
  • No Name Given - No one ever refers to Morgan Freeman's character's name. Freeman is credited as Him.
