Brad Silberling's relentlessly meta new dramatic comedy 10 Items Or Less casts Morgan Freeman, a star famous for his sonorous voice and movies with Ashley Judd and Clint Eastwood, as a Morgan Freeman-like star famous for his sonorous voice and movies with Ashley Judd and Clint Eastwood. Eager to get back into film after a four-year break, Freeman decides to research a possible role in a low-budget independent movie suspiciously like 10 Items by visiting a downscale inner-city grocery store where he meets and befriends an overachieving clerk played by Spanglish's Paz Vega. An uncharacteristically impish Freeman plays a pampered star so removed from the realities of everyday life that he views a trip to Target with wide-eyed, child-like fascination. In a running gag that gradually slows to a limp, Freeman sees the entire world in acting terms, and he coaches the insecure Vega to embrace her inner leading lady. Over the brisk course of the film, Vega and Freeman dole out major revelations at regular intervals and bond across class and racial lines.
