    A small film that somehow restores your faith in life, in people, in, well, everything

    RELEASED IN 2006 and written & directed by Brad Silberling, 10 Items or Less is a drama about an aged has-been actor (Morgan Freeman) who researches for an indie gig after a four-year dry spell. He meets a spitfire checkout clerk named Scarlet (Paz Vega) at a supermarket in a Latino community of Los Angeles. Impressed by the young woman, he decides to help her while psyching-up for the role.

    The plot is obviously borrowed from 2003s Lost in Translation. To key you off, the girl is named after Scarlett Johansson. But dont let that keep you from seeing this minor gem because the characters are very different, plus other nuances. For instance...
