10 Items or Less really sucked a big wiener!!
This movie is so low budget and bad, nobody on the set knew what the other was doing or going to say. Ridiculous!
shareWere you on the set?

Did you even watch the movie to have an opinion.

Gayrzeee you seem to know all about scale and favors and so much of the biz and yet you missed the point on the actual plot.
The kid didn't come and pick him up because he couldn't find the place. If you watched the movie the kid had a hard time getting there in the first place. Also "HIM" is actually really funny. Because whenever an average person sees a celebrity the first question is usually "That's HIM, that's ..."
He's a famous actor who's doing research on being a grocery store manager. That's actors for you.
This movie isn't for everyone. It contained subtle humor that was extremely funny if you understood it.

To be honest i dont beleive that a movie has to have a huge budget to be good - a movie can be really good with a little creativity and imagination - money does not always make the movie better but i have to agree that this film really did suck so bad lol
i'm all for finding the profound meaning behind a storyline but OMG come on !
1- the story was way to far fetched - why would anyone believe that a movie star who had been in a major movie only 4 years previously would be allowed by his agent etc to be transported by some strange guy in a clapped out van to a remote grocery store and left there with no phone etc - we all know that would never happen
2- it was mind numbingly boring - i mean how long did that girl take to get changed in the bathroom at the petrol station? - after her shirt got torn they figured that they had an hour before her interview and omg that was the longest hour ever known to man !
i actually liked the style of the film - the way it was filmed was not bad but i have to say it was the ONLY thing that interested me :(
does it really matter if the movie was crazy or intense or dramatic or hilarious or action-packed or even realistic?
it was probably meant more as a comment about society... the message having something to do with people connecting and enjoying each other or just enjoying the little things in life.
try not to be so critical.. i understand the movie isn't for everyone, and i get that while it's classified as a "comedy", its lack of outright hilarity may have disappointed some.
take it for what it is. there was subtle humour and the overall story was quite nice.
so what if it may not ever "actually" happen? maybe it should.
You know, I was just about to write that same-ish message britt.
With this sort of movie you either get it or you don't. And tbh, if you don't get it just give it a low rating and move on.
Gay, Gay, Gay...
"No, David, when sighting a celebrity, the average person has a stronger chance at going up to them and asking, "Hey aren't you that actor. . ." Your guess assumes that the average person is with someone to utter the words "That's HIM, that's ..." "
Just stating the above shows YOU DIDN'T GET IT. You didn't get the subtle humor that's needed to understand this movie. Of course it's your opinion that his name is HIM for a reason other than how I explained it, and that's fine, you can be wrong. You can say Lassie is a cat, but that would be wrong also. Of course coming from someone who's seen every Adam Sandler movie that's completely understandable.
You've seen every Adam Sandler movie? And you're admiting to it? Wow, that's really something...

"Yeah, Dave, you're the subtle movie humor expert.
You know that Lassie's not a cat? Wow that's incredible.
Say hi to your inbred-Jed pals in East Upper buttcrack, US"
At least I got this movie, which is more than I can say for you.
I'd say "Say hi to your friends" but judging from the way you post at imdb, you don't have any.

Many people got this movie not just me. You obviously didn't get this movie, but you are an Adam Sandler fan so I'm not surprised.
From all the Kate Winslet fans in the world we can only say WHEW the gay guy doesn't like her.
Good Behavior...

You didn't even get the simplest joke as to why he was called HIM, yet I'm too believe you got everything else? Yeah, right.
I may be a burnt out Ramones fan, but at least I'm not a pseudo intellectual Adam Sandler fan. You must love Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Dam, since box office is what you base talent on.
I saw how Sandler massacred Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, and he was the only non-actor in Spanglish. Like low-brow Sandler, Britney Spears sells millions of albums. Doesn't make her a musician and doesn't make him an actor. Crap is constantly sold to the masses, which you so whole-heartedly want to be part of. Unfortunately NO ONE will be your friend.
Yep, I'd love to have sex with Kate Winslet, but she'd run if she saw my fat ass.
No I don't think many people got "10 items" or understood it. Some did and didn't like it, that's their taste. YOU DIDN'T GET IT, but you don't really get anything.
Here's a list of some of my other "imaginary life stories".
My first concert was Led Zeppelin in 1977 at MSG. I've been to over a thousand since. I've seen Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Aerosmith, The Who, Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders, Lene Lovich, The Stranglers, Squeeze, Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, Hank Williams III, Dixie Chicks, Toby Keith, The Elected, Jenny Lewis, Rilo Kiley, Sinead O'Connor, Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams, Paul Westerberg, to name just a few.
I went to Germany to see Nina Hagen's benefit at the Tempodrome for Afghani women. I sat in the second row. At her charity auction I bought her flouresant stage outfit covered with stars and planets. She brought me on stage at the end of the show because I had travelled from NY to be there. I went back a few months later to see Jasmin Tabatabai in Frankfurt and Berlin. She's a very sweet person. If you've never seen Bandits I recommend it. Of course you'd hate it, so by all means waste your money.
Went to England to see Suzi Quatro and Slade II in Brighton Park. 15000 drunk brits, a good time was had by all. I picked up a couple hitching after the show and they had me pick up all their friends. They were very grateful and gave me money toward gas, which really helped because it was almost a buck a liter. Went back last year to see Carbon/Silicon (who?) in Manchester and Stoke on Trent. It was funny because after the second show the very nice Japanese girl I met the night before brought me back stage. At one point the band members were laughing about a joke e-mail they'd received from a guy in NY that wanted free tickets they were giving away for their London show a few months later. I was that guy. Though I didn't get to go back, I sent the tickets to my imaginary friend from my first imaginary trip to London.
So, what have you done with your life? Oh, I know NOTHING. Because you are nothing, which is plain to see from your posts.

If psycho wards didn't have Internet access you wouldn't be able to post. Then you'd be left begging to blow all the other psychos.
How is it, you're locked up and still no one wants to be near you?

You gayrzeee as I wrote before are NOTHING. A NIL, A ZERO, a worthless piece of garbage. But, don't take my word for it, ask your mother. I'm sure she's told you a thousand times over what an ass you are. But, you are slightly amusing in a pathetic kind of way.

Yep, that's gay being doubly gay.
shareey
How about:
e.- too obvious Freeman was making up excuses to be close to Scarlet in order to study the character?
(even Scarlet says so at one point: "You are acting all the time")
This is not your typical Hollywood film.
This is an independent film that is sincere about topics like friendship, positivism,confidence and hope in life.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but just by reading the previews of this movie I would really wonder why someone who uses the expression "sucked a big wiener" would even bother going to see it in the first place.

Your Post Really Sucked a Big Wiener !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about ridiculous, I'm glad I didn't read the rest.
Henry W Stanley Jr
Congratulations on missing the entire point of the piece. Good job. And 'wiener?' Seriously?
(PS: gayerzee - YES! I may not agree with you on much but I too have always thought Jonah Hill looks eerily like Chris Penn!! Let's hope he doesn't team with Jackie Chan anytime soon..)
to Davie and Gay
You're both friggin idiots. You just argued in public over a movie on a message board to the point where your arguments became personal insults that had absolutely no substance.
And it was a good movie. Part of enjoying films is to suspend disbelief. Yes, Jonah Hill was supposed to forget Freeman at the market so all the events from then on could take place. So *beep* what? It set up the story.
And you're questioning Freeman's intelligence. Why question intelligence when instead you should question the Character of HIM. Throughout the whole movie, Freeman talks about Paz Vega's "character" ad how she fits certain roles etc. Freeman has the "the world is a stage" mentality meaning that everyone is a character. It's part of HIM's character to be a self-involved famous actor, but also be a kind, friendly, understanding, and giving person. It's an excellent character - one of which i've never seen before. Seeing Freeman do it is a plus because a lesser actor might not have hit the nail on the head so accurately as him.
It's a feel good, bittersweet film. A Character piece. My advice to the both of you would be, when you're watching a movie that begs you not to think so hard.... don't think so hard.
Yeah, but gay started it.
The gene pool could use a little chlorine......
This thread may be the most entertaining one I've read on IMDB since the "10 things I learned from watching Roadhouse" thread.
Gay and David are clearly in love with each other and too afraid to admit it. I can't wait to read their scathing point/counterpoint on "Land of the Lost"
MorgHim is such a dumbazz that he doesn't have the brains to carry money or a cell phone.
This was Freeman's Shopgirl/Whatever Works. Also lame movies.
