not really spoiler in my opinion and but i want to cover myself and nevertheless . a the executive producer and morgan freeman want the audience to ignore the numerous absurdity of his character in 10 item or less and a movie with an intentional indie feel and and just be absorb in the mentor or be all that you can be theme . he play a alternate universe and semi wash up version of the real morgan freeman and who be chauffeur in an old econovan by a kid all the way into carson and ca from brentwood to research his next movie role . why carson and be a mystery to so . cal resident . he could have save the trip and go anywhere in the san fernando valley and find the same element . paz vega be pretty to watch and a cross between salma hayek and penelope cruz and play a disgruntled grocery checker at a large but slow local market that apparently be the ultimate source for moragn freeman research . his character be only know a him to allude to how actor be regard when encounter in real life by average people psst and that him and etc . unfortunately and i be too distract that him have all kind of worldly wisdom and advice but have no reliable return back to his home in brentwood and carry no cash or debit card and or have the wisdom to keep a cell phone with him . if one have such a high opinion of their self that they believe they possess an answer to everything like him do and then i get ta see cash and a blackberry which display intelligence and good survival instinct to preserve that big ego which him definitely have . nothing really happen in this movie . i do not believe that either of the main character be substantially change by their encounter with each other . it flirt with the idea of adultery and but then that think fizzle . this to me be similar to steve martin shopgirl and without the sexual affair . it be self indulgent for freeman and unconvincing to the audience .
