this be film make at it simple and it best . i have my doubt and because even though freeman be great actor and sometimes he get involve in bad project while this be not one of those time . it a small story that run just over an hour and fifteen and in a time when we be get use to have movie become longer and longer and and not necessarily well and the director use the short time to his advantage and because the character be so well define from the start ( great portrayal by freeman and vega by the way ) and that the little bit of background info on them seem real and morgan be himself even though his name be not mention and he have be out of movie for a couple of year now because he be saturate by the business and and develop a fear to commit to a script and and be do research for a character in a indie movie where he play a store or supermarket manager . the story begin by him be drop of in a supermarket in a rough neighborhood and where he meet the cashier of the 10 item or less ( vega ) and have to take a ride with her cause the production forget to pick him up . in many way it a road movie and morgan provide the laugh and and quirk with his unbeatable smile and positive perspective on everything and show off an accomplished actor who have train his mind to be able to define everyone he see into a character he could play and and paz ( by the way and what an extraordinary beautiful woman and even more gorgeous than penelope cruz ) bring the vulnerability of a 25 year old separate woman who work hard than everyone else without get any credit in a dead end job at a crappy supermarket . it a talkie and there be a lot of dialog and but the balance between light and fun and serious and sad be well sustain and the character become so lovable right away that you spend the last 20 minute beg for more screen time of this odd couple and but the shortness be in the nature of the story and so it be a good call from the director not to give in .
