This is a sharp little slice of whimsy with Freeman giving a funny, very laid-back and sometimes touching performance.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
[Morgan] Freeman is clearly enjoying himself, but his charisma and heavyweight presence can't quite redeem this featherweight concoction.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club

Freeman and Paz winningly play off each other.

The bare-boned simplicity of 10 Items or Less is more a strength than a liability.
