    Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

    what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

    It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

    10 items or less may not seem like much at first, but it quickly sprawls into a hilarious comedy fun for the whole family. The plot is that the main character returns to his fathers store in ohio after he passes to continue running it. From there on you just see crazy antics of his staff and their weird lives. Shot in similar ways comparable to "Parks and Recreation" and "The Office", 10 items or less uses improv and setting to its full advantage. The only disadvantage is the small amount of episodes, with only 3 seasons and limited episodes per season, the show only lasts 21 episodes. However, it is certainly a wonderful show.

    Rather than waste your time and mine pointing out which similarities this show has with everything else that came before it, I'm going to tell you to watch it.I'm also gonna say, if you like The Office (british or American), you may or may not like this show. To draw your opinions from whether or not a show is similar to another, and to formulate your entire critique based on that rationale, is lazy and paltry.Yes, the main character has likenesses to the boss Steve Carell plays on The Office, being that they're both trying to be funny, likable bosses and they're both men. Yes, there are other characters on the show too, just like in The Office. On both shows, it's a mix of men and women... a few different races, as well. Rest assured, this show is exactly like The Office because they both take place in a grocery store. Wait, no they don't.Okay, if you're gonna split hairs every time you sit down to watch TV, you might as well hide the remote for good. This show is nothing like the Office, other than they both have silly bosses who are trying to be liked by their employees.Something everyone can relate to... so i'm sure we can deal with more than one show depicting someone in that role.This show is something you need to Tivo to watch multiple times, as there are things that get funnier the second time around. The characters blend well together and the central driving story of 'screw-up son inherits dead father's grocery store and is being outdone by huge conglomerate' often leads to riotous outcomes.I'm sure if this show were on one of the more major networks, it'd be taken more seriously.God forbid we like something on TBS, right?

    Let's say you're going to work one morning and, from space, a meteor hits you in the mouth and breaks your jaw. After you recover and return to work, you might tell this story to your co-workers and, given the sheer inanity of the situation, you might relate the story in a humorous fashion. Despite not having any experience as a comedian, you would still be infinitesimally more humorous than "10 Items or Less", TBS's new attempt at killing laughter throughout the known world. This is the type of show you can watch all the way through without laughing, smiling or possibly ever feeling happiness again.The premise is woefully unoriginal in so many ways- A group of ineffective people working at a supermarket. Let's take a look at that sentence… You can replace the word "supermarket" with any other place of business and you will still have the exact same show. In this case, you could even replace the word "people" with "hulking piles of scrap iron" and it would have no effect on the shows quality.The show is supposedly a loosely scripted, predominantly improvisational work. However, none of the cast proves quick-thinking enough to deliver jokes, but rather try to pass off odd and quirky behavior as humorous, and for the most part they fail at that, too. The cast isn't simply bad at being supermarket employees, they're actually bad at playing human beings- In several scenes it's is actually possible to see an actor's soul leave their body to make their performance more awkward and less human.One can't help but wonder how it is that TBS, who has proved to be pretty smart about which shows to run in syndication, can keep giving the green light to bad shows like this. There have been Challenger space shuttle disasters funnier than this show, which I might add, wasn't as fanatically over-advertised as "10 Items of Less" was. I suspect that this show is just one unfunny step of many in TBS's plan to make their network so unwatchable that they can use their airtime to transmit messages to the New World Order out in the open… And sadly, for fear of accidentally seeing more awful programming like this, no one will be the wiser.

    Oh look, another comedy that throws together bits and pieces of other TV comedy sucesses, only to end up with soulless crap. The talentless John Lehr tries far too hard and seems entirely unaware of himself. In fact, The supporting cast pull their characters off better than he does. It's physically painful watching Lehr butcher what is already a weak script. Not only is it a struggle to find what could even be considered laugh lines, but Lehr ensures there's nothing funny about his basic character (unlike a show like The Office, for example, where Steve Carrel could stand motionless and still be hilarious). Ignore the first couple comments which are brutally obvious plants. Don't waste your time with this show, it won't be around much longer anyway.
