Overview
An actor who is considering the role of a supermarket manager arrives at a grocery store on the outskirts of Los Angeles to do some field research. He subsequently becomes stranded, without a car or cell phone, and accepts a ride home with Scarlet, a cashier who is about to interview for a new job. The actor rediscovers the essence of his craft while helping Scarlet gain the confidence she needs to change her life.
This movie is a good example of not needing a complicated script to make a decent movie. There is a ton of heart in this movie and fantastic chemistry between the two leads. That said, I don’t know if you could get away with this movie without Morgan Freeman essentially playing himself. The premise was a little sketchy but if you put that aside the resolution is pretty good.
