I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I really wanted to like this film as a blind rental, but it fails at almost every turn to be the type of film it aspires to be.10-IH is obviously one of those small-scale genre films that indie startup companies use as their flagship productions that attract well-meaning B-list veterans who enjoy helping up-and-comers out and it shows. The characters are barely defined, hardly eccentric (one gag in the film is that "normal people need not apply" but none of the characters besides the punk griller are weird in any way), and the script traipses through the A, B, C, and D plots with an almost casual disregard for gravitas. Each character has a single (hardly crippling) problem to overcome and one sequence involves 3 of them going on a road trip despite the fact that they all seem to work every single day with no replacements.It reminds me in many ways of EMPIRE RECORDS: a formulaic retread of character-driven workplace comedies like CLERKS and WAITING... but with prepackaged stock characters, signature visual gags, and expository dialogue to serve as dramatic reveal; it wants to be poignant and make a statement, but with all the sophistication of a 6th-grader. The camera work is functional,the production design non-existent, and the plot devices textbook: you can practically see the numbers under the paint. Added to which, the soundtrack repeats the same 2 songs that were originally produced for the film because they had no budget for pre-existing music, and that grates. And the original score plays home the emotional beats sincerely to the point of sentimentality.10-INCH HERO is almost a parody of the kind of film it wants to be, and despite some nudity and profanity, is virtually PG in its tone. Take the nudity and language out and it would be the kind of film that Family Values production companies make when they try to ape mainstream movies.

I caught this on cable a few nights ago and, based on the synopsis ("Four friends search for love and happiness while working at a California sandwich shop"), I figured it would fall into the "so bad, it's good" category. Well, it's pretty straightforward bad. Don't get me wrong, there are many an unintentionally hilarious moment. Actually, it's chock-full of unintentionally hilarious moments (i.e. the back-alley beat-down and the cheesy paint-by- numbers mural at the end) which is why the 10 star reviews on here are highly questionable. Charming? Incredible? A tasty treat? Betsy Morris, is that you? The plot centers around three young women who sort out their love lives and personal issues while working a minimum wage job in food service. Does that sound vaguely familiar? Yeah, "Ten Inch Hero" is basically the the less attractive little sister to "Mystic Pizza." In place of Mystic Pizza's endearing characters, we have a group of one-dimensional, stereotyped duds whose personal woes aren't all that interesting when you get right down to it. In fact, I can't even remember any of the character's motives. Was there a plot?I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you've had a rough day and, rather than taking out your frustrations on those closest to you, you need a trite, direct-to-video movie as your sh**-talking outlet. If you're looking for the charming, incredible, feel good rom com some of the "reviewers" on here have mentioned, keep looking.

This is going to be a warning. Do NOT count on the rating and the reviews of this movie on IMDb. They are fake. If you want to see it yourself, then just check the first few pages of the comment history in chronological order. Except a few honest comments, more than the first 30 comments in a row have "10 star" reviews over-enthusiastically praising this movie. This obviously arose through a deceptive campaign by the associates of this movie. If you need further proof to see that this movie is purposefully over-rated, then you may want to check the message boards as well; you will see many post regarding how people are desperately looking to buy the DVD if only it were available nearby, or how you can buy it.

Being a fan of Jensen Ackles, I was willing to make a lot of concessions for this movie. I thought that with a decent script, acting and some good moments I would be more than happy. I'm used to see comedy and romantic movies and if they are not that stupid I actually will love them, but this one was a complete disappointment. The script was completely predictable and full of holes. At some points I was wishing for the damn thing to be over so I could go and watch something actually interesting.Though the acting was very decent, the script didn't work on favor of any of the actors, especially on the completely unnecessary nudity scenes of Danneel Harris. I think a good sex scene or nudity scene can be used for the benefit of the film but in this case you can note the intention of the director, writer and producers to add something to sell the film, at the inability of the script to do it by itself.I think the whole idea of the movie was good, and Jensen Ackles' role has some good moments and all the actors seem committed to achieve a good result but the script and the filming weren't up to the level, with errors like the apparition of microphones on the scenes, making it seem like this movie was filmed by amateurs. I'm not trying to be hard here, I'm just being honest. The movie has it's moments but all and all, after I watched it I could understand why it was only released in DVD. To watch under your own risk.
