SnoopyStyle Piper (Elisabeth Harnois) is an art student new to Santa Cruz. She had a baby at 15 and gave her up for adoption. The new mother kept in contact for 2 years but has gone missing for the last 6 years. She believes that she has found her child in 8 year old Julia Miller. She gets a job in a sandwich shop. Trucker is the owner who is secretly in love with Zo who owns the crystal shop. Jen (Clea DuVall) is the computer nerd who has an internet relationship. Tish (Danneel Ackles) loves to manipulate man. Priestly (Jensen Ackles) is the punk cook who is secretly in love with Tish. Piper befriends Julia and her father Noah (Sean Patrick Flanery) but lies to them about her identity.These are very photogenic young actors. The comedy is pretty lame. The two guys in the grocery store are silly without being funny. To be fair, none of these actors have great comedic skills. The other problem is that the sandwich shop seems so fake. They don't have many customers which puts into question why Trucker needs 4 young people working for him. On the plus side, the characters' personal dramas are compelling and I do root for them.

Natalie Melendez 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.

copperncherrio Damn you Supernatural and Dark Angel. You made me love Jensen Ackles, currently playing Dean Winchester on CW's Supernatural. I started to look into what other films you might be in. Just to see your type-casted lovable character.The total misunderstood sweetheart and loyal, bad boy. So you ended up playing the same character in Ten Inch Hero. I was happy even though you had a punk rock out cast look.What I hated was the movie. I wasn't expecting too much but the cast made it semi-promising and enjoyable.I was expecting something along the lines of Sex and Death 101. BUT NO! That could not happen. Even though I like Clea DuVall 's work in HBO's Carnivale, the movie Identity, among many other things…. and the guy from Boondocks Saint is in this film. Sean Patrick Flanery if you wonders what he's been in.. well this is one of them.(*huge side note, I watched Boondock Saints II All Saints Day, and it sucked. William Dafoe was only in one scene and it is an exact replica of the first.. Also Sean Patrick Flanery got all bloaty in the face and he looked like Edward Norton, in my humble opinion. Which isn't too awful of a comment.)Overall this film was trying to bring many stories together, with the common hold of all the people work at a sandwich shop. It had purpose in the beginning, but then it fell apart with it's focus on facts rather than good cinema.I felt no connection with the characters, although I could imagine how someone might feel in their situation, but it was just too hokey dory for my taste. Although it had its moments in a little bit of funny parts, you can just tell how great I feel about a movie when all I comment on are the actors and what distracted me from the screen.I do admit this movie does cater to others.But, at times I felt it was worth watching just to see Jensen Ackles in a Mohawk and in a kilt and buying tampons.

bergenishome 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.
