Ten Inch Hero (2006 or 2007 R)

   The movie stars Elisabeth Harnois (Keith, Chaos Theory), Clea DuVall (Joan of Aracadia tv I think, 21Grams), Sean Patrick Flanery (The Dead Zone tv, Lone Hero), Jensen Ackles (Devour, My Bloody Valentine), Alice Kreig (Chariots of Fire, The Sorcerer's Apprentice), Danneel Harris, John Doe (Breakdown Palage, Without you Im Nothing) and Sean Wing.
   The plot ofthe movie is basicly take Mystic Pizza make it a sub shop and move it to Santa Cruz.  It tracks the lives of three waitresses, a short order cook, and a sub shop owner in Santa Cruz.  One thinks she found her daughter she was forced to give up for adaption, another is dating a person she meets on line then in real life,  one is the loose girl, the owner also has an active social life.  Its about them finding the person that is right for them. 
   They are all misfits of one kind or another.  This is like a version of Mystic Pizza.  Babysitter dates the father, the wife is out ofthe picture, a sandwitch shop instead of Pizza, there is a slut a brain waitress with a parental influence who ownes the business.
   There are a few problems with the movie.  One nobody waits for change in this movie very weird.  The wife of Flanery in the movie could of been reveled a little better but thats just me. I thought it weird that there was a Danneel listed as the muse under the music part of the credits.  I would love to hear the backstory about that.
   Im rating this movie as a C+ or B-.  If you liked Mystic Pizza stream this movie.  Even though there are alot of simularities it is good enough to stand on its own.  I think it is a Chick Flick, but when a movie is good labels dont matter that much. 
   So if you want to do something fun stream MysticPizza and this one and see how simular they are.  Or at least I think they are very simular.
