Amazon.com:
A slight but likable British comedy-fantasy with a touch of naughtiness, Cashback is an expanded version of director Sean Ellis' Oscar-nominated short film of the same name about a bored supermarket clerk who discovers that he has the ability to stop time. Sean Biggerstaff (from the Harry Potter franchise) is Ben, a lovelorn young man whose chronic insomnia (due to a bad breakup) forces him to bury himself in pointless and repetitive work at a local grocery store. Once there, boredom causes him to believe that he can stop time, and he enjoys long and languid fantasies about undressing and sketching the female shoppers. But reality intrudes in the form of recollections of his troubled past, as well as the lovely presence of fellow clerk Sharon (Emilia Fox), who offers the promise of love in the real world. A gentle and artfully directed independent film, Cashback doesn't run very deep in terms of emotion, but the special effects are clever, the cast quirky and amusing, and its premise is an appealing mix of softcore reverie and boyish longing. - Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Worth every penny
Very good movie, very surreal. It is different kind of movie which is why I loved it. This is a movie you curl up with your partner and watch late at night, not a family movie.
Rating:  - Wonderful, Original....Moments of Pure Genius !!
I selected this movie for the photo on the DVD cover, having no great expectations, but after watching it and the short film from which it was derived, I am in complete awe of the originality, creativity, and cinematic genius of it creator, Shaun Ellis. It succeeds on all levels: masterful camera work, perfect casting, splendid dialog, characters with whom you can really connect, and a clever, original plot.
Most of us can personally relate to virtually every situation, emotion, and ... Read More
Rating: - Not for everyone... But I loved it
Personally, I loved this movie. I thought it was thoughtful and tastefully done. Yes there is nudity, but with a purpose. I read another review that said some people will love it while others will walk away wondering what it was all about. I loved it.
Rating: - Cash Back was one helleva great movie!
Cash Back, blown away by this wonderful DVD Movie
I think this movie, Cashback, may have come out back in 2006. Seemingly it had a very late release here in the states. I was truly blown away by this mesmerizingly wonderful movie. It had a great soundtrack, wonderful acting, stunningly beautiful female models (who appeared naked throughout the movie), and a great storyline and plot. A bit of a twist of "the office," meets Indie Films. I loved it!

Rating: - A delightful small film
Cashback
A delightful combination of a work-place hijinx and a love story, this movie uses the metaphor of stopping time for the artwork of the principal character. Well-acted and brilliantly cast, ignore the sensational cover and get into this story. Yes, there is nudity, but, for once, it actually has to do with the movie and it's plot. Not very much related to the Oscar winning short of a few years ago, this is nevertheless a well-made, fun to watch and delightful movie.
