Movie Reviews of Shopgirl
Movie Review: this is awful.............
Summary: 1 Stars
i totally love Claire Danes so i got this .....Unfortunately, this turned out to be a poor choice....there was hardly any chemistry between Jermey and Mirabelle....which makes it all the weirder when she eventually ended up with him.....
Summary of Shopgirl
Based on steve martins bestselling novella this follows the life & relationships of mirabelle an aspiring artist who makes ends meet selling gloves in a beverly hills saks fifth avenue. Two men enter mirabelles life simultaneously - wealthy older ray & young fumbling jeremy. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 01/11/2008 Starring: Claire Danes Jason Schwartzman Run time: 106 minutes Rating: RAny fan of Steve Martin's 2000 novella will enjoy this pitch-perfect adaptation, which glowingly captures the bittersweet tones of a May-December romance. Martin wrote the screenplay and stars as Ray Porter, a button-down 50-something executive who reaches out to a much younger woman as a Los Angeles playmate. The book and movie, though, are both primarily about Mirabelle (Claire Danes), a 20-something with a pile of promises, debt, and depression, as she fades away into a slow corner of Saks selling unneeded formal gloves. She's a wisp of a person, with a cat who doesn't love her, and when she finds a suitor, it's Jeremy (Jason Schwartzman), a scruffy artist who babbles on about speakers. When the gentlemanly Porter calls, his appearance in her life begins to make her whole. It also immediately sets her up for sadness--Ray thinks of Mirabella as a precious outlet for sex, while Mirabelle, very mistakenly, sees Ray as a potential lifelong mate. Martin deftly turns the novella's prose into dialogue, allowing the movie to feel full-bodied, and the film also works as a comedy, as we witness Jeremy's growth on the road with a rock band. Schwartzman would walk away with film if not for the perfectly cast leads: Martin does another smart turn away from his wild-and-crazy moniker, Danes has never been better in an Oscar-worthy performance, and Bridgette Wilson-Sampras aces her role as a hot-to-trot co-worker of Mirabelle's. Whoever's decision to have Martin be the omnipresent narrator, though, should be penalized, as it's confusing to have him in two roles, and the information is pretty useless, even robbing the film of a final grace note. --Doug Thomas
