Product Description
Product Description
Based on Steve Martin's best-selling novella, and starring Golden Globe(R) winner Claire Danes (Best Actress In A TV Series, MY SO-CALLED LIFE, 1994), Golden Globe(R) nominee Steve Martin (Best Actor In A Motion Picture -- Comedy/Musical, FATHER OF THE BRIDE PART II, 1995), and Jason Schwartzman (BEWITCHED), SHOPGIRL is a disarmingly funny love story. Mirabelle, brilliantly played by Danes, is an aspiring artist working behind the glove counter at a Beverly Hills department store when she meets two very different men -- Jeremy (Schwartzman), a socially inept guy who doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and Ray (Martin) a wealthy entrepreneur who has the world at his feet. Filled with the mixed signals and missteps of a modern romance, SHOPGIRL is a fresh and witty, warm, and funny romantic comedy you can't help but fall in love with.

Any 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 doesnt 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 its confusing to have him in two roles, and the information is pretty useless, even robbing the film of a final grace note. --Doug Thomas

I just realized that as I was writing this that both male characters were not people that you would (at least me) root for to be with Annabelle (Clare's character) - at first I was thinking that Roy (Steve's Character) was meeting with his doctor and he was given an implied prognosis that he was on borrowed time and that he wanted to keep Annabelle from being hurt too much. With her line in the trailer "So I can hurt now or later"" led me to think that and it would have actually been a better premise than Roy simply being a shallow person who finally realizes when it's too late that he did indeed love Annabelle.
It would have been much more interesting if Jason's character Jeremy went on his discovery to be a new and better version of himself and when he just happened to bump into Annabelle we got to see more of his transformation instead of a mistaken identity where Annabelle's co-worker Lisa Cramer (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras) beds Jeremy thinking that she is stealing Roy from Annabelle, which turns out not to be the case - is entertaining but does not make sense based upon how her character was established and seems to come from out of the blue.
Challenge is with "Artistic" Writers in Hollywood (sorry Steve) - they make films that they think people would find interesting and perhaps enjoy but when they make them too much like real life and just as seemingly dry - we leave the movie with mixed feelings and no clear resolution as to whether or not we sat for nearly two hours eagerly watching and anticipating a somewhat larger than humdrum life unfolding - even if it is understated - we want to root for the Guy to get the girl and for the Girl to pick the obviously right guy.
Instead it seems that Annabelle has made the right choice (but settles) for she allows herself to love someone that loves her as much as he knows how, they both have things in common in the art world - but that is where it leaves off - then we have Roy's character which is equally dissatisfying because he has little redeeming qualities - they are indeed there - but like the film - are understated, nuanced and leaves us lacking what we want from any story that we spend our time watching - Passion, Pain - resolution of the pain and a Happier Ending - Not the Hollywood Big Fantasy ending - but the ending that at least leaves us with a smile of appreciation instead of us questioning why we are not thrilled with the movie - yet like it but only to a degree. Hence my 4 stars are really 3 1/2 but I do not know how to give a half star, lol.
You WILL enjoy this movie because of Clare Danes - but may be scratching your head about her reunion with her Mom and Dad
Mirabelle spends her days at the upscale Saks Fifth Ave., working at the glove counter - her nights alone - after shopping for groceries at the local market. Then one day, Ray Porter, (Steve Martin) stops at the counter to buy a pair of gloves and Mirabelle's life is suddenly changed. They date, and a relationship begins for both. Mirabelle is ushered into a world of wealth and privilege and - love. Ray, at the age of 50, is charmed and intrigued but, as Mirabelle later discovers, interested in a sexual relationship only.
Claire Danes brings a wonderful sweetness and vulnerability to her role. Martin, a benign selfishness. While he showers her with gifts and trips to exotic places, he misleads her and brings her to tears in the end.
Jeremy, meanwhile, is making his own way in the world with luck and determination, as well as humor. He is disarming and funny and in love with Mirabelle.
A wistful, meandering trip down lover's lane!

I've seen the movie for the first time on Film 4. Well, it was very weird to see Steve Martin in a serious, lover role and after I saw the movie, I find it even a little repulsive but then, this year, I wanted to see the movie again so I got the movie. This time I like it. It’s a very nice, warm movie. I thought about Steve Martin being an actor so he has to adapt and try different roles as well, not just the funny ones.
A reviewer said: “No way would a good looking girl like that fall for either of these men. Also they ruined it by making her character rather loose and needy.” The movie has nothing to do with the way the men are looking, it is just a movie that could also easily be real life. Anyway, Claire Danes is lovely as always and at the end, the actor’s combination in this movie is not too bad.
I will give it 5 stars because it’s a light, slow, romantic movie to watch when you are in a romantic mood.
Gewöhnungsbedürftig war die Story. Aschenputtel hinter dem wenig besuchten Verkaufsstand trifft zuerst den heruntergekommenen Versager Jeremy, der total abgedriftet ist, sich von ihr aushalten lässt und seltsame Vorstellungen von einem Date hat. Nach einem unglücklichen ersten Date zieht er als Roadie in die große weite Welt, meldet sich ein paar Mal telefonisch bei Mirabelle und kommt am Ende im weißen Anzug als strahlender Ritter auf dem weißen Pferd wieder (okay, das Pferd hat sich der Regisseur gespart).
Währenddessen wird Aschenputtel Mirabelle von einem reichen Gönner entdeckt, der ihr den Hof macht und eine Art Beziehung mit ihr beginnt. Sie verlieben sich ineinander, seine Beziehungsangst steht aber zwischen ihnen.
Am Ende klappts nicht, sie wendet sich Neu-Strahlemann Jeremy zu, der plötzlich seine Rechnungen selbst bezahlen kann. Und sie macht Karriere als Künstlerin. Bißchen unglaubwürdig, nicht weltbewegend aufregend, zu wenig Herz-Schmerz. Keine Glanzleistung.
Wo ich zustimme, ist Steve Martins tolle Leistung in einer ernstzunehmenden Rolle. Mal ganz anders, aber gut!
