synopsis
A glimpse inside the lives of three very different people on diverse paths, but all in search of the same thing. Mirabelle is a "plain Jane"overseeing the rarely frequented glove counter at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. An artist struggling to keep up with even the minimumpayment on her credit card and student loans, she keeps to herself until a rich, handsome fifty-something, Ray Porter, sweeps her off her feet. Simultaneously, Mirabelle is being pursued by Jeremy, a basic bachelor who's not quite as cultured and successful as Ray. When fate steps in, the outcome won't necessarily have a storybook ending, because in the end, it is life.

Shopgirl has the uncomfortable voyeuristic feeling we're taking a peek into Steve Martin's personal diaries. The film doesn't seem to capture the humor of his book and boxes him into the humorless straight-guy role without anyone to carry the baton for him. Story Based on his popular novella of the same name, Martin takes the non-comedic role in a painfully awkward love triangle. It starts with Mirabelle (Claire Danes), whose stands behind the purse counter of an upscale Beverly Hills department… |
