Based on Steve Martin's best-selling novella, and starring Golden Globe(R) winner Claire Danes, Steve Martin, and Jason Schwartzman, 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.

Critics Consensus: Shopgirl is precariously slight, but it has some intriguing moments, and Danes is luminous.

...the conclusion feels borrowed from Woody Allen's oeuvre... I suspect [Anand] Tucker had Annie Hall in mind.

Danes and Schwartzman brilliantly perform against the icky subtext of their not-so-cute meet. Jeremy works because he doesn't appear to have an agenda.

Steve Martin's script sneers at the vanity of fake LA girls and their plastic surgery. He is in no position to sneer.

For most women, finding a pair of black gloves on their doorstep would signal "Boston Strangler" rather than "man of my dreams!" and it is this sense of unintentional creepiness that asphyxiates Shopgirl.

Stylish romantic comedy best for older teens.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that the movie includes several "artfully" rendered sex scenes (filtered light, close-ups of beautiful faces), a couple that are comic (one raunchy, with handcuffs and black lace underwear, another interrupted by a cat), and some sex jokes, visual (a men is spotted masturbating through a telescope) and verbal (concerning "performance" and "anxiety). The film also features repeated conversations about relationships, and there's some discussion of one lover being old enough to be a young woman's father). Characters discuss condoms and fellatio, smoke and drink, and rock band members do drugs and encourage groupies.
