June 15, 2009It was cute enough, it was kinda slow at times. And the weirdo/random narration/slowing down of the film was strange and I feel like it disrupted the flow of the movie. It seems that they used the same music over and over. I was just glad that I didn't have to watch an actual sex...( read more)

August 5, 2008Jason Schwartzman's character was great. Otherwise it was just a movie about an old rich guy using a young girl and regretting it.

April 1, 2008I went into this with low expectations but its actually a relatively good film as romcoms go

November 13, 2009All'inizio ero un po' prevenuta, pensando fosse l'ennesimo filmetto scemo (colpa del titolo), ma sono bastati giusto poco minuti per farmi cambiare idea.
Vorrei rivederlo, ho anche comprato il dvd ma ancora non riesco a riguardarlo, fa troppo male sapere di essere come Mirabelle. -
November 11, 2009After reading Steve Martin's memoir, I really appreciate this film. I didn't really "get it" when I saw it a few years ago, but there's a lot more to take in on second viewing. The romance with Jason Schwartzman is just the right amount of quirky. Maybe it goes a little over the ...( read more)

A film of wisdom, emotional subtlety and power. full review

Marcy Dermansky, About.com
It's an appealing role for Danes. Not only does she get to wear shimmering vintage dresses and high heel shoes, she also drives a pick-up truck full review

Shopgirl is sadly vacuous, with a sadly vacuous center. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The May-December thing worked in Lost in Translation and it works here, thanks to the perceptive and gracefully romantic script that Martin has adapted from his novella. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Written, starring and co-produced by Martin, the film is directed by Anand Tucker (Hilary and Jackie) with the studied dreaminess of a perfume ad. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Shopgirl, written by Steve Martin, based on his slender novel of the same name, is an elegant and exquisitely tailored romantic comedy.

Second-rate Lost in Translation preciousness. full review

January 22, 2008An underated, purely character driven, poignant & funny tale of love & relationships in the modern age. I especially love the scene where the character Lisa mistakes Jeremy's character for the character of Ray and Jeremy gets laid!
STUFF LIKE THAT NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!!! LMAO!
A well served sndtrk throughout the entire film as well. If you can not appreciate classical music then you may want to skip this one. -
January 15, 2008"Is it a Condom or a Mint??" This truly was a captivating film. It had a lot of character developments that drove me into the movie to like it even more. The symbolisms they capture work very well with the characters. You really get to know them and have a feel for who they are. Claire Danes is fantastic along with Jason Schwartzman and of course Steve Martin. Who I was really glad to see come back was Bridgette Wilson that was in "Billy Madison" and always" Frances Conroy" from "Six Feet Under". It goes to show you in life you never know what lays around the corner..and everything is unpredictable. 3 stars
