ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

tbills2 Shopgirl is pure patient pleasantry politely presented powerfully picture perfect persisting upon no pressing plot or pace or purpose or prudence as I partly praise it per previously particularized whereupon I primarily praise the pruriently prettily pleasing princess Claire Danes. I love you, Claaaaaaiiiiiirrrrre! I love alliteration but nothing like the way I love Claire Danes and I'll prove it. I resist the urge to tell you Claire's naked butt scene in this is phenomenally poetically primal, I'll just say I love it. Writing is a beautiful thing, and Steve Martin's a beautiful writer, but Claire's the most beautiful, underrated actress ever. Shopgirl is underrated too. I love Claire, she brings out the best in me, but I don't want to talk about me anymore, I want to talk about her. Claire's got a perfect butt and a gorgeous face, but most of all, the most beautiful heart.

jk2two Look past the unnecessary narration and Schwartzman's character who exists only to make this a comedy, and you have two stunningly authentic performances from Claire Danes and Steve Martin. This may be Danes best work, which is only a slight shame because it's not an amazing film. Martin clearly had a large amount of faith in his novel, but again - he did not need to narrate passages that are just as easily communicated through the film. I hear the comparisons to Lost in Translation, and I found this film to be much easier to sit through - it's slow, but it is no where near that slow. It's not a top notch romance by any means, but it has a touch of authenticity that makes it heartwarming. And even if Dane's character is only one you can connect to, it's enough to carry the film.

KissEnglishPasto ...........................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA...and ORLANDO, FLSHOPGIRL, sadly, turned out to be quite a disappointment to me. Steve Martin is one of its three protagonists; here he is also credited with the screenplay, making an adaptation from his own novel of the same name. I have always been quite a fan of Steve Martin and his films. However, SHOPGIRL left me rather perplexed. In its story-line development, it is meticulous and detailed and, as a consequence, is rather plodding and, for lack of a better word, "slow".SHOPGIRL imparts the viewer with the constant sensation that something transcendent is just about to happen. A kind of "perpetual-motion expectation", which, when it finally does take place, ends up being utterly anti-climactic. In all fairness to SHOPGIRL, at least in one sense or another, this is, more often than not, precisely what we experience in real life! But the painful inconvenient truth here is that there already have been too many movies that have shared this "secret" of life with us. Quite frankly, one more appears to be just one too many! Unless you are a world-class Claire Danes and/or Steve Martin fan, you'll be much better off if you don't let yourself get involved with SHOPGIRL. 4* ...ENJOY/DISFRUTELA?!?!?!

richieandsam SHOPGIRL.I had never heard of this movie before I saw it on TV. Normally I would not go out of my way to see dramas... don't get me wrong, I like all kinds of genres of film... but dramas are not at the top of my list.The reason I watched this was because I saw it had Steve Martin in it... I love Steve Martin... the man is a legend!This movie was OK. It was not brilliant but it was entertaining. The story was OK. It was about a lonely girl named Mirabelle, who works behind the counter in a shop. She meets a guy named Jeremy in a laundrette and they go out a couple of times until she meets millionaire Ray at her shop who asks her out... she then leaves Jeremy to start a physical relation with Ray. Ray has commitment issues and Mirabelle has to choose whether to stay with Ray knowing there may never be love in the relationship, or be with Jeremy who is basically a bum but does love her.I have to say that the casting for this film was perfect... I was never a big fan of Claire Danes, but she was brilliant in this.My favourite character in this movie was Jeremy played by Jason Schwartzman... Jason was absolutely brilliant. He made me laugh so much in this film. Jeremy is such a weird guy and comes out with such random quotes... but they were awesome! I love this guy!And then you have Ray... played by the legend that is Steve Martin. He played the part really well... I actually felt sorry for him.I will give this film 6 out of 10.The story was average, but the cast and characters were perfect.For more of my reviews, please check out my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
