Plot Summary: Based on Steve Martin's bestselling novella, "Shopgirl" is a funny and poignant story of love in the modern age. The film catches a glimpse inside the lives of three very different people on diverse paths, but all in search of the same thing. Mirabelle (Claire Danes) 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 minimum payment on her credit card and student loans, she keeps to herself until a rich, handsome fifty something named Ray Porter (Steve Martin) sweeps her off her feet. Simultaneously, Mirabelle is being pursued by Jeremy (Jason Schwartzman), a basic bachelor who's not quite as cultured and successful as Ray. When fate steps in, the outcome may not always be a storybook ending, because in the end...it was life.

I just watched it. It was a neat little movie with some cool music thrown in throughout. Jason Schartzman had some drop dead funny lines, he was outstanding. I had totally forgotten about him, I hadn’t seen him in anything since Rushmore.

“Are you the kind of person that takes time to get to know, and then once you get to know them... they're fabulous?” “Yes, absolutely... What?”

Is this the movie where we see Claire Danes' cans? I've had a manly sized crush on her for years and seeing them could possibly allow me some closure

You also get to see her nice buttocks. Steve Martin actually plays a serious character. It’s a little weird at first, but he did a great job.

This knowledge you have is pretty amazing. Kind of like the stupid Football statistics that I keep in my head.

Are you thinking of Scarlett Johansson?
