Petoria c My theory--this is Steve Martin's fifty something fantasy that he wrote between marriages. His blind spot is that he comes across as creepy. Story line is one star, but I gave an extra star so the review doesn't appear bitter. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Gareth v Not a bad movie, but this Steve Martin project does come across as being quite creepy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Sometimes I feel like critics just love a nice glass of wine to go along with a boring film . Acting was fine but that’s it . 1.8. Why did they gotta make Steve Martin such a prick you could tell it was unnatural for him . I feel like the goal was to try to make it kinda a gatsby esque film but they failed Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/21 Full Review camille l Alors que les vingt premières minutes du film semblent indiquer une romcom tout à fait indigente entre un Jason Schwartzmann immature et une Claire Danes plus convaincante qu'à l'accoutumée, c'est lorsque Steve Martin entre en scène que le film se met à ressembler à quelque chose de différent. Sur un ton plutôt mélancolique sans non plus tomber dans la parodie indie, Shopgirl est une belle et émouvante histoire d'émancipation, portée par un excellent Steve Martin qui écrit aussi le scénario issu de sa propre nouvelle. Anand Tucker n'est pas le plus grand réalisateur du monde, mais il trouve quelques idées sympathiques de mise en scène, faisant de Shopgirl un vrai bon moment reposant. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Steve Martin has this subtle and nuanced way of being provactive and agile in his criticism while also allowing room for the human elements of life to play out. i think it's a raw and stunning portrayal of desire, learning and disapointment wrapped around beautiful performances. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Steve Martin thinks he's being literary by offering us snapshot monologues from his novella which are fake deep at best. The characters in this lover's triangle are all poorly developed creatures who do share one redeeming feature-all are miserably lonely. But what do we know of the girl-woman who sells opera gloves at Saks? And why is it that she's working there at all after graduating from a prestigious Vermont college? Strange. And funny how she has no boyfriend at the start of the film. The relationship between characters played by Martin and Danes is creepy and lecherous, as if Danes is kissing her snowy-haired grandfather. Can you say Daddy issues? This all feels forced, especially when Danes gets paid to strip to the buff to please the dudes in the audience. Claire, Claire, Claire. And there's absolutely no chemistry between Danes and Schartzman. I get the feeling that Steve Martin actually believes that he has delivered up a novella and matching film of literary significance, but what he actually has is a phony baloney chunk of writing that will soon be forgotten.
