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.
