Trailer Tuesday: Shopgirl
Shopgirl tells the story the lives of three people on diverse paths in search of the same thing. Mirabelle is a small town girl and struggling artist overseeing the glove counter at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. She is swept off her feet by a rich, handsome fifty-something. At the same time, she is also being pursued by a struggling musician who offers kindness, but lacks passion, culture, and success. When fate steps in, Mirabelle is forced to choose between accepting financial security in exchange for the sacrifice of her heart or to take a shot on a late bloomer recently showing some unexpected potential.
The movie stars Steve Martin, Claire Danes, and Jason Schwartzman. Jimmy Fallon was originally slated to play Schwartzman's role, but he pulled out before filming began. No matter, as I think Schwartzman can play this sort of role better than Fallon, anyway.
Steve Martin apparently pulled a "Woody Allen" by writing a screenplay where a young girl falls for an older guy . . . and then starring as the older guy.
