a parody (gone wrong) of lost in translation

From the very start of the movie when Steve Martin begins his lame narrative, I could tell I would not like the movie but to what extent I had no idea. Martin narrates the death out of the movie--spelling out every... Full review

This movie was extremely boring & slow. I was so looking forward to it being over. The narrative was cheesy, the acting was poor, there was absolutely no plot and the characters were just plain annoying. And this was supposed to... Full review

This movie was slow in the sense that it grabbed your attention through your heart and mind instead of crazy plots and action. I loved it, but only once I got to the end and everything gelled. It's a great date... Full review

I have to say that I really liked this movie because I thought it was somewhat different to what I'm used to seeing as a very happily never after ending. Great acting and the story itself was great. Here is this... Full review

This is one of the WORST movies ive ever seen. Who thought of this storyline???? It was boring, no drama or action, and the events were poorly connected. Usually, Steve Martin is energetic like in Cheaper by the Dozen 2 but... Full review

The whole movie was like watching a photography gallery. The camera work was very artistic, however, the movie dragged and dragged. Every scene, move, or dialogue was really slow. This movie could have been much shorter. Because it was not exciting,... Full review

Instead, Shopgirl wavers between quirky comedy (mainly embodied in the wonderfully offbeat character of Jeremy) and a sad, dramatic edge driven by the characters' often deeply emotional plights..... ... Full Review

With his yokel grin and his white three-piece suit, Martin delivered an act that was willfully silly and weirdly wholesome and, by design, politics-free. Steve Martin has become such a reliable and (if we can just blot out the memory of his Clouseau film) such a beloved figure in film and TV that it's hard to recall that time -- roughly the second half of the 1970s -- when he was one of America's first great counter-countercultural comedians. ...

I was absolutely blown away by this beautiful film, however....recommend it to anyone who doesn't require their movies to have car chases or cyborgs.....Although this movie has three of my favorite actors in it, I didn't have high hopes.... ... Full Review

Good movie. For me " Shopgirl " is a romantic comedy with much more beneath the surface than one would first suspect. The movie isn't a classic, but it is worth the time to watch, more than once dare I say. ... Full Review

Martin-lovers expecting the white-maned funnyman, however, are in for a disappointment. Adapted by Martin from his own novel, it's even got some perceptive and amusing things to say about love and relationships. ... Full Review
