Shopgirl (2005)
Cast: Steve Martin (Ray Porter), Claire Daines (Mirabelle Buttersfield), Jason Schwartzman (Jeremy Kraft)
For complete info, see IMDb's Shopgirl page.
I was finally getting around to reading this Steve Martin novela when I heard about the movie coming out soon. The timing was pretty good. Not surprisingly, the book goes into a bit more depth about the characters, etc. However, I think they did a great job putting Shopgirl on the big screen! I'm sure a LOT of that has to do with the fact that Steve Martin wrote the book and the screenplay and starred in the movie. Definitely helps to have the author that involved in the project. It really showed in the final film.
I think Shopgirl is a very interesting story and definitely worth renting! You won't miss anything by seeing it on a smaller screen, so check it out.
