(1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1   2/4 "Lost in Translation on steroids"   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers B+ "It's about high time that we get a mature, poignant commentary on relationships as they unfold in reality."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark B "Shopgirl reveals a different, almost melancholy mood inside Steve Martin, and he seems ready to rip apart the conventions of a romantic feature film."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 3.5/5 "It's not really about anything, and the story is incredibly slight, but it's enchanting in the way a piano sonata can be"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null D+ "Steve Martin makes his personal dysfunctional romantic proclivities the subject of a brittle romantic comedy that affords painfully little romance or humor."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "But as the film provides Mirabelle with voiceovered attention, the omniscience seems at once stylish and trite."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 54/100 "Very disappointing, and on so many counts"   Cinemania   Dan Jardine B+ "Cute, but largely unmemorable."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 3/4 "...an effective and faithful adaptation of the source material."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "Proves to have a little extra to offer the viewer before and after the end credits have rolled than any number of homogenized, cookie-cutter love stories released each year."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman A- "I remember noting when I read the book a few years ago how beautiful the language was. And now I'm just as struck by the loveliness of the film."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "A lovely and refined meditation on modern romance rather than the Hollywood sitcom version, and all the better for it."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 " A strange romantic drama in which the three main characters are all losers in love."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "A smart, adult romance that rarely panders to clichés, and gives up the heady bliss of most such movies in favor of something bittersweet."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 7/10 "Un film qui a tous les éléments à la bonne place et dans lequel Martin propose à nouveau un mélange élégant d'une formule qu'il connaît par c%u0153ur."   Panorama   Jean-François Vandeuren '3/4' "An oasis of old-fashioned charm in a modern world."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 6/10 "A bittersweet relationship story presented in a glass case, with an accompanying music box, but it doesn't really earn this treatment."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Martin and Danes both deliver nuanced, understated performances and have far greater chemistry than anyone might have guessed."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 6/10 "The filmmakers put a good number of sweet, tender, appealing gestures into it...yet the movie comes off leaving one vaguely disappointed."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "A step backwards for Steve Martin's writing career, but a big step forward for Claire Danes."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4/5 "It's probably not a good date movie, but it is a good relationship film. Read it, go see it."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/5 "Rather than being a labeled a romantic comedy, Shopgirl is more of a coming-of-age drama"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B- "almost celebrates the state of being lost and lonely. "Shopgirl" is a rainy day film, perfect for those occasional urges to drown oneself in melancholy. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/4 "The film's disingenuous air of bittersweet chic becomes deeply tiresome long before it's over."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/5 "In the end, this is a pretty good film that probably could have been better."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. B- "Danes' glowing performance is in every way the heart of this movie."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Second-rate Lost in Translation preciousness."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "Desperta no espectador um sentimento de agradável melancolia, como aquele que experimentamos quando ouvimos uma melodia triste da qual gostamos muito."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "There's an epic quality that threatens to swamp this simple love story.... But it's still one of the most intelligent and satisfying romances"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline A "This is Claire Danes best performance since 'Romeo + Juliet.'"   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C "www.dictionary.com defines bland as: “not irritating or stimulating; having little or no distinctive flavor.” This definition applies to Shopgirl."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "It's L.A. as it is today, brooding, at times thoughtful, frustrating, and populated by souls like and completely unlike Mirabelle Buttersfield."   Film Threat   Rory L. Aronsky 4/5 "It just might inspire you to think a little bit differently the next time you see a 60-year-old guy holding hands with a 30-year-old cutie."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 2/4 "An elegant distraction, Shopgirl does everything in its power to eliminate human connection."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 7/10 "Steve Martin channels Woody Allen in this problematic, middle-class "Pygmalion" tale based on his own novella."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 2.5/5 Read review   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 8/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
