The basic plot: Mirabelle Buttersfield (Claire Danes) has recently moved from Vermont to LA and works at the glove counter at Saks Fifth Avenue. She has little friends but meets Jeremy Kraft (Jason Schwartzman)a quirky artist and they start a short lived fling. After some time Ray Porter (Steve Martin) a wealthy businessman asks out Mirabelle and a budding romance ensues, but he has made clear it is am open relationship.
Shop Girl starts off slow, but picks it up with some emotion. The movie provided a little bit more depth as they delve into Claire Danes bored character with depression. Jason Schwartzman's character Jeremy Kraft was very annoying in the beginning and you wonder how someone could care for him, but he slowly grows on you like mold.
A somewhat entertaining movie with likeable characters.
