In Reply to: Shopgirl- an undiscovered little gem.. posted by EdM on May 29, 2006 at 07:03:01:
I saw this about the time of Broken Flowers, and, as both are about men having "middle" age crises I thought they were quite comparable but this one came out as much better.I really love that scene where Daines and Martin go to bed for the first time and you see the wrinkliness of his hand against the smoothness of her back.
Steve MArtin may never reach the heights (at least of popularity) that he once did, ut this film is a small gem.
What's your favourite MArtin film?
Perhaps alone I love LA Story which I kind of think of as a fairy tale love affair he has with the city, and possibly the movie business.
