Based on Steve Martin's best-selling novella, and starring Golden Globe winner Claire Danes (The Family Stone), Golden Globe nominee Steve Martin and Jason Schwartzman (Bewitched), Shopgirl is a disarmingly funny love story. Mirabelle, brilliantly played by Danes, is an aspiring artist working behind the glove counter at a Beverly Hills department store when she meets two very different men - Jeremy (Jason Schawrtzman), a socially inept guy who doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and Ray (Martin) a wealthy entrepreneur who has the world at his feet. Filled with the mixed signals and misteps of modern romance, Shopgirl is a fresh and witty, warm and funny romantic comedy you can't help but fall in love with.

• Jimmy Fallon was originally slated to play the role of Jeremy but dropped out of the project before filming began, the role then went to Jason Schwartzman.
• Before Steve Martin decided to take the role of Ray Porter for himself, he had considered Tom Hanks for the role, but later changed his mind sighting that he might be able to do a better job since he was more familiar with the character having wrote it himself.
• In the background of the Best Buy scene you can see rows of DVD's for My So Called Life, Saturday Night Live, and Saved By The Bell.
