Man I couldn't stand Shopgirl. The whole time I was asking myself why I was still watching that movie.
Movie rec's:
Depending on how old school you want to go: -The Gidget Movies -That Funny Feeling Others (I haven't seen any recent new releases besides Elizabethtown & In Her Shoes): -Fever Pitch - my bf hates this movie but I find it cute -Must Love Dogs -Serendipity -The Prince and Me -Elizabethtown was decent. I can see how it would drive one crazy. -In Her Shoes was ok. I got depressed and cried but for personal reasons nothing with the movie.
On my short list to watch soon: -Rumor Has It -Casanova -The Family Stone
so, I loved in her shoes. It made me cry. I could relate a little too well. I'm about 20 minutes into Elizabethtown ans am stuggling to not turn it off. If I had anything else to do, it would be off by now. Hopefully it gets better...

Shopgirl is on my list of "to watch" very soon.
I turned it off about 45 minutes into it. I might try again later this week. It was starting to get to the point where I thought it might be good, but I didn't have the patiance for it.

Oh no! I hate it when I recommend something & the person hates it! Glad you liked in her shoes though. I boo hooed too - glad it wasn't just me!

I am late with this, but I recently purchased Before Sunrise. This is the first one. They did a sequel, I think it is called Before Sunset. It is classic Ethan. I can't believe I am calling him classic. It is Ethan Hawke Before He Became Weird. I mean, would you cheat on Uma Thurman??? I digress. It is a great chick flick.
ETA: I just noticed Maddie suggested these movies! And I want to second Mystic Pizza.Fantastic early Julia Roberts chick flick with the wonderful Lilli Taylor. Love her.

I didn't like Shopgirl either. It was one of those movies I kept watching only to see if it actually got better, and it didn't. And I couldn't STAND the music. Nothing was happening and there was this really loud (was it classical? I can't remember) self-important music that made me want to punch the TV.

You guys are crazy! Shopgirl is like my new Annie Hall! Though I will love Annie Hall always and forever. I think it's cause Jeremy reminded me of this guy I dated once and I could totally relate to a lot about Mirabelle. And it's so funny! The scene where Jeremy and Mirabelle hook it? Hilarious.

Try to give Elizabethtown another shot. I really loved that movie. I know it's slow moving, and honestly not a lot happens, but I thought it had a lot of meaning. I like movies like that though. I can say the same about Shopgirl. It's very slow moving, but I liked the meaning.
