Shopgirl (2005)
Based on Steve Martin's bestselling novella, "Shopgirl" is a funny and poignant story of love in the modern age. Mirabelle mans the glove counter at a high end department store in Beverly Hills, selling things that nobody buys anymore. An artist struggling to keep up with even the minimum payment on her credit card and student loans, she lives a quiet life and keeps to herself until a rich, handsome fiftysomething named Ray Porter sweeps her off her feet. Mirabelle revels in the attention, the sex, and especially, being in love, but somewhere, subconsciously, she realizes that the relationship cannot last. Soon, she has to make a decision: will she stick with Ray, hoping that his feelings for her might grow, or does she take a chance with Jeremy, a musician who may offer more? (read more)

Sometimes the best love stories are the ones without love in them at all. Unfortunately for some of us, those are the also sometimes the most revealing.
It's a prevalent contention of mine that most women go through what I call the "older man" phase. I did. And I learned a...
