Shop Girl / Brokedown Palace / Family Stone

BROKEN DOWN PALACE

Brokedown Palace starts out simply enough. Alice and Darlene are lifelong friends who just graduated from their small town high school in Ohio. They haven't been separated since they were babies, so they want to do something special together before Darlene leaves for college in the fall. After a classmate tells them about a friend who spent only $500 during an entire summer in Bangkok, they decide to go on an eleven day budget adventure to Thailand with money they've saved working as motel maids.

FAMILY STONE

The comedy revolves around the annual holiday gathering of a bohemian family that's thrown into turmoil when the fair-haired son introduces his fiance, a high strung New York businesswoman whom the family hates.

SHOP GIRL

Based on Steve Martin's best-selling novel, and starring Golden Globe winner Claire Danes, Golden Globe nominee Steve Martin and Jason Schwartzman, Shopgirl is an engaging love story brimming with humour and charm. 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 (Schwartzman), a quirky and socially inept guy who doesnt seem to be going anywhere, and Ray (Martin), a wealthy entrepreneur who has the world at his feet. Filled with the mixed signals and missteps of a modern romance, Shopgirl is a disarmingly funny and enchanting story that will stay with you long after the final scene.
