I watched shop girl after north country- immediately after. Steve Martin (shop girl) is really growing too old for roles like these, he should stick to producing directing, writing screenplays- I don't know whatever..and definitely play father. Shopgirl is too damm slow and has too many insipid actors.It is'nt even and average movie- it is way below average.
North Country, well that was another story. Charlize Theron plays a mine worker who confronts her boorish co-workers, protests against physical and mental abuse at work and files the first ever class action sexual harassment lawsuit in America.Inspired by a real story and set in Minnesota of the 1980s the fim features three oscar nominated actresses-Sissy Spacek , Frances McDormand and Theron herself. The film was all Charlize- full marks for her potrayal but ditto for her make-up. Critics call it a potential oscar bait- a movie with a strong social message and see shades of Erin Brokovich in the movie. My theory is the latter could have been the reason why the only oscar nominations for the film are those for best actress and best supporting actress.
