Shopgirl: What was with the watch?

Under discussion:

Shopgirl  (2005)

I didn't really like this movie, and no, it's not because I'm squeamish about old guys like Steve Martin getting naked.  The main reason why this movie didn't work for me was because of the watch scene.

For those who haven't seen the movie, there is a scene where Steve Martin takes off Claire Daines's watch, puts his hand around her wrist, and says something like, "I'll be your watch."  At the showing, a good number of people actually burst out laughing, including myself.

Aside from that, I don't like either one of the men that she's with.  One is a pennyless loser who tries to use a plastic bag as a condom, and the other is a rich perv who can't find a woman his own age.  Even when the loser cleans himself up and puts on a suit, I still don't think he's sympathetic enough that I should cheer when he gets the girl.

I like unusual movies, especially unusual romances, but this movie didn't do it for me.  Sorry to all the actors involved.  I know you're all talented.  This movie didn't show it.

On a last side note, did anyone else hear about Steve Martin marrying that really young girl?  Talk about art imitating life!
