Henry Jaglom's latest study of contemporary female obsessions among a noxious clan of West L.A. bourgeoisie is of more pathological than cinematic interest.

This boutique of a movie won't bring in the madding crowds of a Macy's sale.

[Has] enough moments of insight to blunt charges of sexist stereotyping.

Not only is indulgence a frequent subject for Jaglom, it also sums up what his movies do -- and what they demand from their audience, sometimes to tedious degrees.

The film is less than two hours long but feels considerably longer, thanks to a few drawn-out scenes and some clunky character drama.

[An] incredibly tedious and gruesome affair.

Dangerously close to tiresome. The comedic boutique framework is a little too frill and a bit understocked.

There's one thing to be said for Jaglom: He continues to make movies in the face of critical brickbats and audience indifference, and he's lost none of his power to insult.

At times movies seem rife with misogyny, yet Jaglom consistently expresses a love for women in his films.

Comes as close as any film to explaining what the deal is with women and shopping.

Inadvertently reduces women to a variety of cliches, probably reinforcing many men's worst fears.

[A] witty follow-up to director Henry Jaglom's Eating and Baby Fever.

Going Shopping can make a wonderful outing for girlfriends. It's fun.

As breezy as window-shopping and reminds us that, in both shopping and love, everyone has buyer's remorse and few items fit right.

Alleges support of women, yet fetishizes their objects instead of their relationships.
