Reviews for Going Shopping
[Has] enough moments of insight to blunt charges of sexist stereotyping.
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.
[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.
[Henry] Jaglom's Going Shopping is a nifty little oddity, another of his unlikely, entertaining movie hybrids.
Going Shopping is sharp and funny about all the things that shopping can mean to the women who live to do it, and even to those who don't.
Like the funky little shop at its heart, Going Shopping may not look like much from its exterior, but a little browsing turns up unexpected treasures.
Typical Jaglom yakker, made fresh by winning performances from Lee Grant, Rob Morrow and Bruce Davison.
Henry Jaglom completes his informal trilogy on estrogen-laced obsessions with this seriocomic exploration of women and clothes.
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.
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.
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.
