The trouble with Going Shopping is that it's clogged with personalities and styles that don't congeal.

Reviews for Going Shopping
[Henry] Jaglom's Going Shopping is a nifty little oddity, another of his unlikely, entertaining movie hybrids.
[A] witty follow-up to director Henry Jaglom's Eating and Baby Fever.
Dangerously close to tiresome. The comedic boutique framework is a little too frill and a bit understocked.
Alleges support of women, yet fetishizes their objects instead of their relationships.
Jaglom's concentrated approach serves up some insight to be sure, but the movie states its case in the first 10 minutes and then proceeds to run out of things to say, almost as quickly as the women in this movie think they've run out of things to wear.
The film is less than two hours long but feels considerably longer, thanks to a few drawn-out scenes and some clunky character drama.
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.
This boutique of a movie won't bring in the madding crowds of a Macy's sale.
Typical Jaglom yakker, made fresh by winning performances from Lee Grant, Rob Morrow and Bruce Davison.
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.
Henry Jaglom completes his informal trilogy on estrogen-laced obsessions with this seriocomic exploration of women and clothes.
If this sounds like your type of thing, you'll probably get your money's worth.
At times movies seem rife with misogyny, yet Jaglom consistently expresses a love for women in his films.
As breezy as window-shopping and reminds us that, in both shopping and love, everyone has buyer's remorse and few items fit right.
Going Shopping can make a wonderful outing for girlfriends. It's fun.
