Director Henry Jaglom once again casts his quirky gaze on a common female obsession in this comedy drama. Holly (Victoria Foyt) owns a small and upscale boutique in Santa Monica, and has just learned that her accountant and significant other, Adam (Bruce Davison), has betrayed her -- even worse than cheating on her, he's run off with three month's worth of rent, and she has only a few days to raise the money or lose her space. With Mother's Day approaching, Holly is hoping for a big weekend to save the day, but she has other problems to contend with as she has to patch up a misunderstanding with her mother (Lee Grant), who offers to refer her to a loan shark, and her daughter (Mae Whitman). Meanwhile, with Adam out of the picture, Holly finds herself flirting with Miles (Rob Morrow), the long-suffering boyfriend of one of her customers. And in the midst of the buying frenzy, many of Holly's customers share their feelings about shopping and the role it plays in their lives. Leading lady Victoria Foyt co-authored the screenplay with director Jaglom (who is also her husband). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Manipulation 101, everybody's a predator -- the shop owner, her accountant, loan shark, boyfriends, mother, daughter & some customers. Victoria Foyt is hot, humorous & a great salesperson. The best part about it; "everybody" is so alive. The plot jumps around a lot, but this film has a nice pace, if it bogs down just keep watching, it will improve soon. Watch this to observe shopping obsessions & manipulation tactics. A couple of these scenes were painful to watch -- probably because they seemed so real.

This is another classic from Jaglom in the caliber of "Deja Vu", which is another of my all time favorites. As he does in all of his films, he really captures the human condition at its most vulnerable and absurd. Yet, he always finds room to convey the outrageous humor contained within the human experience. If you haven't seen a Henry Jaglom film then you are definitely short changing your movie experiences. Even though many people may consider "Going Shopping" a chick flick, Jaglom portrays his characters in clearly human terms that everyone can relate to, man or woman. Don't let the title throw you. Whether you like shopping or not, or whether you're a male or female, I believe you will definitely enjoy this film.

This was such a stupid movie. Couldn't make it 30 minutes in, bad acting! Not worth renting!
