Movie review

From Time Out New York

Ladies, beware: Henry Jaglom still thinks he understands women. Going Shopping traffics in inanities that make the comic strip Cathy read like a Simone de Beauvoir treatise by comparison. The owner of a precious boutique-café (Foyt) has a sale to raise the 40K she needs to keep her shop open, and she fights with her hapless boyfriend, pubescent daughter and klepto mother (Grant). In lieu of distaff insight, we are pummeled with retail-therapy banalities; if Jaglom could stop recycling such soggy pop psych, audience members would be less depressed too.
