CGiii Comment

Sad to say...but, this hasn't weathered well.

What was meant to be a biting indictment on consumerism is now a paltry pastiche - done with heavy-handed clumsiness.

As a follow-up to the exquisite Bagdad Cafe - it flounders in its shadow.

The quirkiness is too forced, too in-your-face...rendering the whole experience rather redundant.

Shame.

It's a film that you want like to like...but, by the end, you won't.

Shame.

The(ir) Blurb...

Rosalie loves to shop too much to let a little thing like no money stop her. When the local shopkeepers no longer take her bad checks or bad credit cards, she's reduced to stealing from one family member to buy presents for others. It's looking pretty bleak until her daughter pushes her into buying a 'guilt gift' of a PC, complete with modem. Master shopper becomes master hacker, and Rosalie is back on top.
