History Main / ShoppingMontage

* Another Creator/DonBluth movie, ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'' has one too during the song "Paris Holds The Key (To Your Heart)".

* ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', in this case however the "protégé" is an adult, and the person who takes her shopping is a six-year-old child.

* Something like this was also done in ''Life Size''. But Lindsay Lohan's character's father also came along. This was when Eve first came and they were at the mall.

* Rebbecca goes on one in ''Film/AmericanDreamer'', buying [[PrettyInMink loads of furs]] and dresses with shoulder pads (this was TheEighties), and accidentally billing someone else for it all.

* ''Film/PrettyWoman'': It's the movie's most remembered scene, when Vivian goes shopping on Rodeo Drive, with the help of Edward, she cleans up and buys lots of expensive clothes, and with her new look, she goes back to the store that rejected her and parades her multiple shopping bags to the store clerks who mistreated her.

* In ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', HilarityEnsues when [[TheWoobie Hanners]]' mom stops by and has no idea how to relate to her daughter. Faye suggests they do this, and Hanners' mom agrees. This leads to Hanners' mom forcing her -- hyper-neurotic -- daughter to try on some clothes, which very quickly leads to them getting kicked out of the mall. Instead, they fulfill the usual bonding aspect of this trope by going to a bar and getting incredibly drunk.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' when Luanne's mother is using Bill to shop what she wants. Sales receipts display on the screen showing how much Bill spent. The montage also show problems with Hank and Luanne.

* ''Film/PrettyWoman'':

* TheNineties ''Anime/SailorMoon'' anime has one ending theme animation during [=SuperS=] which is the girls having a Shopping Montage with Chibiusa.

* The new ''Series/BionicWoman''.

* Done in an episode of ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' where the cast [[LotusEaterMachine think they've gotten back to Earth]]. Teyla is excited to see Earth, so Sheppard offers to show her (NobleSavage from a preindustrial planet) around. And inevitably ends up subjected to a lengthy shopping spree. Since the "Earth" they're experiencing is largely constructed from Sheppard's memories, this probably says more about his past dating experiences than her.

** "A Very Brady Sequel" has the Brady kids visit a new shopping center in preparation for their parents' upcoming anniversary party. They end up spending more time dancing around the place than shopping, with antagonist Trevor wanting no part in their numbers.

[[quoteright:350:[[TheHills http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shop_mon_w_9047.jpg]]]]

A staple trope of romantic comedies, chick flicks and sitcoms. A woman (usually a mother or a mother figure) who wants to spend some Quality Time with her protege (usually, her daughter) takes the protege out on a shopping trip, usually to TheMall -- buying dresses and makeup, getting their nails done together, etc. The shopping trip is usually shown as a montage, featuring scenes such as:
* Credit cards being swiped

* Shoppers talking to the store attendants

* ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', in this case however the "protege" is an adult, and the person who takes her shopping is a child.

* Done in an episode of ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' where the cast [[LotusEaterMachine think they've gotten back to Earth]]. Teyla is excited to see Earth, so Sheppard offers to show her (NobleSavage from a preindustrial planet) around… And inevitably ends up subjected to a lengthy shopping spree. Since the “Earth� they're experiencing is largely constructed from Sheppard's memories, this probably says more about his past dating experiences than her.

* The new ''BionicWoman''.
