Fun Stuff

Goofs:

Errors in geography: At the end of the movie, Martha stops by a marketplace off the highway back to Connecticut. In the hall of the marketplace, a Canadian flag can be seen flying from a pole, where you would otherwise expect an American flag to be. more

Quotes:

Martha Stewart: I want cotton. I want three-hundred thread count minimum, or this face doesn't sell these sheets. Just because Kmart sells inexpensive products doesn't mean they can't be beautiful. That's why I'm here: not to sink to your level, but to raise you to mine. more

See this movie if your thinking of starting your own business., 7 May 2004
Author: modius from United Kingdom

Cybill Shepherd plays in this very easy to watch movie which charts the rise and fall of Martha Stewart.

Whilst I don't know Martha Stewart or what she represents to today's American Society, I do know that I enjoyed this movie and I often take time out from my busy schedule to watch it.

Sure its not the best movie in the world, but I watch it because it's sometimes funny and sometimes realistic about the world of business. And I think its a good movie if you want to know what it takes to become an entreprenuer or start your own business.

Sometimes it re-invigorates my own ideals and my own personal goals. So that's why I like this movie.

Overall: 6/10.
