Editorial Review:
Fall in love with the adorable Becky Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) in the hilarious romantic comedy Confessions Of A Shopaholic. Becky is desperate for a job writing for a high-fashion magazine in glamorous New York. She gets her stilettos in the door writing a personal finance column at a sister publication. Much to her surprise, her column, The Girl In The Green Scarf, becomes a hit, and she falls head over high heels for her handsome, overworked boss (Hugh Dancy). But Becky has a secret that leads to some hilarious high jinks that could unravel it all. From the best-selling novel, and featuring the perfect comedic cast, it s the feel-good romantic comedy you ll fall in love with over and over.

Bonus Features Include: Bloopers, deleted scenes, music video Stuck with Each Other.

Fantastic!
2009-12-21 - I got this for my sister in-law as a Christmas present, its not Christmas yet so I don't know if it works properly but it is a new dvd so I think it'll be fine. Anyway, shipped fast and got here fast so I'm happy!

i love romantic comedies...but i really hated this film
2009-12-19 - I also love Hugh Dancy, but his acting wasn't good enough to save this horrible, pointless movie. The plot is ridiculous because we're supposed to care about a frivolous idiot, and a perfectly reasonable man is falling in love with her. Isla Fisher's acting is painful, so are her hemline choices -- plot and script too -- the debt collector thing is absurd. Can't believe they got Kristin Scott Thomas for this...Wish I could have that hour and a half back. It's that bad.

good.
2009-12-11 - This movie was very cute, i liked it, and it was sad at parts to.. THE END.

yet another cookie-cutter romantic comedy
2009-12-07 - A would-be satire on our consumer culture, "Confessions of a Shopaholic" is really just another lame-brained romantic comedy whose only real claim to fame is that it lays waste to more than the usual number of talented supporting players (John Goodman, Joan Cusack, Julie Hagerty, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Lithgow, Fred Armisen and Lynn Redgrave can be counted among its victims).

Isla Fisher plays Rebecca Bloomwood, a lifelong compulsive shopper who's racked up so many credit card bills that she`s being hounded day and night by a relentless collection agent. Somehow, she manages to wrangle her way into a job as writer for a Manhattan-based business magazine, even though the only thing she apparently knows about money is how to spend it (she writes about the economy using banal shopping metaphors that we are supposed to believe are making financial complexity suddenly comprehensible for the illiterate masses). The editor-in-chief is a British-accented dreamboat (Hugh Dancy of the superb "Beyond the Gates") who, of course, becomes Rebecca`s eventual love interest. Soon, the young woman is the toast of the industry as her content-free articles become an inexplicable business and literary world sensation.

Based on the book series by Sophie Kinsella, "Confessions," written by Tim Firth and Tracey Jackson and directed by P.J. Hogan, is a bargain-basement "Devil Wears Prada" knockoff marked by trumped-up high spirits and ineptly executed slapstick. One can bear witness to only so many well-dressed socialites duking it out for fashion bargains before the whole thing begins to become more than a little insulting both to women and to the intelligence of its audience. In fact, the very concept of the movie seems reactionary and sexist, as in, "How cute, that this ditzy little airhead is endeavoring to explain the ins-and-outs of economics to all us stuffed-shirt businessmen." (Think of it as the publishing-world's answer to the "Legally Blonde" films).

Infrequently, the movie hits its satiric target, as in the scene where Rebecca attends a meeting of a Ten-Step Program for shopaholics, but the movie, as a whole, is little more that a series of missed opportunities.

Take it for what it is...
2009-12-04 - This is a movie that is fun... and in a lot of ways, shallow. I don't think it is even meant to be taken seriously since it is a light-hearted romantic comedy where you just kick off your shoes, grab a popcorn... relax, enjoy. If we will closely analize each character in all romantic comedies, I think the best of them won't even make sense... Like Notting Hill, You've Got Mail, While You Were Sleeping, Legally Blonde..., etc... they are awesome because they have their own silly, fun moments that will stay in your heart years down the road... It's honestly hard to enjoy a romantic comedy if you will scrutinize it as if it's a movie that has to make a whole lot of sense in every aspect... You just take the joy out of the fun ride doing so. Just view the movie as what it is... bruhaha and all... I'm sure it will make you appeciate it a tad more. :-)
