Confessions of a Shopaholic

I admit, I've been binging on chick flicks, but being a former shopaholic, I felt compelled to see this film. Plus, I read the book, so seeing the movie was a must!

Thinking that this would follow in the footsteps of Sex and the City and He's Just Not That Into You, I really wanted to love this movie. It was good but not great.

Confessions of A Shopaholic tells the tale of Rebecca Bloomwood, an aspiring fashion journalist, who is forced to battle her shopping addiction after losing her job and avoiding debt collectors. To help pay off the debt and reach her dream job, she embellishes her resume and lands a job as a financial reporter for an affiliated magazine. Of course, this is where she meets the man of her dreams, who *gasp* is disguisingly filthy rich and understands Prada. Sounds pretty typical huh?

The chemistry between Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy is magnetic. Sissy Spacek and John Goodman always make me laugh. The script, however, was another story. I can always tell whether I'm going to enjoy a movie by watching the first few minutes. The first few minutes of this film were boring me to tears. It did redeem itself toward the middle only to become ridiculously predictable by the end.

If America can survive being thousands of dollars in debt, so can you! This made me chuckle. What a great capitalistic line -- how very corporate america of them!!

Shopping is a guilty pleasure of mine. As cliche as it sounds, retail therepy is still one of the best forms of therepy. Whether you're nursing a broken heart or just trying to recoup from a bad day, there's nothing better than finding the perfect outfit to help you look and feel fabulous again. Ok, ok, there are exceptions to that rule…but meh..i'm a girl who has a thing for shoes and clothes.

If you can wait, save this movie for a girl's night in - it'd be the perfect end to a dinner and games night with your dearest girl pals!
