All she ever wanted was a little credit...A new job? Hopefully.
A new man? Possibly.
A new handbag? Absolutely!
"Confessions of a Shopaholic" is adapted from the Shopaholic series of novels by Sophie Kinsella. That's an obvious fact, right? If you read one or two chick flicks, you would have seen Sophie Kinsella's books in prominent bookstores.
I like this synopsis from the DVD cover: "Struggling with her debilitating obsession with shopping and the sudden collapse of her source of income, Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) unintentionally lands a job writing for a financial magazine after a drunken letter-mailing mix-up. Rebecca's innovative comparisons and unconventional metaphors for economics grants her critical acclaim, public success, and the admiration of her supportive boss, Luke. But as she draws closer to her ultimate goal of writing for renowed fashion magazine Alette, she questions her true ambitions and must determine if overcoming her "shopaholic" condition will bring her real happiness."
Isla Fisher is stunning and she reminds me of Amy Adams from Enchanted. Overall, just as how its central character Rebecca Bloomwood is, this movie leaves you with a subtle blend of vivacious, charming, witty, and interesting feel. Well, with a happy ending too. :)
Nice.
