Confessions of a Shopaholic

Starring: Isla Fisher, Hugh Dancy, Krysten Ritter, et al.

Product Description

Rebecca Bloomwood is a sweet and charming New York City girl who has a tiny, little problem that is rapidly turning into a big problem: she's hopelessly addicted to shopping and drowning in a sea of debt. While Rebecca has dreams of working for a top fashion magazine, she can't quite get her foot in the door-that is, until she snags a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine published by the same company. Overnight, her column becomes hugely popular, turning her into an overnight celebrity. But when her compulsive shopping and growing debt issues threaten to destroy her love life and derail her career, she struggles to keep it all from spiraling out of control...and is ultimately forced to reevaluate what's really important in life.

Customer Reviews

Cost and worth are two different things.

This is a fun formula movie, and you can add Isla Fisher to the extensive list of actors, such as Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock, who make their mark with romantic comedies where the girl goes wrong but gets her man. This time it is about a girl, Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher), who has a compulsion to shop. She is being stalked by a debt collector, Derek Smeath (Robert Stanton), and he takes a job in a financial magazine as a bridge to the fashion magazine that she wants to work for. The situation, of course, is never clear-cut. We pretty much know what is going to happen and have the fun of kibitzing.
