Confessions of a Shopaholic is a new blistering comedy for the whole family to enjoy. The movie tells a passionate story of a talented journalist Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) who has a dream to be a journalist for the popular Alette magazine. Life is a tricky thing and when the garden magazine she is working in goes bankrupt, Rebecca, ironically, becomes a financial adviser columnist. Ironically, because she has CRAZY debts thanks to her looooove to shopping.
Rebecca can’t miss a shop, she always needs something and visits all sales, what is more, she is gaga over shopping and she takes it too serious: it’s not a problem for her to take this or that thing in credit, mannequins talk to her in a friendly manner, and she always wants to buy something.
“Shopaholic” is a warm and very touching movie and it puts smiles on faces of people. There is no tragedy in it, the movie is easy and highly enjoyable. The film is full of real and true emotions: love, work, friendship … everything weaves here in a fantastic and catching story. However, I don’t think that those hating shopping will either love or understand the movie.
I enjoyed the movie, and I am not a shopaholic at all. This film is very fun and sincere. We see main heroes the way they are: not flawless, not the best, and sometimes not winners at all. A friend of mine thinks that this movie is so-so but I completely disagree, because it makes people feel great. Highly recommended.
