 "Click to view larger image")
In the glamorous world of New York City, Rebecca Bloomwood (ISLA FISHER) is a fun-loving girl who is really good at shopping—a little too good, perhaps. She dreams of working for her favorite fashion magazine, but can’t quite get her foot in the door—until ironically, she snags a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine published by the same company. As her dreams are finally coming true, she goes to ever more hilarious and extreme efforts to keep her past from ruining her future.
ISLA FISHER (“Wedding Crashers”) stars in the film from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director P.J. Hogan (“My Best Friend’s Wedding”). The screenplay by Tracey Jackson and Tim Firth and Kayla Alpert is based on the books “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “Shopaholic Takes Manhattan” by Sophie Kinsella

I have read the entire Shopaholics book series to date and I found this movie disappointing. The only thing that the two had in common was the name. If you have a multi-national, multi-billion dollar book series as your base to write a screen play, wouldn't want to stick as close to that source as possible? Especially because that base is so well loved the world over? I just don't understand why changing the story was so necessary. Rebecca Bloomwood is a smart, talented, sweet, big-hearted woman who just has an addiction. Everything in her life is changed, for better or worse, by this addiction (as it is for most addicts) and therein lies the story. We love her, but hate the stupid things she does to feed her addiction as much as she does and none of that came through in this movie. They made her look stupid, incapable, flighty, and irresponsible. How did they expect the public at large to fall in love with a character with no redeemable qualities? Anyone would have a hard time watching someone throw away money in the middle of a recession, especially when they don't understand why she does it. It's not the things, it's the emotion attached to buying the things that she likes. She doesn't wear half the things she owns!! They had a chance to make a great film and make a lot of people, including my self, very happy. I don't understand why they passed that up.
