Fun for a matinee,

By Mary E. Clarneau “mary clarneau movie buff” (raleigh, nc) -

  

We start with Rebecca Bloomwood, the charming and absolutely adorable Isla Fisher. She has a knack for labels and finding sales in order to own them. She uses the analogy of falling in love and compares it to the satisfaction of trading plastic for goods. Heart melts like butter when she sees a store, and she always dreamed of using her magic cards. At one point we see her buying a 120 scarf and splitting it over five cards and still coming up 23 dollars short. When she realizes she has a problem, over 12 credit cards, she also realizes her boss has rolled over on the company and she no longer has a job. The hillarious tragedies that ensue over these many complications only get better as the debt collectors find her. Very cute movie, good for taking your mind off of things, especially in these hard economic times.

Depends on your view of Book v. Movie,

This review is from: Confessions of a Shopaholic [Theatrical Release] (Theatrical Release)

I went out and read the book to see what this movie was all about. I liked the book and looked forward to the movie. I found a lot of negative reviews but most went along the lines of “in these times…” which annoys me because generally you shouldn’t judge a movie by the economic times it comes out in.

If you go to the movie expecting something resembling the book, you will be disappointed. The book is about 90% different than the movie and in the book Rebecca was much more believable as just an every day person getting into debt. If I remember correctly in the book Becky got an advance after graduation and just got into the habit of spending until it had grown well past what she had in the bank. But it was not so bad that she seemed irresponsible. In the book she is a valued reporter at successful savings from the start. And Luke Brandon was just someone she knew as a reporter. Overall a much stronger and independent woman in the book (oh and it was all set in London).

Here, um not so much. Her spending is very out of control for no reason and she starts off at a gardening magazine. Since she seems to have no interest in reporting (other than to get to fashion :: SUPER CLICHE’:::) and indeed takes a job at successful savings to attempt to get into a fashion magazine, she comes off a bit flighty and selfish. I felt bad for all those serious girls in the waiting room who wanted the job at Sucessful Savings — that went to Becky because she wanted to shop. Fortunately, in the movie, for someone so hapless she gets a charming handsome editor who thinks she is pretty and thinks most of what she does is great.

Of course the movie ends in kind of the “tootsie” live tv moment where Becky is outed as being in big debt (while in the book it is Becky who takes Brandon to task on tv for one of his companys taking advantage of ordinary folks ) but in the movie everyone loves her anyway after proving to be a fraud.

I guess the *current economic times* comes into play in that Becky in the movie is the person we all hate. The person who got the too big for her to pay mortgage even though she knew, or should have, there was no way to pay for it, the person who got into debt and is now declaring bankruptcy… yet, this movie gives her the dreamy Hugh Dancy as reward. And in the movie, Becky never seems remorseful, yet in the book she really is.

I might have enjoyed this more had I not read the book. To see a strong independent Becky there kind of makes me frustrated that things were so changed here.

Hilarious!!!!,

I absolutely loved this movie! I saw it the weekend it was realeased and could not wait for it to be released on dvd. It will definitely make you laugh out loud! I thought the plot was very original and just hilarious. Also behind all the fashions and loads of laughs makes you think about how you spend your money and consequences of it. But overall, it deserves an A for laughs, fun and originality. A movie that will definitely put a smile on your face and in your heart if you don’t already have one! I can’t wait till next week for its dvd realease!
