Confessions of a Shopaholic

You all know I'm a chick flick fan. I came out of this movie feeling really happy.

It does what it says on the tin. Rebecca (Isla Fisher - little Shannon Reed from Home and Away and now residing and maybe even married to Borat with a kid- omg) is so perky. Not everyone can do perky, but Isla can. Her clothes are hideous, it really is the only way to describe them. She's got some lovely shoes (and some horrible ones as well which I call hooker heels - you know the ones - not the sleek heels, but the clunky ones - I hate them). Anyway I digress or do I since this movie is about a woman who has gotten herself deep into debt with debt collectors (one particularly nasty one) at her heels, always one step behind.

She is a journalist and her fondest wish is to work at Allette magazine. She misses out on an interview for that magazine, but then goes for an interview at a sister magazine. She gets the job at the money managing magazine and reaches all the highs, goes to Shopaholics Anonymous, gets the man, loses the man due to her deceit, loses her friends, discovers the meaning of her life, gets the man, turns down the woman - Allette (Kristin Scott Thomas), auctions all her clothes, pays her debts. The end.

Almost in that order, but I thought it was very good. Isla Fisher is perfectly cast and I haven't read the book, although I think somewhere in my collection I have a Shopaholic book.

It's funny in Sparklythings post about books further down, I realised I have a lot of the books in my collection waiting to read at work. I must get all these books home and start reading.

Anyway, if you want some lighthearted entertainment that won't stay with you much longer than leaving your seat Confessions is for you. If you don't like chick flicks where the chick gets the.....er man, then don't go.
