Confessions of a Shopaholic (DVD)

*Introduction* I collected the book from the library last week and have started to read Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella after seeing that the film was out at the cinema. My friend called me Monday evening asking if I fancied going to the cinema. We narrowed the film choice down to He's Just Not That Into You or Confessions of a Shopaholic?

It was very different but still as silly all the same but I liked it and here is why. This is a film only review again as I watched it on the plane. Story wise and this film follows the exploits of Rebecca Bloomwood who gets a job as a financial journalist and advises ...  Read the complete review
