~*~ Confessions of a shopaholic ~*~ After the first few pages of Sophie Kinsella's 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' book I was absolutely hooked, and went on to read the whole series.

Maxed out credit cards, thousands of pounds in debt, spending money you don't have, then that shocking bill at the end of the month. It doesn't get anymore relevant than that. Overspending, hiding debts from everyone, sleepless nights. We've all done that. Rebecca Bloomwood is a girl that loves shopping, shoes, designer labels and ...  Read the complete review

My friend gave me the Confessions of a shopaholics books to read and to be honest I did read them but I didn't think much of them as the writing style annoyed me and I found the main character to be too annoying to read. The film came out and I love Isla Fisher as I think she is fabulous so I thought I didn't enjoy the books but I may aswell ...  Read the complete review

The first time I watched this film was on the plane, but due to the quality, did not fully appreciate this, and thus got this on DVD to enjoy fully, and it was much better. ~~~DVD COVER~~~ The DVD cover is greatly attractive, colourful, and tells you somewhat about the film. It is quite comedic in itself which will draw attention ...  Read the complete review

My name is Diane and I haven't read the book just watched this movie. This sentence sounds funny for us who haven't been on a therapy. I'm not a shopaholic and I have only some perfumes of famous designer houses. I wouldn't feel comfortable in a cloth worth 1000 pounds or more. I don't write this because I cannot afford it, at least one everybody ...  Read the complete review

This serious and somewhat complicated problematic is portrayed with some ambiguity in the literary series ...  Read the complete review

I, as a hetrosexual 21 year old male, should be saying that I didn't enjoy this film. But as a matter of fact, I actually did! It was filled to the brim with awkward comedic moments, mostly between the protagonist Isla Fisher [Rebecca Bloomwood] and the bumbling English gentleman character of Hugh Dancy [Luke Brandon] but this didn't stop it from ...  Read the complete review

OK now being a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella's books I wasn't too sure what I was going to see when I saw this film. The books are so well written I thought it could transfer to screen really well, but whenever a film is made from a book it's never as good. And my fears were proven right. Becky (Isla Fisher) is a shopping addict and is ...  Read the complete review

I went to see this film the week that it was released at the cinema and I was not even remotely disapointed, but this is beacause I knew exactly what to expect. It's obvious that it's not going to be an Oscar nominated critically acclaimed masterpiece - it's a chick flick pure and simple. I went to see it with four of my best friends and we didn't ...  Read the complete review
