Confessions of a Shopaholic (DVD) Reviews

Settling down in my seat, about to start the 9 hour plane journey to my summer holiday destintion, I picked up the on-board magazine an flicked to the film section. When I found that this was one of the two non-cartoons films being shown (the other being Milk- loved it) I was a bit deflated. But I had 9 hours to kill so I decided to watch it. ...  Read the complete review

I wanted to see Confessions of a Shopaholic since it came out in the cinema but never got around to seeing it as obviously my boyfriend wasn't dying to watch it and my two friends went without me one weekend I was away not knowing I desperatley wanted to see it. So, last nite I was just having a quiet night in with my boyfriend, after a ...  Read the complete review

I watched this film being one of the people who had never read the books. I'm not into chic-lit but like chic-films and saw it with my girlfriends! I got the DVD as a present, but I'm not sure I'll be watching it a lot... In a nut shell, Rebecca Bloomwood is in spiralling debt because of her shopping addictions, and has just lost her ...  Read the complete review

I totally loved the books and so was looking forward to seeing the film. It wasn't bad, i don't regret spending my money and seeing it but i did feel a little let down. Maybe because i was comparing it to the book but it just wasn't witty enough. It's a lighthearted, comical and feel-good film. It's about a girl Becky Bloomwood who is ...  Read the complete review

From the second I picked up 'The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic', which was the first title in Sophie Kinsella's shopaholic series, I was hooked. Becky Bloomwood is, it has been agreed by all that I know, a girl after my own heart! I was slightly worried about seeing the film - after falling in love with the books so much, I was ...  Read the complete review

I'm a fan of the book so was impressed by the film. It does leave out some details so I still prefer the books - but obviously they had to do this else the film would be too long. However, it is funny and great because there are no complicated story lines or anything - just relax! Some of it is a bit cheesy - but it's not over the top. It's not ...  Read the complete review

I am a massive fan of sophie kinsella's 'shopaholic' series so I was so excited to see this was being turned into a film. Most of us can relate to Becky Bloomwoods situation: dreaming of the perfect job just taking that rubbish office job until something better comes along, ( 3 yrs later whoops your still there) opening the bank ...  Read the complete review

The moment my best friend heard about Confessions of a Shopaholic, she called me up and told me that this was a movie for me. When I finally got around to watching this movie, I could see exactly why. Apart from the very evident fact that I happen to be an incorrigible Shopaholic, this is exactly the kind of movie that I admire and could watch all ...  Read the complete review

I am sick and tired of seeing brainless heroines in films. Are there any leading ladies for whom women can aspire towards these days? It seems that most films follow this formula of having a stupid lead character who can't even walk properly in heels whose answer to eternal happiness is to find a man. Maybe part of the psychology ...  Read the complete review

I often find that films adapted from books are disappointing, and my enjoyment is limited. However Confessions of a shopaholic I found immensely enjoyable after loving the book of the same only weeks before. Although the film's plotline strays from the book, I felt that having read the book previously, this didn't ruin the film for me. The film ...  Read the complete review

I had been looking forward to this film ever since I found out that it was being made, since I had read the books and really liked them. So when me and my friend decided to go out one Wednesday and make use of her orange wednesday offer, I thought this would be the perfect film to see. We arrived for the 6.00 showing and sat down. Trailers were ...  Read the complete review

I came to Confessions of a Shopaholic with mixed feelings. On the one hand I was hoping for a fantastic, well acted, light chick-flick that I could lose myself in for a few hours and on the other hand I wasn't sure that Isla Fisher had enough depth to capture my interest in this leading role. So what's it all ...  Read the complete review

In these credit crunch times, one must see that whilst this is just another pretty brainless and silly romantic comedy, there is something else here - it's a film about overspending and controlling your spending, and whilst a wholly capitalist production, this film does actually have something of relevance to say. Unfortunately, it's mostly muted ...  Read the complete review

This review may contain spoilers... I had not read the book by Sophie Kinsella - or even heard of it - before I saw this film. I was trying to pick a film that would be easy to watch, funny and a bit girlie. I suppose on the surface this film does fit all the criteria and it is an ok film but it just wasn't really that entertaining. Isla ...  Read the complete review

She has dreams of working for a fashion magazine and finally has an interview lined up. She buys a green scarf to look the part (after borrowing $20 from some man at a hot dog stand!) and turns up to the ...  Read the complete review
