To be honest, I really felt that this film did a disservice to the label 'chick flick.' Unfortunately, obvious comparisons to this film are with 'Sex and the City', and whilst that movie was by no means a masterpiece (particularly in relation to the high quality writng that was present in the tv show), it was 10 times better thna this film ever ...  Read the complete review

I watched this on a 7 hour plane journey and it did provide some much needed comic relief. If you're a girl who likes to shop, like me, you will immediately identitfy with Isla, the way she describes the whole experience of shopping, the need to shop, the buzz and the following 'come down' so to speak has it down to a tee. If you ...  Read the complete review

Sophie Kinsella being one of my all time favourite authors meant that i was dying to see this film when i heard it was being made! Going along to the cinema on that thursday night, i could feel the excitement mounting! Unfortunately, the film does not do the book any justice! Isla Fischer cast as Rebecca Bloomwood was in my opinion a very big ...  Read the complete review

This film is the perfect slap in to reality if you are really a shopaholic! It is a fun, lighthearted film about a naive girl who runs up a huge credit card debt and decides to attempt to pay this off by ironically going to work for a savings magazine! The underlying story is your typical girl meets boy, they fall in love and live ...  Read the complete review

As well as this being a film review I'm also going to compare it to the novel of the same name. This review WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK OR SEEN THE MOVIE! ****WHAT THE FILM IS ABOUT***** Based on the novel of the same name Confessions of a Shopaholic tells the story of Becky Bloomwood who is a college ...  Read the complete review

I haven't read the Shopaholic books so I can't compare as to whether the film sticks firmly to the original format or not. Before watching, I thought this film could have the potential to be a fairly fun rom-com especially with Isla Fisher as lead. The movie centres around Rebecca Bloomward (Fisher), a woman in her mid twenties who is ...  Read the complete review

this film is based on the bestselling series of stories about a shopaholic called rebecca bloomward by sophie kinsella. this is a typical girls film which is about shopping and the state a woman can get into over the perfect transaction of buying a product and getting carried away with a credit card, truely realistic but as exagerated too. it ...  Read the complete review

As someone who is a massive fan of the "shopaholic" book series I was dubious as to whether I would enjoy this film or not. It follows the character of Becky Bloomwood (Fisher), a girl addicted to shopping with credit card bills as long as your arm. She ends up accidentally getting a job writing for a financial magazine giving ...  Read the complete review

Keeping the book aside from the film as the two are completly different I absolutley loved this. Isla Fisher perfectly portrays the crazy world of a shopaholic as one myself I laughed out loud at the cringe worthy predicaments she gets herself into. It's a good little plot and I like the way it's been adapted to America from the book ...  Read the complete review

Oh, everything is just so predictable. You could probably recite the entire script just by looking at what the characters are doing. The female population will most definitely enjoy the expensively dressed leading gal, her ridiculous collection of seemingly pointless clothes/bags/jewellery/etc... as well as her love interest. Isla Fisher also ...  Read the complete review

I watched this film after being a huge fan of the book series and although the film wasn't as the book appeared in my minds eye, it was infact a funny, light and entertaining film. Isla Fisher stars as a 20 something girl obsessed with the 3 S's, shopping, sales and shoes. Any girl of a similar mindset would love this movie. I went with my ...  Read the complete review

Having read all the books in this highly commercial and amusing series, I was delighted to see that it was being adapted into a film. However, upon seeing it I discovered that the film veered quite significantly from the original concept. However, it was still rather entertaining, although, without a doubt, cheesy and cliched. An enjoyable film ...  Read the complete review

Having read all of Sophie Kinsella's novels, I was really looking forward to this movie, but like so many other adaptations, this just fell short of my expectations. Sure it was funny, but it wasn't laugh out loud funny, and although it's been many years since I read the novel, I remember having real empathy with the main character, and the film ...  Read the complete review

I went to see this at the cinema when it first came out, me and my girlie friends were so excited and the film did not disappoint - we loved it!Isla Fisher is brilliant in it and fits the role so well, petite cute and a little ditsy. You couldn't help but like her from the start and relate to her ever growing wardrobe and credit card bills!Such a ...  Read the complete review

If I have to be honest, my favourite film genre if it can be considered one is chick flicks. I love a film which has a bit of a love story in it but is a feel good film. There have been some out already this year but one that I'd been looking forward to ever since I had seen the trailer is 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'. The film is based on the ...  Read the complete review

Last night saw me at the cinema with some friends watching 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' which as it's not yet out on DVD I will be reviewing as a 'film only'. It's a very light hearted but enjoyable film based on the book by Sophie Kinsella. I suppose that as that book would be classed as chick lit this film would have to be classed as 'chick ...  Read the complete review
