Confessions of a Shopaholic (DVD) Reviews

I have never read the books so didn't know what the film would be like. I thought it was a really great chick flick! There are some laugh out loud moments - especially where the shop dummies speak to Rebecca, played wonderfully by Isla Fisher, I am sure that many of the viewers could identify with the thought that 'it just spoke to me' when they ...  Read the complete review

Ever since the first Shopaholic book came out I have been a huge fun of the series and Sophie Kinsella's other works. Those who have read the books will immeadiately spot the differences in the translation from book to film. One, the film is set in NY not London as in the books. Luke Brandon works for a finance magazine as opposed to owning ...  Read the complete review

Now being a big fan of Sophie Kinsella's 'Shopaholic' series of books, I was interested to see that a film had been made. It was with mixed emotion that I received this news. Firstly, I wondered, would the film do the books any justice? Secondly, would I enjoy something that I already knew the story to? And thirdly, I was happy to see that one of ...  Read the complete review

i was dragged to this by girlfriend like a about four other men in a packed cinema. It's a proper chick flick but i think it could reflect any genders spending sprees i know i could empathise with the purchasing of new items although may be not a scarf which Isla fisher HAS to buy for a job interview although she has maxed out her credit cards ...  Read the complete review

I'm a fan of the shopaholic books and was looking forward to the film being out. The book is entitled The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic but for some reason they have called the film Confessions of a Shopaholic. There were quite a lot of deviations from the book - not least the fact the story is now set in New York rather than ...  Read the complete review

***Plot outline with some detail- no major spoliers*** Long gone are the days of Home and Away as Isla Fisher attempts to take over Hollywood with her slightly iffy American accent. Although Fisher has starred in films before (none of note) this is her first leading role and although it won't cause Reece Witherspoon any sleepless nights ...  Read the complete review

I went in to seeing this film slightly nervous. I am a big fan of Sophie Kinsella's books and I have all of the Shopaholic books and absolutely love them. I saw the advert and thought Oh No they have changed a lot of the story it won't be as good. I was quite surprised though and actually really enjoyed the film. The story of the film ...  Read the complete review

*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.

So I was very pleased when I heard in the autumn that the first ...  Read the complete review

I have read the books on which this film is based and while I would not say that I'm a big fan of them I was interested to see how it converted onto film and whether they could capture the rather woderful character of the subject matter in the book, namely Rebecca Bloomwood a confirmed shopaholic. I must say that Isla Fisher in the lead ...  Read the complete review
