Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)


  In New York, the journalist and compulsive liar Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is an addicted consumer. She cannot resist shopping fashionable clothes and outfits in fancy shops. And has several unplayable debts with the credit cards. She dreams on working in the fashion magazine Alette owned by the sophisticated Alette Naylor (Kristin Scott Thomas), but she does not succeed in her intent. When Becky loses her job, she drinks a lot with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter) and sends an offensive letter to the editor Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy) from the financial magazine "Successful Saving".  And an article to Alette to show her potential. However, she unintentionally switches the correspondences in the mailbox. And Luke hires her to write a column called "The Girl in the Green Scarf" in his magazine. Using a simple language and metaphors that could be easily understood by common people. Meanwhile the debt collector Derek Smeath (Robert Stanton) is chasing Becky. And she is avoiding him everywhere, telling that he is an ex-boyfriend that is stalking her. When her column becomes a success, Becky is invited to participate in a talk show. And finally Luke and she fall in love for each other. However, her lies and debts put her in a difficult situation with her audience, Suze and Luke.
  Actually, I really expected about this movie. Because of also I’m a shopaholic. This movie makes me disappointed. They have boring storyline, and they were deal with old-fashioned clothes and brands. But main actor and actress were good. I think this movie have to change film's name. Names that focus on love story are better than now. :p
I give this movie ★★☆☆☆
