In the glamorous world of New York City, Rebecca Bloomwood is a fun-loving girl who is really good at shopping--a little too good, perhaps. She dreams of working for her favorite fashion magazine, but can't quite get her foot in the door--until ironically, she snags a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine published by the same company. As her dreams are finally coming true, she goes to ever more hilarious and extreme efforts to keep her past from ruining her future.

Time Out

Making a shiny Hollywood film about the perils of shopping is like sending an alcoholic to buy wine for your party....

For me great, for my husband, well he confess he'd have rather shopped around for a different film..

PaulaWestwood from , 19th February, 2009

For me this was a lovely bit of fluff, a nonesense light rom-com that didnt try to be anything else,, and I thoroughly enjoyed it... but a warning if you want to watch this with your other half.... my husband described it as a fields of corn and dairy full of cheese movie that was a very poor Devil Wears Prada copy. And in a way I have to agree, this time our magazine employee is a shopaholic, but has very similar Devils Wears qualities. Definately a movie for the girls to enjoy and the boys to totally avoid... Much like shopping in real life really !

Confessions of A Shopaholic!

Sammmy from from London, 26th February, 2009

The movie is funny, quirky, directed by The Devil Wears Prada director, in fact this movie is what the Devil Wears Prada should of been (in terms of comic timing and deliverence)! Great one-liners, great romance, great affection for shopping, and is familiar to not just women but men too. Predictable ending, but hey, book lovers who have read this movie already know what to expect. Brilliant! Just what I needed after watching all the loved up couples around me just getting over their lovey-dovey Valentines Weekender the week before! Isla Fisher is great and has proved how far she has come. From a little actress in Home & Away to the lead gal in this movie. There was a plethora of familiar American actresses in this movie who they could of chose, but they chose her which I thought was absolutely the right choice. I've loved 2 of her movies now (Wedding Crashers). Her Fiance (Sasha Baron Cohen) comical streak has really rubbed off on Isla. Definitely will be buying this movie when it comes out (after it has been reduced of course or possibly a 'used' copy from Blockbusters!) - Sam.

I cant think of a better way to spend £8

SOY from , 26th March, 2009

well before i get started i will admit that i am not best placed to comment on chick flicks as i do not watch that many of them, but after being dragged into the cinema by my friend i thought that i just needed to comment on it.
first of all, useless and pointless plot line as the story really revolves around a wannabe journalist. i mean it just couldnt have been worse, it is as if someone had thought 'i know, lets make a film about shopping but make it more highbrow by including journalism' well epic FAIL there! turns out the plot is so shallow i could put a roof on it and make it into a nuclear bunker!
secondly, the length of the film almost killed me, 104 minutes of shopping and ponies and stickers and myspace.com! I think i have actually been to more interesting funerals!

stay tuned for more spiteful reviews!
