Shallow, Silly, but Makes Laugh
Sep 30, 2009
Claudio Carvalho - imdb.com
In New York, the journalist and compulsive liar Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is an addicted consumer that can not resist shopping fashionable clothes and outfits in fancy shops and has several unplayable debts with the credit cards. She dreams on working... Full review
Yeah, it really did feel like it was that long. I kept squirming in my seat and nodding off. I kept checking the time on my DVD player and kept sighing in disbelief. For starters, this film is just plain boring.... Full review
Horrid, not funny in the least, vapid pap

Niklas Pivic - imdb.com
Bill Hicks airs this best: "Bill's review: piece of sit." Straight up! This film is a clown-school reject, a copy of "Sex And The City" mixed with "The Devil Wears Prada", albeit with no allure whatsoever. Plot: an airhead who shops... Full review
I love a good chick flick - but that was just painful

Peter Sebastian K - imdb.com
Let me start off by saying that I'm not your typical macho male who hates everything that is even remotely resembling to a chick flick. I like a good chick flick - if it's good. Most of them are. Some are... Full review
Becky Bloomwood's Alright with Me

zeedunn - imdb.com
I have been a longtime fan of the Sophie Kinsella Shopaholic books, which feature the lovable but compulsive Becky Bloomwood. So I wasn't sure what to expect out of the movie version. Rebecca Bloomwood is a lovely redheaded young woman who... Full review

I confess. I fell for the Shopaholic. Isla Fisher is charming, funny, adorably goofy yet undeniably attractive. You can't help but notice her uncanny resemblance to Enchanted's Amy Adams, which is not a bad thing at all, yet she still maintains... Full review
In times of money madness, its shopping time
Mar 03, 2009
Stampsfightclub - imdb.com
Shopaholic Rebecca Bloomwood (Fisher) looks to settle in at a money magazine as her shopping bills pile up. After some charmingly weird performances in Wedding Crashers, Definitely, Maybe and Wedding Daze, Isla Fisher secures her first major lead role as cooky... Full review
I have to give credit where credit is due; "Confessions of a Shopaholic" does have some engaging moments of comedic credibility. But unfortunately not enough to provide the film with a high interest rate. "Confessions of a Shopaholic" stars the perky... Full review
More Than I Expected

This movie was not what I expected from the previews. I expected a person who couldn't control her shopping instincts without a story line. This movie had a very good story line and reaches all of us in one way or... Full review
Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a journalist with aspirations to work for Alette magazine. When her current job is lost when her company goes bankrupt, Rebecca is devastated to find she is $9000+ in debt. She, ironically, becomes a financial adviser... Full review

The film is extremely predictable as well.....Confessions of a Shopaholic" isn't the funniest film.....well, which perhaps may be why they overdid the physical comedy;....she makes this film far more enjoyable than it seems like it would be.....Although, it's a light, foolish film, it has a heart in the end..... ...

Urban Cinefile
but here, humour is flung around carelessly without any semblance of pathos, characters fail to be grounded in reality, and performances are overblown.....Fisher is appealing but never reaches the heights she did in The Wedding Crashers, and often overplays the part.....Direction is partly to blame as most of the characters suffer from the same ailment..... ...

For a cute romantic comedy about a gal who loves to shop, it was great.....Isla Fisher is absolutely adorable as our Rebecca..... ... Full Review

Cinema Blend
The script is the biggest problem with the entire film, well, that....This movie is clearly supposed to be good clean fun.....Fisher jumps right in to the crazy physical comedy demanded by the script.....The scene is actually fairly cute, but the pants are heinous.....All in all, the scenes just reminded me of the torturous nature of the film..... ...

her paltry writer's pay doesn't match her expensive tastes.....Lame bloopers and a cheesy music video are the token extras..... ... Full Review
