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.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
[T]his adaptation is really just about buying the 'brand,' and--like the retailers in the film--selling America something it already had.

rotten:
Isla Fisher is such a bundle of comic energy that watching her spin her wheels in the aggressively unfunny Confessions of a Shopaholic counts as cruel and unusual punishment -- for her as well as for us.

rotten:
This is a movie that is warning us against the dangers of being slaves to labels while at the same time celebrating those same designer brands.

Here [Fisher] is giving it everything she's got and it's just not enough.

If you want gritty realism, see an arthouse movie. Or shop in a pound store. As journalist Rebecca, Isla Fisher is silly and adorable - just like this adaptation of Sophie Kinsella's novel.
