Movie #217 "Confessions of a Shopaholic" is one of few romantic comedies that totally misses its mark to me. I hated it. Not much that redeems it --- the dialogue is inane, the characters are unlovable and they lack charm, and the plot is stupid --- yes, it passed the stupid line and in about only 15 minutes or less of viewing. I had just told someone yesterday that I couldn't remember a romantic comedy that I didn't like, but then this shows up!! And I was disappointed because there are so many big names in here: Joan Cusack, john Goodman, Christine Ebersole, and esp. Hugh Dancy --- so disappointing (had they really read the script before they signed on???) . Don't waste your time. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

With dreams of writing for a top fashion glossy, shopping addict Rebecca (Isla Fisher) begins working for a financial magazine pushed by the same publisher. But as her career skyrockets, she struggles to pay off overwhelming bills -- and manage her love life. Joan Cusack, John Goodman and Krysten Ritter co-star in this glittery rom-com based on the best-selling series of Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella.
