Confessions of a Shopaholic

The film serves as a defense of beauty in the face of moralism, a theme that can never go stale.

Fisher is a likeable star with a knack for slapstick.

It's hardly suspenseful stuff, but the sassy New-York-shopper angle should keep Sex And The City fans happy without patronising them quite so cynically.

It's by-the-numbers stuff, but all so silly and goofy you can't take offence.

This sickening ode to consumerist greed comes just in time for the recession.

A cheap'n'cheerless Legally Blonde meets The Devil Wears Prada knock-off, this raises the odd girlie giggle but mainly made me want to claw my own face off.

Maybe the movie is a cautionary tale intended to show how we don’t need to spend to be happy. Maybe, but I doubt it, since several scenes describe the ecstasy of shopping and the allure of name brands.

this simple rom-com actually delivers the goods in terms of a positive message for young people that acknowledges the sugar-rush of comfort-shopping

This one's smarter than your average fluffy rom-com but still pretty by-the-numbers fluff all the same.

The fish-out-of-water story seems to keep popping up in every single romantic comedy of late, and this one is no exception.
