Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

nomi995 I have just seen this movie a few days ago, but I had to turn it off at the half of the film... Howewer I like Isla Fisher, her character was incredibly annoying. Oh and the "unexpectable twists" in the movie... my god... she "accidentaly" found herself in a position, where she has to give financial advises, which is the opponent to her lifestyle and her first article was a big success, however she didn't know a single word according to that topic and when she slapped in the face that Finnish or Swedish (i don't really remember, some nordic national) guy, and "fortunately" it meant something good... Yes these cases were totally realistic, why not, they can happen in real life. So after those parts I turned the film off. Plus the main character was all the time giggling and cackling and overplayed her role such as her best friend. Needless to say, I don't recommend it.

dierregi What we have here is the modern fairy-tale of Rebecca (played by Isla Fisher, a dependable comic actress). Rebecca is a dizzy, selfish, irresponsible creature but people love her because of her bubbly personality and super-cute face.Rebecca is deep in debt because she buys too much stuff for herself, and when she gets fired she must accept a boring job in a financial magazine to keep her from bankruptcy She gets the job merely on the strength of her looks, because Luke, the guy who hires her, knows from the start that she is a liar.It is very clear that this story has nothing to do with real life, but another level of implausibility is added when we discover that Luke (played by Hugh Dancy) not only is the editor of the financial magazine, but also the heir of a rich family.Could this be another Cinderella-revisited? Yes and no, because Cinderella was a likable character. Rebecca, not so much. She lies to her parents, her friends and her employer, She is an addict in denial and totally unreliable. But still, that bubbly personality and perky figure will save the day for her.Once her lies are discovered, she manages to repay her debt by auctioning her wardrobe and, in a mean twist, repaying her debt in coins so as to annoy even more the bill collector. The collector was only doing his job and I believe all of us, in his place, would have been thoroughly annoyed by Rebecca's behavior.In the movie Rebecca is presented as the cute heroine, who not only save herself on her own, without borrowing from her parents or from her rich boyfriend, but also get offered the job of her dreams – at a Vogue-like magazine – only to turn it down, because she stands on higher grounds than advertising expensive stuff.That is the part that I found more ridiculous and offensive: the fact that a liar like Rebecca is painted as if she has "higher moral standard" than anybody around her… Oh, and she even gets the rich prince, at the end.

Confession of the shopaholic is a funny and romantic movie showing the addiction to shopping due to a past childhood experience. Confession of the shopaholic is for all ages and a great way to past the time. It was also exciting and cheerful.

vchimpanzee Hi, I'm Vchimpanzee, and I'm a shopaholic. I can't pass a pretty golf shirt with horizontal stripes without wanting to buy it. If I see Converse Chuck Taylors in a color I don't have, I must have them.Okay, seriously, I refuse to buy golf shirts with designer names because they cost too much. And I wait for sales. And I won't buy high-top Chuck Taylors, and they must be solid colors rather than a pattern. Though I did once buy a pair I liked two sizes too small because that's the biggest they had. I didn't know the store had a women's section ... well, you get the idea. But unlike Rebecca, I always pay off my credit cards each month. But I do sort of know how she feels. I have a bunch of shirts I haven't worn yet.I didn't know who played Rebecca (Amy Adams, maybe? Actually, no) but she was pretty and very appealing, and the manic narration at the beginning really made this feel like a quality production. It is a kind of predictable romantic comedy but it's the kind of movie I enjoy.There is physical comedy which is entertaining. But most of what makes this movie funny is the jams Rebecca must get herself out of. She's very good at what she does, even if she has to learn everything there is to know about finance. She's kind of like Ugly Betty in that she's in over her head but capable, and she's working for a pleasant man who isn't respected by his superiors but appears a likely romantic partner. And there is a villain in the background--the man charged with collecting $9000 of her $16,000 debt, the largest single debt on any one credit card. Her clever techniques to get rid of what she calls a stalker ex-boyfriend work for a while, but sooner or later you figure she'll have to pay the piper. And it may happen in the worst possible way.Rebecca has some important lessons to learn, but she may just do that. She won't get everything she wants, but there are choices to be made.Several supporting players add something to this movie. The CW timed the airing of this movie perfectly, and I have to figure ABC blew a golden opportunity--Rebecca's best friend is The Bitch in Apartment 23! I had the chance to see enough of her to know I expect to like her show. Wendie Malick also has a brief but effective role as the one person who may get Rebecca out of her jam. No, not necessarily that jam. And John Lithgow is good as always as one of the top bosses, whose reaction to Rebecca's efforts is surprisingly positive. I didn't recognize Leslie Bibb, my favorite of the Good Christian Bitches (and she's not one of the good ones, but rather is dragged to church), but she is quite pretty and a kind of empty-headed schemer. I think I'm correct she got the job Rebecca really wanted.John Goodman and Joan Cusack both do a good job as Rebecca's parents. They're appealing in the sense that they offer a nice contrast to, and wouldn't fit in with, that snooty world Rebecca found herself in, but they're real people who wouldn't appreciate being thought of as hicks. On the other hand, they're not treated as the kind of complicated characters you might find in an Oscar-caliber production.I was ready to say this is Golden Globe caliber, but maybe not. I still had fun.
