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.

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Here [Fisher] is giving it everything she's got and it's just not enough.
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
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.
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
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.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Rotten
[T]his adaptation is really just about buying the 'brand,' and--like the retailers in the film--selling America something it already had.
Christopher Orr, The New Republic
