I get excited whenever a new Shopaholic book comes out, but then it's like, "How many times can this girl screw up her finances?"
Confessions of a Shopaholic
- Thread starter simplymenotte

I think I'm the only oddball here who didn't enjoy the books. They were a little too over-the-top for my liking, but I'd probably see the movie anyway (helps that Hugh Dancy is in it)
I always loved the beginning of the Shop-a-holic books but towards the middle, down to the end I found them to be a little predictable.
The best parts involve Becky getting into her financial messes; I love reading those scenerios (the author is brilliant orchestrating those scenes), however her solutions are a tad sappy.
Seriously! Just when you think she has learned her lesson, out comes the next book and her next financial slip-up! Oh well, I love these books!
I was surprised they picked Isla Fisher to play Becky. I agree with who said Emily Blunt would have been the better choice!
Isla is cute and all but I don´t understand the whole hype (as much as I don´t understand the hype with Kim Kardashian)...I think it´s because she is in a lifelong relationship with Borat dude?

I liked Isla Fisher in Wedding Crashers but this movie looks awful. But the only highlight of this movie was the Prince of Persia poster. Not that I'm excited about that movie either, but still. My relatives totally raved about this movie but it looks dull. I'll be skipping it. I might check out the book, though.
I haven't read any of the books, but I thought the movie was really cute fluff. I laughed so much while watching it and Isla is great in it. I like the OTT clothes, it works in the movie.
