September 24, 2011Nothing of great merit but still an enjoyable feel good comedy that comes at being a shopaholic from a different angle. Entertaining, predictable and attempts to be heartfelt, this film follows the same scripture as almost every other young romantic comedy. Peppered with some big... read more

September 13, 2011CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC was like a chick flick gone terrible. I can admit that I do enjoy some chick flicks (such as SWEET HOME ALABAMA and JUST GO WITH IT), but this was one of those, "OMG! It's SHOPPING day! We gotta get down and PARTY girls! Let's go to the MALL!"-type... read more

June 23, 2011Really bad. Was expecting much better than this. It has it's moments but other than that, not really that good and the main actor isn't all that attractive and his acting is terrible.

November 22, 2010An ok comedy film, probably enjoyed more by girls with a passion for shopping. It has some funny moments but it was far from memorable to be honest.

August 16, 2010It is all you can expect from a movie like this. Cute and mildly entertaining.

August 9, 2010A good and entertaining movie...!! Sophie Kinsella really made a great book about a shopaholic with her obsession about shopping and finding fortune in her life... Maybe this movie wasn't as good as 'Sex & The City' or 'The Devil Wears Prada', but I thought this movie was better ... read more

August 2, 2010This movie is kind of a fake it till you make it and put it all on plastic. I loved every darling, cute, clever, funny, romantic part of it.

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. Full Review

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
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. Full Review

Christopher Orr, New Republic
[T]his adaptation is really just about buying the 'brand,' and--like the retailers in the film--selling America something it already had. Full Review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
The production renders totally irrelevant all hopes for a well-made movie. It's one of those ragged, pandemonious studio comedies that hammers at plot points in every contrived scene. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Not only is it an unfunny movie shrilly told, it probably is the most ill-timed and appallingly insulting movie in recent memory. Full Review

It's very hard to watch a wild-eyed woman engage in an orgy of avarice using a fan of maxed-out cards when so many have lost so much - even if there is a message within the madness, that fiscal respon... Full Review

Could there be a worse time to revisit the indulgences of the '00s? Full Review

Note to would-be financial journalists: No one cares about your personal musings. Not even at Portfolio. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Here we are, only nine months after the Sex and the City movie, and an obsessive spender with an overstuffed closet -and credit card bills to match- no longer seems quite so cute. Full Review
