But how can you advise people about debt when you’re up to your eyeballs in it?
When I first watched this film, I thought it was cute but pointless. It wasn’t until after the second go that it managed to get under my skin and into my collection. It’s a wonderfully cute and heart warming little story filled with amazing costumes, memorable characters, romance, and financial advice. I just love it.

Based on the book by Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of a Shopaholic was your classic, heart warming romantic comedy about learning lessons, overcoming obstacles, and paying dues.
One thing about the film that I particularly loved was the personification of the mannequins. Having them actually speaking to Rebecca and convincing her of the necessity of their products was really clever and really funny. It was a great way to bring an internal struggle to visual life. Loved it.
Isla Fisher stars as Rebecca Bloomwood and she was just gorgeous. She delivered a performance that was cute, creative, and she actually pulled off some of the bizarre fashions. Kudos.
Starring Hugh Dancy, Lesley Bibb, Joan Cusack, John Goodman, Kristen Scott Thomas, and John Lithgow, Confessions of a Shopaholic was a fresh, warm, and funny comedy that was filled with memorable characters, fantastic outfits, excuses, a funky soundtrack, and financial advice. I really do love it.
You speak Prada?
