Tied to every woman's worse nightmare/joy (take your pick) Confessions of a Shopaholic brings to film Sophie Kinsella's wildly popular series of books about one Rebecca Bloomwood's (Isla Fisher) battle with shopping addiction on a grand scale. Frankly, this reviewer was not expecting much as the dvd slid into the machine, but in the hands of director PJ Hogan and with Kristen Scott Thomas (as Alette Naylor), John Lithgow (as Edgar West), Joan Cusak, and John Goodman all in the mix, the film works marvellously. The plot moves along as smartly as the fashionistas and Rebecca is able to come to terms with her addiction in a way that is both satisfying, funny and utterly endearing. Well worth a rent on a Sunday night.
My rating 7 out of 10.
