Confessions Of A Shopaholic

While watching this movie I thought I was watching myself for a while when i saw Rebecca Bloomwood(Isla Fisher) shopping all the luxuries of life using her set of credit cards , thankfully I am nowhere close to her and have no intentions to be ever..but saying that I won't deny I love to shop for every reason and season :-)
Confessions Of A Shopaholic is based on the books "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" by Sophie Kinsella. This movie revolves around the life of Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) who is a 25 year old who lives with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter) in Suze's flat (paying her friend rent that is well below market value), in a trendy part of town. Rebecca is struggling with her obsession towards shopping and the sudden collapse of her income source makes her unintentionally land a job writing for a financial magazine after a drunken letter-mailing mix-up. Ironically writing about the very consumer caution of which she herself has not abided, Rebecca's innovative comparisons and unconventional metaphors for economics grants her critical acclaim, public success, and the admiration of her supportive boss Luke. But as she draws closer to her ultimate goal of writing for renowned fashion magazine Alette, she questions her true ambitions and must determine if overcoming her "shopaholic" condition will bring her real happiness.The portrayal of personal bill collector by her as her ex boyfreind stalking her is hilarious.
I loved the spirit of Rebecca in this movie and coming up with a resolution to solve her problem was very inspiring and fun to watch. A real good fun and sincere movie.
