2.0 out of 5 stars
brutal script,
By
This review is from: Confessions of a Shopaholic (DVD)
This movie should have worked but the writing was so lame it just failed on so many levels. Given the stellar supporting cast (John Lithgow, SNL's Fred Armisen, John Goodman, Joan Cusack, Airplane's Julie Hagerty and even the usually mannish Kristin Scott Thomas), even they cannot save this disaster.One great failing is the lead male role as Hugh Dancy just has no screen appeal at all. He just seems "there"--that's all. There's no sense of comedic timing or even of how to play a romantic lead. Isla Fisher is her usual effervescent self but maybe she has just rehashed that persona once too much. Her BFF in the movie, Krysten Ritter, just seems like a poor woman's Anne Hathaway. Also, this DVD version gives you only deleted scenes and extremely boring unfunny outtakes. Not that I was expecting much from a "so what!?" movie.

I'd Rate It Zero If I Could,

This review is from: Confessions of a Shopaholic (DVD)
I was pretty excited when I found out they had made a movie out of the series, and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I never should have. They changed everything about the story!!! Luke has no english accent and neither does Rebecca, Tarquin is quite attractive here (unlike Rebecca described him), Suze is a brunette and really doesn't look like I would have pictured her (she has more of a rock'n'roll kind of look), and basically everything is completely upside down. I don't know why they decided to change the content this way. Besides that, it just wasn't good. Didn't keep my attention. The biggest dissapointment. Plus, I like Isla Fisher in her movies, but she just doesn't look the part, to start. She's too peppy to play Miss. Bloomwood.

She's No Reece Witherspoon,
By athena910 (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Confessions of a Shopaholic (DVD)
I really wish this movie had been made with Reece Witherspoon! It looks like the director wished that too, as there are so many scenes that try to be reminiscent of the Legally Blonde movies. Unfortunately, it just comes across as slapstick and dumb. It's a mildly amusing but largely unmemorable effort, and a waste of the talents of some good actors. I could hardly wait for it to come to its predictable end.
