My rating may be somewhat unfair, since I slept through a substantial portion of the film. Still, anything holding my interest so weakly that I cannot stay awake won't get much of a score from me.

Isla Fisher puts on her best effort to be cute and hallucinates mannequins coming to life to sell overpriced scarves within a candy coated world of convenient opportunities and decadence. Then out of nowhere John Goodman pops up and makes one wish he had been given a larger role.

I love these books, and yes, a lot is left out (& semi-combined), but the essentials are there. IMO Fischer captured Becky well! She managed the "Becky-that's-so-stupid-yet-you're-still-so-nice" A major difference for me was Luke. I (sadly) was never a big fan of Luke in the book, so, IMO, this was a good difference! I've been a long time fan of the brilliant (& lovely!) Dancy, & thought he was just as brilliant (& yes, lovely) as Luke! A fun, funny, feel-good movie, & I highly recommended it!

Your standard generic chick flick, but for some reason I quite enjoyed it. Nothing about it is particularly worthy of note or merit, and it is certainly not unique or original in any way...but it has some okay characters, it has some pretty funny scenes, and it is sweet. I'm usually overly harsh to this kind of film, so I'm surprising myself here, too. Maybe Isla Fischer just reminds me a hell of a lot of Amy Adams, who is really hot. Must be that.

While it's not original or unique, it does provide some solid laughs and great on screen eye candy in the form of Mr. Dancy and oodles of designer goods.

Isla Fisher looks great, the movie is so-so. It's one of those movies where the main character should have an endearing, yet annoying quality that moved the plot along. Unfortunately, this character KEEPS doing the same stupid crap that keeps getting her in trouble, over and over again. It ends up being a cute movie, but it's definitely a chick flick.

Great premise, but unfortunately suffers from a weak script. That being said, the movie is worth watching just to see Isla Fisher command the screen. Her comedic timing is nearly perfection, and I look forward to seeing her in the future.

In a time of serious financial troubles in the world one movie comes along to teach us the error of our ways...oh wow I can't do this. The movie was awful, completely cliche in about every way, and according to my wife detracts from the book so much it doesn't even make a fitting adaptation. From me to the guys- C'mon you know what your getting into you've seen this movie 100 times. From my wife to the girls who've read the book- The liberties taken with the original story will piss you off.

Though there are a handful of laughs, there are far too many cringe inducing moments in "Confessions of a Shopaholic". Lines like "You speak Prada" are shot off with no sense of shame. This film is mainly about materialism as a religion, love secondly. How is $16,000 debt enough to throw her life into turmoil? It's uncomfortable, yes, but not astronomical. The movie is very by the numbers, so much so that Rebecca is a magazine writer. Who writes for magazines anymore? No wonder she's broke.

Judging from the exterior shots, NYC streets were unforgivably closed down 4 this Hannah Montana-level story - ostensibly targeted towards adult females. The heroine is - also ostensibly - in her 20's but there is NO difference between her behavior & that of a movie teen. She leads an essentially consequence-free life where lessons r learned through pratfalls, blaring dance pop & wacky hijinks. Positives? It made me see the enormous similarity between high fashion & comic book villain wardrobe.

Idiotic movie about a moron who likes to shop. The main character is about as lovable as a razor blade. I liked the ending best of all, it must be seen to be believed. Better yet, never ever see it. Bad even for a generic romcom.

People aren't giving this movie nearly enough credit. This movie so surprisingly avoids cliches (though the ending was obvious from the get-go) that it's worth at least one watch. Terrible humor aside, there were some great moments and some tension that was actually pretty tangible.

Such a delight! I loved it! :-) Great adaptation of a book that would, I thought, be quite a challenge to make into a movie. Ilsa Fisher portrays Becky with perfection and Hugh Dancy makes a swoon-worthy, charming and thoughtful Luke Brandon.

Well I never ever enjoyed going shopping before, and this movie didn't change my opinion too much. I would like to hope the book was better then the movie because if it wasn't then it should be burned. I was pleasantly surprised to see Johnny Goodman in this. He at least made me laugh with his old school Roseanne humor as Fisher's sorta crazy (but really not that crazy once you get to know him) dad. Too bad they didn't focus more on him. $200 for a green scarf? Really?

Doesn't miss an opportunity to promote anything, be it Gucci, Nokia or Bruckheimer's CSI and Prince of Persia. Being a Finn, I was naturally pleased with the amount of Finland-related gags. Still the constant yelling and the disturbingly fast pace make me want to vomit.

Has more than a few laughs although this is just another movie in the increasing list of movies trying to be the Devil Wears Prada which was better than this movie could ever hope to be. For a chick flick you could do a whole hell of a lot worse though.
