“Confessions of a Shopaholic,” based on “chick lit” novels by Shophie Kinsella, is a clever and witty romantic comedy that’s as entertaining as a shopping spree or a designer fashion show. Staring Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomfield and Hugh Dancy as Luke Brandon “Confessions of a Shopaholic” puts together an original cast to an unconventional, but hilarious plot. As a little girl raised by penny-pinching parents, Rebecca Bloomfield dreams of one day being able to buy anything she’d ever dream of with “magic cards.” Years later the fashionable Rebecca Bloomfield is a journalist in Manhattan who is addicted to shopping. She aspires to work at her favorite fashion magazine, “Alette.” Instead of getting her dream job at “Alette,” Becky lands a job at a finance magazine run by the same company. The editor Luke Brandon hires her to write a column giving a different perspective for financial advice. He wants her to put a twist on regular financial advice and put it in a form that the average person can understand. She takes the job in hopes of one day reaching her goal of working at “Alette.” The only problem is that she is in debt over her head and ironically must give people advice on saving money. Despite the popularity of her columns she gets deeper into debt and is incapable of confessing her shopping addiction which eventually causes her to be stalked by debt collectors. Through her struggles in debt she realizes she has feelings for Luke, her boss, who knows nothing about her debt crisis. Through Becky’s crisis and her secrets, she learns that she doesn’t need shopping anymore and she can resist the talking mannequins in the windows of designer stores. She doesn’t need bags full of new cashmere sweaters, high heels, scarves, and other meaningless things to be happy. Becky is inspired by her family, friends, and especially her father when he gives her hope saying, “Your mother and I think that if the American economy can be billions in debt and still survive, so can you.” She somehow finds herself back to the reality of not being able to have whatever she wants. It’s hard to believe that such a movie can have an actual moral but it truly shows that you don’t need designer clothes to be happy. Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy light up the screen in this feel good movie about materialism, love, and true happiness.
