Confessions of a Shopaholic

“Black gown sounds best for the party. All I need to shop for is matching shoes. There is a sale in Her Corner store, would find the perfect bag there. Oh my god, I do not have the right accessories. Ok, all I need to do is swipe each of my credit cards for 10 dollars each and avoid the calls from the debt collector and lie to my best friend and lie to the love of my life and I am all set. Oh yes….I need the green scarf for the gown. It’s a desperate urgent need.”

This says it all. The movie totally revolves around Rebecca Bloomwood, the Shopaholic struggling with her temptations to shop and how it makes her lose all that’s important to her. The story starts off with her shopping, shopping and more shopping. She leads a double life. On one hand she writes on money, investment advice, finances and all that. On the other hand her shopping bags keep piling up and so do the bills. And before she realizes she has created a credit monster that threatens to destroy every beautiful thing in her life. Then starts a roller coaster, funny yet emotional, ride as Rebecca realizes she has to take control of her life and reclaim all the things that mattered to her.

Like all lovely girlie movies this one has a happy ending too. What really makes one enjoy the movie is….there is an awesome collection of clothes, bags and shoes shown. The guy Luke Brandon is reaaally cute, honest and integrated. The movie has its share of funny moments. And most of all ‘There is a little bit of her in every girl.’
