Confessions of a Shopaholic was published in 2000 as a book and as a movie in 2008. Confessions of a Shopaholic is created by Sophie Kinsella and the movie is directed by P. J. Hogan. The movie tells about Rebecca Bloomwood (played by Isla Fisher) who is journalist. Rebecca loves fashion and she is shopaholic with a big credit debt. Her dream is to be journalist of high fashion magazine but she ends up being journalist in finance magazine, which she didn’t want. Rebecca Bloomwood is kind a silly, spontaneous and she is passionate about shopping clothes. The finance magazine’s name is Successful Saving and it’s run by Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy). Luke seems to be workaholic . Rebecca Bloomwood and Luke Brandon fall in love, which is quite predictable but it brings something romantic to the movie.
Usually Finland isn’t mentioned in movies but in this one it was mentioned many times because Rebecca’s many excuses involves Finland and she said the reason is that no one checks up on Finland, for example she told in her CV that she can speak finnish fluently,but she really can’t. In the movie there is also some finnish blood, Tuomas Hiltunen who acts as Janne Virtanen from Nokia gets to talk with Rebecca.
I recommend the movie for those who likes girly movies and it is great movie to watch with friends. It’s very funny and there’s a lot of shopping of fancy clothes. I also like the movie because there is nothing too serious or dramatic scene. So the movie is like ”easy” to watch and plot was pretty simply; there was only few turning points and the turning points were in the end . Confessions of a Shopaholic was great but I think it would have been better if there was some little bit more dramatic scene but it is comedy so it doesn’t need it.
