Confessions of a Shopaholic

I ‘m not a great fan of chick flicks but I had to see Confessions of a Shopaholic – for research purposes, you understand. Some of it was clearly true-to-life: the suave and sophisticated editor of a financial magazine who was the lead male character. But the film had a disappointingly predictable anti-consumerist message. When the debt-ridden female lead of the film finally escaped her fixation with shopping and luxury brands she finally had the time to lead a fulfilling life.

And it wasn’t nearly as funny as Legally Blonde.
