Comedy: Confessions of a Shopaholic

Starring: Sam Mendes, Hugh Dancy, Isla Fisher, Joan Cusack, Krysten Ritter

Rating:
6/10

Synopsis:
The story is based on the popular series of chick-lit novels by Sophie Kinsella and stars Isla Fisher as ditzy New York singleton Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher), who shares a flat with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter) and dreams of a job on a fashion magazine. Instead, she winds up as a journalist for a 'financial' magazine run by handsome editor Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy), where she quickly captures the public's imagination as a columnist know as The Girl With The Green Scarf, despite knowing next to nothing about finance.

Meanwhile, Rebecca also has to deal with a massive shopping addiction, a mountain of unpaid bills and the attentions of a pushy debt collector (Robert Tanton as Derek Smeath), while hoping that no one at work uncovers the hypocrisy of a debt-laden shopaholic giving financial advice.....

Do you want to know if Rebecca is with Luke at the end of the show? Find it out then....
