Confessions of a Shopaholic - Movie Review

This movie is based on the very popular book, also called - "Confessions of a Shopaholic".

Rebecca Bloomwood is an adorable girl, living in New York, who has one tiny problem that has quickly gotten out of control -- she is addicted to shopping, and is being stalked by one very persistent debt collector. She currently works as a journalist for a gardening magazine, but longs to land a job with a top fashion magazine. Meanwhile, through a little bit of her own creativity, she is hired by this adorable guy who is the editor of a financial magazine. Although, she considers this job a stepping-stone to bigger things.

Rebecca ends up writing an article about the pitfalls of shopping, as it relates to finances - and it is a huge hit. Literally overnight, she becomes all the rage in the industry. However, no one except for her loyal room mate knows that she is in major debt, herself.

As Rebecca rises to the top of the finance industry, her secret debt problems are about to completely unravel - and they do. She risks losing everything, including her romance with the editor of her magazine, and her opportunity to land that fashion magazine job, that she desperately wants.

When everything finally hits the fan, and she is exposed to everyone around her - Rebecca is forced to look at her life, and make some very hard decisions about what is most important in life.

I really enjoyed this movie on many levels. What I most appreciated, is the fact that although the world of fashion and shopping were glamorized as we often see in our own world - we are also taken on a journey of personal discovery, with Ms. Bloomwood.

"Confessions of a Shopaholic" is a delightful movie, that is very appropriate for young girls. It is rated PG, and I would highly recommend seeing it.

I really like movies where we can see ourselves, and laugh -- and then have the ability to put things into proper perspective. So many movies today, emphasize among other things, a lack of values and send so many wrong messages. "Confessions of a Shopaholic" is one of the few movies out there, that helps us to see things, as they really are...

If you've seen the movie, I would love to hear what you thought about it?
