"You know that thing when you see someone cute and he smiles and your heart kind of goes like warm butter sliding down hot toast? Well that's what it's like when I see a store. Only it's better."
-When Rebecca Bloomwood, the main character in "Confessions of a Shopaholic", said that statement, it was nice to know that I wasn't alone. At first glance of the movie trailer, it was like a sweet sale item that compelled me by its enticing, flavorful, delectable treat that I wanted a bite out of because I, too, am a shopaholic.
“Confessions of a Shopaholic” is like a mannequin dressed up in a Valentino dress, accented with a Chanel Belt, standing tall with Gucci boots, and a Ferragamo bag to attract you into stepping into the store. Isla Fisher played her character, Rebecca Bloomwood, so well and she executed her physical comedy scenes quite rollicking. Rebecca Bloomwood is a journalist who's an impulse buyer that faces a huge debt because of her compulsive shopping. I was amused by the hilariousness of the movie all throughout.
From the Christian Louboutin slingbacks, Mark Jacobs jacket, Zac Posen dress, a Miu Miu skirt, and Gucci bag, I give two thumbs up for Patricia Fields! Once again, the designer for "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Sex and the City" movie successfully enveloped the entire movie with glamorous, eye candy, high fashion clothes and accessories in the dull, gray-ish New York City. Rebecca Bloomwood was clothed with bright, attractive colors that showed her vivacious personality.
Is there love in store for Rebecca Bloomwood? She is being linked with a business journalist, Luke Brandon. The Armani and the Prada suave of Hugh Dancy's character, Luke Brandon, seems to lure Rebecca Bloomwood into him.
Ironic isn't it, to have a movie like this in this time of economy recession. Despite the staggering credit card debts by reckless shopping, Sophie Kinsella's "Confessions of a Shopaholic" sashays its way down the catwalk to strike a pose and kill the lights!
