Posted on Monday, June 1st, 2009 by LeahAs well as this being a film review I’m also going to compare it to the novel of the same name. This review WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS if you haven’t read the book OR seen the movie.
****WHAT THE FILM IS ABOUT*****
Based on the novel of the same name Confessions of a Shopaholic tells the story of Becky Bloomwood who is a college grad lands a job as a financial journalist in New York City to support where she nurtures her shopping addiction and falls for a wealthy entrepreneur.
*****WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT***** - See my review here!
The books synopsis says: Meet Rebecca Bloomwood. She’s a journalist. She spends her working life telling others how to manage their money. She spends her leisure time …shopping. Retail therapy is the answer to all her problems. She knows she should stop, but she can’t. She tries Cutting Back, she tries Making More Money. But neither seems to work. The stories she concocts become more and more fantastic as she tries to untangle her increasingly dire financial difficulties. Her only comfort is to buy herself something - just a little something …Can Becky ever escape from this dream world, find true love, and regain the use of her Switch card?
