Confessions of a Shopaholic – The Movie

I saw the movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic” today. Went to Sunway Pyramid for my of day off with a friend. The plot of the story in the movie was different from the book. Some characters were also mixed up… like Tarkie was Suze’s fiance in the movie but he was Suze’s cousin who’s got a crush on Rebecca Blomwood in the book.

Luke Brandon was Becca’s boss in the movie but he wasn’t in the book. Becca’s boss at Successful Saving was Phil. Derek Smeath didn’t humiliate Becca in public in the book. But I like her tag as a Girl in a Green Scarf in the movie. The irony of the story was that … she was a financial consultant journalist and yet she had big financial problems herself. But that’s the point of the story, wasn’t it?

In the book, her appearance in the “Morning Coffee” was a hit. She was humiliated by Derek Smeath in the book.

I enjoyed the movie more than I enjoyed the book. It was so hilarious in the book as well… but I laughed my head off watching the movie.

Confessions of a Shopaholic was acted by Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood and Hugh Dancy as Luke Brandon.

Isla Fisher was a great actor. I loved her acting here… like a real bewildered girl trying to avoid her financial problems.

A must see movie for those who are… well, Shopaholic.
