Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by the man who gave you Muriel's Wedding and co-penned by Tim Firth (Kinky Boots, Calendar Girls and erm, G-Force), as Rom-coms go, this is another disappointing offering with a lacklustre cast that has no chemistry, whatsoever. The plot is similar to those films where a young upstart is hired for a fashion magazine and has to impress their boss and is The Devil Wears Prada meets Legally Blonde meets Ugly Betty. Confessions of a Shopaholic is based on a series of books, & like most Rom-coms, it commits a sin of being incredibly bland, with not one actor who could bring that IT factor the film needed. The casting features John Lithgow, Joan Cusack, John Goodman, whilst Isla Fisher lacks a romantic bone in her body to pass off as a so-called loser-in-love, who has a crush on her boss played by Brit, Hugh Dancy. The motion picture soundtrack featuring Lady Gaga, Kat DeLuna and The Pussycat Dolls is also to some people's taste, yet I would listen to that than watch this again.
Is It Worth Watching?
Only if you love your rom-coms
