2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Luxurious I actually tried hard to like this movie, I really did. The thing is, RomComs are generally bad with a few gems. It's super weird since Romance by itself is very good, and Comedy by itself is really good. For some reason, they just can't mesh well together. This is because bad RomComs are either super annoying, or they go from RomCom to a torture porn fest. It's actually unsettling. Without further ado, let's jump into this review.Rebecca is the opposite of Andy from The Devil Wears Prada. She is a girl, who has a passion for fashion, working at some random gardening place with a dream of working for this huge fashion magazine. Unfortunately her job goes to Alicia, and she has to settle for a job at a financial magazine (under the umbrella as her favorite magazine if I remember correctly). The thing is, her job is writing a column about giving people financial advise when she's a shopaholic that's thousands of dollars into debt because of her habit. This movie then turns into a torture porn that doesn't make any sense:Why does Alicia hate her so much? They hardly even met, and as far as Alicia goes, Rebecca is Luke's co-worker. Despite all of that, she literally got pleasure from seeing Rebecca get embarrassed at the event. It's not even logical. Derek, the credit card guy, is being a creepy stalker for no reason what so ever. Why harass her? Doesn't he have a life or any other victims to hunt down? The most disgusting scene was when Derek stalked Rebecca on her show and asked her those humiliating questions about debt on national television. This is when RomComs go from slapstick humor, to full on torture. Nothing is funny about a girl being torn to shreds on national television and having to fight back tears. Take in mind that the only crime in this movie that Rebecca has done is shop excessively and lied, yet she gets more torture than a girl who makes fun of other girls and her own career and a girl that played puppet master to some random girl she just met just to get an ego boost. I'm done.

lisee_lulu I saw this movie in the cinema and it's money I wish I'd saved. It's only now, nearly six years later that I can bring myself to write a review on this shambles of a movie. Firstly let me make one thing clear, if you've never read the Shopaholic books you might enjoy this movie. If you watch it with no prior knowledge of the books it might be enjoyable. I couldn't tell you because I had read every book up to that point. So when I saw the movie I almost cried...and not by how amazing it was. I almost cried because of how insulting it was to the books. The casting was terrible. Not a single actor portrayed the characters properly and the movie left out so many things. It might as well have been a stand alone movie because it was nothing like the book at all. For those who love the Shopaholic books, keep clear of this movie. It will haunt you forever.

Cindy Yaman This is the most under-rated rom-com in the history of cinema! All the more surprising given the sparkling script and a superb supporting cast (especially the mannequins).The director deftly steered the audience to cheer the heroine all the way to the tills. It helps that Isla Fisher has such expressive naivety and impeccable comic timing. Her internal dialogues reflect the lies we tell ourselves, when we become totally "consumed" by our very own grand obsession.Whether we are shopaholics, chocoholics, or plain old alcoholics, the endorphins are released in exactly the same way. And the guilt trip afterwards slowly eats away at our self-esteem, and the drug treadmill cries out for another "high" to compensate. Of course, in calmer moments of sanity, we solemnly swear true repentance. Ultimately, our heroine's attempts at 'redemption' reflects the human fragility of impulsively doing the opposite of the promises we make to ourselves.Hugh Dancy charms us with his take on life: "Cost and worth are very different things". And I must confess that I am a movie-holic, but this film has definitely worth been watching (again).

pickardh The main character Rebecca proved to be one of those people most despise. Selfish, self absorbed, annoying, inconsiderate, wasteful and idiotic. She lies and doesn't apply herself to her work...yet is in debt. So yes that is just the lead character lets get into it a bit more...boring, irritating and dull. I honestly could not see the funny side to the movie, i picked up on Rebecca's obviously forced clumsiness though. Okay so yeah this film is meant to be a bit of lighthearted fun but all i saw was a spoilt brat after a wealthy entrepreneur. I think you get the idea, i hate the film...well the half i watched. I think i'll stick to 'A Clockwork Orange' 'Shawshank redemption' and 'The Butterfly Effect'.
