Confessions of a Shopaholic


A truly entertaining movie, Confessions of a Shopaholic tells of a young woman, deeply in debt, who takes a job as a columnist in a financial magazine. She is "stalked" by a debt collector and is finally exposed for what she really is: a shopaholic. After this exposure, she must turn her life around if she wants to fix all the problems she has created.
The great thing about this movie was its use of humor. It sometimes used a very subtle humor and other times was in-your-face funny. Very rarely do I laugh out loud at movies that are considered to be romantic comedies, but this movie was very different. The humor was very deep, well-thought out and mature without using "mature" (inappropriate) subject matter. It was a very refreshing movie that could be enjoyed by people of all ages, especially people who can relate to the main character's love of shopping.
Confessions of a Shopaholic was also a very inspiring movie. It showed how a person can change their life no matter how bad things may seem. That no matter how much trouble a person is in, they can always make things better if they set their minds to it and don't give up. It is hard to find a newer movie with a moral but Shopaholic teaches a lesson that all shoppers must learn: possessions can't make a person truly happy. Finding love and being with friends and family are the things in life that mean the most, not money or clothes.
