Just in time for Fashion Week comes a film about a young journalist who loves shopping a little too much, and racks up $16,000+ in credit card debt despite writing the most popular finance column in the world. Is Confessions of a Shopaholic the next The Devil Wears Prada or Sex and the City? Not quite. But the film is nonetheless an enjoyable romantic comedy with a sobering lesson for shopaholics everywhere–and of course, some colorful fashion name-dropping.

Rebecca Bloomwood, played by the talented Isla Fisher, is a journalist who is five years out of college and shopping her way through New York City. She wants nothing more than to work at Vogue Alette, the top fashion magazine at Dantay West, but nearly misses her interview at the magazine because she must purchase an emerald silk scarf on sale. No matter; the position was filled by the “leggy” evil blonde Alicia Billington (Leslie Bibb) in studded Louboutins.

When the gardening magazine she writes for folds, Rebecca lands a job at the Dantay West publication Successful Saving, thinking it’s not long until she’s styling photo shoots at Alette. Slapstick comedy ensues as Rebecca attempts to report on the financial crisis (or “fish crisis” as she mistakenly says during her interview while peeking at a newspaper on the floor) and avoid her stalkerish debt collector, while racking up more Barney’s debt on her 12 credit cards. She, of course, falls in love with her British boss Luke Brandon (played by the adorable Hugh Dancy). Meanwhile, Rebecca wrote an article comparing store-card debt to shoe shopping (or something) and Luke is so impressed that he gives her a regular column called “The Girl in the Green Scarf,” which becomes a worldwide sensation. Of course, the debt–and talking mannequins–follow Rebecca to the point of no return.

Confessions should do for Isla Fisher what The Devil Wears Prada did for Anne Hathaway. The character is funny and charming despite her flaws, and luckily, her lines like, “When I shop the world gets better” and “A man will never love you or treat you as well as a store” induce laughs and come across as satiric rather than just silly in this economy. Nonetheless, the film was missing the wit and smarts of Prada–and included, again, talking mannequins, along with Bibb’s lifeless villian who couldn’t compare to Prada‘s brilliant Emily (Emily Blunt). The glorious fashion of both Prada and SATC is missing, too. While Hathaway’s character Andy Sachs wore stunning, subtle black Gucci boots, for example, Rebecca Bloomwood covets garish red suede Gucci boots and wears a furry orange jacket with a matching beret.

Still, Shopaholic is a cute movie with a cheesy ending that makes you feel the way buying hot pink shoes makes Rebecca feel–“alive and happy and warm.” Not to mention, you might think twice before purchasing those pink Givenchy heels.
