Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)

Cast: Isla Fisher (Rebecca Bloomwood), Hugh Dancy (Luke Brandon), Krysten Ritter (Suze), Joan Cusack (Jane Bloomwood), John Goodman (Graham Bloomwood)

For complete info on the amazing cast, see IMDb's Confessions of a Shopaholic page.

It's not often that I enjoy the movie version of a book more than I liked the book. However, I think Confessions of a Shopaholic was a better movie than book. I enjoyed the book a lot and read it quickly, but when making the movie they seemed to make all the right choices of what to include in the movie and what to leave on the cutting room floor. The extras on the DVD revealed that some of the scenes cut from the book had been filmed, but got cut.

Isla Fisher is a wonderful actress and she does an excellent job of bringing Rebecca Bloomwood to life in a way that makes you absolutely adore the character. If you didn't read the book, this movie is a great romantic comedy - very well done. If you did read the book, they did a wonderful job bringing the book to the big screen. Either way, I highly recommend renting Confessions of a Shopaholic. It's a fun movie.

Grade: B+
