As a young lady who can't say no to a beautiful dress or accessory, Isla Fisher is not to be denied, and her irrepressible comic personality overcomes a number of the film's impediments.
Full reviewCute-as-a-button Isla Fisher (aka Mrs Sacha Baron Cohen) teams up with Aussie director P.J.Hogan (Muriel's Wedding, Peter Pan) to bring us a timely story of a young shopaholic who maxes out her credit card and gets a job at a financial magazine to help repay her bills.

Full reviewThough you might wonder whether there's room in a movie marketplace that already feels overstocked with romantic comedies, Confessions of a Shopaholic arrives fashionably late and dressed to kill.
Full reviewThe end product is surprisingly charmless -- a shrill "Devil Wears Prada"/"Bridget Jones"/"Sex and the City" knockoff that keeps threatening to fall apart at the seams.
