Too much of everything

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Blistering performances.

John Goodman and Joan Cusak. Really. When have they ever been in a bad movie. They played second fiddle but they were perfectly wonderful. Isla Fisher was beautiful and funny all at the same time. And this Hugh Dansey. Never heard of this guy before but he was like a young Hugh Grant who I don't care what anyone says, is hilarious. Of course the young and the stupid gave this a bad rating. That is because the only comedy they understand is someone who is dumb. Dumb and Dumber. This is smart comedy with a flare. Good family fun. Just make sure there are some onions around to blame for the tears toward the end.

It's funny and genuine and an overall nice movie to watch. It also teaches a great lesson, which is to be wary of how much you shop. Although I, personally, am the type of person who feels guilty after getting so much as four clothing items, I still really enjoyed this movie and I felt like I could relate to some parts (like when Rebecca explains the thrill of buying something). As someone else mentioned, the CGI mannequins are really impressive and it wasn't something I'd expect from a movie made a whole seven years ago. Also, pretty much all of the characters were enjoyable and I'm glad that the "mean" girl (can't seem to remember her name, but she's blond and tall and described as having "spidery long legs") isn't really as mean as I'd expected her to be. The movie doesn't really put too much of a focus on her which I appreciate because I dislike when movies center on the main character (in this case, Rebecca) having a seemingly endless feud with the main, female villain (in the case, the "spidery legs" girl. Sorry, still can't remember her name). All in all, it's an enjoyable movie and although it's centered more towards females, it can still be a great movie to watch on a family night.

I liked the first Shopaholic book and I was surely not expecting an Oscar winning feature when I hit the play button to start this movie, but it still let me down.Aside from completely unrealistic scenes (e.g. the editor of a major magazine personally going to Becky's parents' house to ask her to write a 500-word column for the magazine), the acting's mediocre and the movie is overall rather pathetic. It's one of those movies that's so bad I felt embarrassed for the actors, many of whom are established talents.It's such a wasted opportunity, it's really too bad.

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'.
