Confessions of a Shopaholic - review

OK, so we've found a rom-com that doesn't quite as much of an enthusiastic thumbs-up. But I did enjoy it.

Isla Fisher has come a long was since Summer Bay, and is certainly a very likeable presence on-screen (even in the detestable Wedding Crashers). Her slapstick comedy is not exactly on the realistic side of things though, and there's only so many deliberates (as opposed to accidents) that one can swallow over two hours.

Every single rom-com cliché is present and correct, right down the public humiliation scene. But this is no Devil Wears Prada, and I suspect even Meryl Streep couldn't rise this material above the mundane.

That said, I had fun.

6/10
