Credit Card Menace

Another rom-com to grace the silver screen. Written by Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of a Shopaholic is a soft romance background on the world of magazines.

A compulsive shopaholic that buys anything that is branded fell into debt and is at the mercy of debt collectors. When the company which hired her folded, she had little choice but to find a job to pay off her debts.


So, as in most comedy of errors, her letters to two companies got mixed up and the fun began. Her love of fashion and the credit card made her a writer that became famous with the finance news magazine; which gave her a special column to write on.She took on the moniker, "The Girl with the Green Scarf", to provide advice to readers.

Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy stars in this movie. Quite funny in parts but mostly mushy.

The saving grace of the movie is the quirky romance between the main leads.


I guess the movie is all about the coming of age of Isla Fisher in Hollywood. Like Amy Adams, she will definitely go places.
