Review - The Confessions of a Shopaholic

Sunday, April 5, 2009 |




Created from a best-seller novel. This movie is considered as a classical chick-lit. Though I am not that "chick" now, I still enjoyed the movie very well. I went to watch this movie with my female colleagues, the guys didnt want to join us, because they think that this is a "girl movie".


The main character of the movie, Rebecca Bloomwood, is a shopaholic. She always find reasons for her to buy stuffs, she makes excuses to buy things. For some moments, I find myself laughing until there is no sound coming out, haha, this a funny movie.


I particulary like the scene when Rebecca was cought up with so much debt, and she got humiliated in front of national TV, and her dad decided to sell off the truck that he used his life savings to buy it. Rebecca said "Dont sell the truck, it so define you, dad". And her dad replied "Nothing defines me, except you and your mum" That was so touching! It is so true that we sometimes get so brand concious that we think we can only use certain brands that define us.


I used to like branded stuffs a lot. But since I started working, I realised that earning money is not easy, and coincidently, recession happens! It is not a good time to do a lot of spendings, and I should start saving money now.
