  • Summary: In the glamorous world of New York City, Rebecca Bloomwood is a fun-loving girl who is really good at shopping—a little too good, perhaps. She dreams of working for her favorite fashion magazine, but can't quite get her foot in the door—until ironically, she snags a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine published by the same company. As her dreams are finally coming true, she goes to ever more hilarious and extreme efforts to keep her past from ruining her future. (Touchstone Pictures)… Expand

    Breathless and petite yet powerfully in-your-face, Fisher combines dizzy femininity and no-nonsense verve in the manner of a classic screwball heroine. She's like Carole Lombard reborn as a tiny angel-faced dynamo.

    The degree to which Shopaholic actually works is a testament to the looks, charm, and comedic chops of Fisher, who stole "Wedding Crashers" and has a gift for slapstick that places her somewhere between Téa Leoni and Lucille Ball in the pantheon of foxy redheaded physical comediennes.

    A thin, largely unfunny comedy that marries lazy filmmaking with bad timing.

    It's not bad. You have to know what to expect. It's simply a cute movie. You just have to know that, and you'll be fine with it. It's the kind of movie I'd recommend for a rent, or to watch when it comes on tv. Will you be moved to tears or bust out of your chair laughing? Probably not, but if you just want to watch something easy, that you can just sit down and enjoy, this is a good one.… Expand

    Isla Fisher is such a charming actress, she can do better than the material in this movie. The idea behind this film is a good one, but the screenplay just doesn't take advantage of it. It's too routine and predictable. Good supporting cast.… Expand

    The main actor did a decent job with a lousy script and charisma-free supporting actors.
