Guide Review - Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) on Blu-ray
Confessions of a Shopaholic is a romantic comedy which, despite having lots of fashion, silliness, and fun as well as a PG rating, is more suited for adults. The movie contains some mild language, drinking (including ones scene in which the main character gets drunk), and bad behavior (mostly lying). The movie tells the story of a young woman, deeply in debt due to her love for shopping, who turns into a big hypocrite when she gets a job writing for a financial magazine and tries to hide her unfortunate flaw from the man of her dreams. Fashion and romance -- Confessions of a Shopaholic is the quintessential "chick flick."
The Blu-ray edition of the movie looks great on screen and offers a few short but fairly interesting (if you're into fashion) bonus features which focus on the fashion and the shopping locales featured in the movie.
Since the movie is based on a best-selling book series (popular with young adults), I was surprised that there isn't a feature about the original books or the author. The female, young adult crowd who would be most likely to buy this movie may be interested to know about the book series as well.
