I went to see 'Confessions Of A Shopaholic'. Worse, I think I enjoyed it.
I have to give you a bit of context on this: I met up with other interns and we wanted to go to the cinema, and we wanted a comedy. It was on Saturday afternoon, and, well, this was the pick.
But before you get up on me, I thought this film deserves a better press than the trailer elicits. This is not a squeal-a-minute vapid comedy about clothes. Yes, it's styled by sartorial empress of New York, Patricia Field, and there are an awful lot of costume changes.But the storyline actually figures around a young journalist who can't face her credit card bills without a bottle of tequila. She's trying to get a job on a high-octane glossy magazine to pay off her outrageous credit card bills - but someone's told her that if she gets a job on a financial mag within the same publishing house, she can elbow her way in. Refreshingly, she ends up turning her back on the fashion magazine and sticks with her column on 'Successful Saving' because she feels like she's really getting through to her readership there. In the film,you see her going to a Q&A, a media conference and a job interview- I felt like the film was even more about her career than it was the romantic sub-plot. Besides, no editors are ever as cute as Hugh Dancy.
