Confessions of a Shopaholic 2009 by AverageMansReviews
Review Time
Warning:
there is flashing effects/colourful effects/addiction/reference to
harassment/there will be some censored adult language reference in this content
Well this is just horse manure!: Briefly; we meet Rebecca Bloomwood/other name [Younger: Madeleine Rockwitz/Older: Isla Fisher:] as she provides narrations/storyteller about her younger self and where her obsession/addiction to clothing and accessories began fast-forward many years she is a journalist and as the title may suggest a full blown shopaholic, she loses her job in thousands upon thousands of debt and yet somehow end up Successful Savings; in the world of finance and all of that.
Generally speaking: the storyline/script is both predictable and beyond
awful which basically makes it predictably beyond awful, I mean come on people
this film roughly goes on for 112 minutes and for the vast, vast like miners
may be the last 25 minutes where she basically does this hitting rock bottom
coming-of-age thing where on top of that she gets a person back or/and really
wants in her life, so in essence let me get this right should completely
screwed up and in my opinion doesn't the basics to grow but nowhere enough and
yet she ends up better off without facing any major consequences; honestly this
is fudgin' stupid storyline/scrip and character developments.
I
mean as I have already referenced minus say the last 25 minutes of this movie [then it just gets into the routine/flow of having some purpose about it with good pacing; but I digress;] the framework and pacing including the comedy is by far heavily insufferable;
as there isn't much happening or/and the framework and pacing is very slow; the
point where you will feel every second pass, because the comedy outlay is skit
scene either verbally or physically or both or other there is no major punch to
them, they come off either incredibly goofy or incredibly clumsy or either way
it is not funny; the only comedy that was of high quality and imaginative with
by far the best character developments that this movie has the author; is where
from in Rebecca's psyche these mannequin can move and talk; the first time it
is marvellous all the way around including artistically, but right towards the
end of the movie bringing back the mannequins; this time feels like
self-indulgent congratulations to your own psyche which definitely comes off as
a hot steaming pile of manure as at this time; from me; she is not a likeable
character whatsoever, so what you were able to give up shopping but for you to
learn you had to constantly lie and your own life first, now you are relying on
ourselves to basically give yourself a pat on the back using your own psyche...
you are aware that makes you sound like a psychopath right?....
Character
developments and performances; on both counts all I can say is this; if this is
what they wanted they absolutely struck gold here? So based this I would say
broadly speaking performances are a good representation of their character
types and regardless of how insufferable they actually come off as.
This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; to be brutally honest with you
this film is completely and utterly missable, the only reason I watched it; is
because it was on one of my stacks of content to watch, at the beginning of the
closing credits there is extra sequence. Yet somehow this film has some awards
accredited to its name such as 1 Winner ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards
ASCAP Award Top Box Office Films James Newton Howard Shared with: Duplicity and
3 Nominees which includes but not limited to Teen Choice Awards 2009 Choice
Movie Actress: Comedy Isla Fisher
