A slave to fashion, addicted to plastic cards

To buy or not to buy? That is the question as Rebecca Bloomwood looks upon a lovely sheer green scarf. Well it was worth buying 94 hotdogs to Bloomwood, but the stranger behind her in line wanted a hot dog more than anything, so Luke Brandon was nice and just gave Bloomwood the amount she was short. It was the last thing Bloomwood expected from a stranger to just give her the money she was short for the lovely green scarf.

This movie was laugh-out-loud and worth seeing over again.”Confessions of a Shopaholic” was released to theaters on Feb. 13. The audience was slim to none in the Hollywood 10 theater this past Thursday night, but for just having about 10 people it seem like the theater was packed full.

Bloomwood played by Isla Fisher and Brandon played by Hugh Dancy both were very well played and seemed to portray the characters very well.

If the boys are trying to score some brownie points with the ladies, this would be the movie to take them to. It is a comedy, a romance and a drama all wrapped up into one. The girls are sure to love it. It. The movie was made with girls in mind but the boys will sure like it too. They would find most of the events that occur in the movie to be funny.

The film brings feeling of sadness, while Rebecca Bloomwood is making a go of a life she wants. With her parents always trying to save all the money they can. Bloomwood becomes a shopaholic. As soon as she walks by a store’s display window Bloomwood is pulled inside. She has trouble admitting to it, but when she does, she is taking the cluttering out of her life without trying to hide it from everyone she has been trying to impress. It reminded me of when walking through the mall you here people shouting I want this I want that, but people don’t always indulge in what they want.

The movie it has its ups and downs between laughter and sadness but it keeps the whole thing interesting. The relapse Bloomwood has is funny in one sense, but in the other she is just piling the debt higher and higher. Losing one job does not help and trying to find another is the plan. Bloomwood works hard, but she thinks only of herself and tries to get around the debt that she has built up. I think it would have worked better for Bloomwood if she thought first about others.

There is a time in every college student’s life to think about money. The way in which Bloomwood is spending money makes any college student envious. The way in which she begins to fix her problem is probably not the best solution.

With Bloomwood’s frenzy to own everything that her magic plastic cards could buy her, she hurts those who love her most. By the end of the movie she realizes she has hurt the people that most cared about her and begins to fix what she can.

This movie will have everyone laughing and wanting to see it again. It makes a perfect ending to a bad day. Just make sure you have the money before you go see it, or before you know it, you’ll be a slave to those magic plastic cards too.
