ay recognize the name since it started as a bestselling book like most movies. I read the first book(there's five I believe) and actually didn't like it! I couldn't wrap my head around the problems facing the main character, Rebecca Bloomwood- she's completely addicted to shopping, to the point that she's majorly in debt and running away from debtors. However, when I saw who would be playing Becky- Isla Fisher- I could suddenly imagine it all! She's perfect for the role and totally does it justice! Ironically, she ends up getting a job at a financial magazine and becomes known for her ability to relate to the average woman and explain difficult financial matters. Of course, there's the studly boss added into the mix! There are a few creepy moving mannequins, but the outrageous dancing and cuteness of Fisher block that out. We were actually afraid that all the funny parts had been shown in previews, but there was plenty more! If you haven't read the book, don't worry! It doesn't seem to make a difference one way or the other. In fact, it seems that they've melded the first two books together to make the movie, or so my sister thinks.All in all, it's a total chick flick based on fashion and romance (though I was laughing out loud at certain parts that I can't believe some guys wouldn't enjoy) that I loved! I'd give it 4 1/2 stars (half a star being taken away due to the lack in guy appeal...)!
