Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) works in an unpopular magazine publishing company in Manhattan as a journalist and she has a strong urge to shop for clothes, bags and shoes all the time. When she sees a beautiful green scarf which she doesn’t have enough money nor credit limit to buy, she cheats her way into buying all the hotdogs from a man with a check in exchange for cash and hotdogs by telling everyone she needs to buy a scarf for her dying aunt. A man from the street purchases a hotdog and gives Rebecca the $20 dollar she needs to buy the scarf. When she goes for an interview with Alette magazine, she is told that the position has been filled and the person who has taken the position, Alicia (Leslie Bibb) walks by. Rebecca is disappointed but admit Alicia has long legs. As she leaves while telling Allon, Dante West’s receptionist she purposely buys the green scarf for the interview, Allon introduces her to a job at Successful Saving. When Rebecca goes for a job interview with Luke Brandon, the editor of financial magazine Successful Saving, she realizes he is the man from who she had borrowed the money.

Feeling disappointed at not getting the job at Alette magazine, Rebecca writes drunken letters to Alette magazine and Successful Saving, but she has wrongly posted them the one another. Impressed by her "out of the box" thinking, Luke Brandon hires her on the spot and she is given another assignment. Instead of completing the assignment, she goes to a clothes sale and ends up with bags of clothes and shoes. After realizing the expensive cashmere pullover she has bought is only 5% cashmere and the rest acrylic, she writes an article about it and uses an anonymous nickname "The Girl with the Green Scarf" and not long, she becomes an instant hit when readers send letters, TV shows invites her for a talk show and even the boss, Edgar West (John Lithgow) calls in to compliment.

Impressed by her success, Luke invites Rebecca to a conference and an important ball in Miami. In the process of picking up the clothes for Luke for the ball, Rebecca finds out that Luke’s mother is none other than the famous socialite Eleonor Sherman and his parents were divorced when he was young.

During a "Live" TV show, Rebecca is publicly humiliated by the debt collector, Derek Smeath who has been chasing her for the debts for almost a year. Luke is hurt to know Rebecca lies to him all this while but he still finds her as a source of inspiration.

When Rebecca goes back to New York, a debt collector arrives at her doorstep. Her housemate, Suzy (Krysten Ritter) warns her through a phone call and she has to enter her apartment through the backdoor. Suzy recommends Rebecca to join a Shopaholic Anonymous group.

Rebecca decides to sell all of her clothes with the help of the Shopaholic Anonymous participants. She hesitates to sell the green scarf but a blonde woman buys it for $300. With the successful sale, she manages to repay her debt and she turns up at Derek Smeath’s office with the $9,000 she owes all in jar of coins.

Rebecca bumps into Luke in the street and Luke gives her back the green scarf revealing he’s the man behind both bidders and Rebecca ends up working for Luke’s new magazine.

Overall, Confessions of a Shopaholic is quite amusing and Isla Fisher who plays the adorable copygirl in Definitely, Maybe plays her role well. Worth watching for the laughs and the satisfaction is almost like when you shop for something using credit card. The feeling is so complete and happy.

My ratings: 7 out of 10.

Ryan Reynolds and Abigail Breslin in "Definitely Maybe"

Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) is a 30-something father and has a 10-year-old daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) who lives with her mother but is with him once or twice a week. Will is in a midst of a divorce when his daughter questions him about his life before marriage after her first sex-ed class. Will changes the names of the women he had relationship with in order to create a love mystery so Maya has to guess which of the three women is her mom.

Back in 1992, Will is a naively optimistic and aspiring politician who moves away from his college sweetheart, Emily (Elizabeth Banks) from Wisconsin to New York to work on the Bill Clinton campaign. She gives him a parcel and asks him to give it to her friend Summer Hartley (Rachel Weisz), a reporter. At work, Will meets April Hoffman (Isla Fisher), the copy girl for the campaign. Before bringing the parcel to Summer, Will opens it after being persuaded by his roommate only to find it is Summer’s diary. Encouraged by his roommate, he reads it, and comes across pages describing a love affair between Emily and Summer. He visits Summer to bring the diary, and meets her roommate and sometimes-lover, her college professor, a famous writer named Hampton Roth (Kevin Kline). After Will leaves and when he is moving away, Summer abruptly stops him and make-out with him.

April and Will meets outside work as both of them buy cigarettes from the same store. As both of them are smoking, April tells Will that it is her birthday and he offers to help her to celebrate. Instead, April wants Will to accompany her to go to a club as she does not feel like going there alone. When April finds out about Will’s plan to propose to Emily, she volunteers to be Emily so he can practice his proposal. April is taken aback by Will’s words, and replies, “Definitely, Maybe.” They go back to her apartment, where April has multiple copies of Jane Eyre in her collection, explaining that her father gave her a copy with an inscription in the front shortly before he died, and the book was shortly lost, therefore, every time she passes by a bookstore, she will buy a copy of Jane Eyre, hoping to find the lost copy that her father gave her. After their lengthy but empty conversation, Will and April eventually kiss, with Will leaving quickly and berating himself.

Emily visits and Will proposes in the park but he could say a word, Emily turns him down by telling him she slept with Will’s roommate, Charlie back in Wisconsin. Will becomes heartbroken. As time goes by very quickly and Bill Clinton becomes president of the United States, and Will moves up from a toilet-paper man to become speech-writer for a candidate to be Governor of New York. April travels the world, and she and Will become pen-pals and they keep in touch by writing letters to each other. Eventually, with the encouragement of Roth (who is dying), Will and Summer become romantically involved. This ends when she writes unfavorably about the politician Will works for. Will loses his jobs, his girlfriends and his best friend.

Will starts to drink heavily as he hates his job after finding out the president he has campaigned for is involved in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. In a drunken rant, he confesses romantic feelings to April, but in the process, April tells Will that he is a mess and he responds back by telling her to “go to life rehab”.

Will eventually finds the copy of Jane Eyre that April’s father gave her. He goes to give it to her, but decides against it when he finds out that April and her boyfriend, Kevin are living together.

At a cafe, Summer and Will bump into each other and she invites him to a party. Emily, Will’s old ex-girlfriend, also attends the party, as she now lives in New York. They end up reconciling their relationship. Emily turns out to be Maya’s mother and Will’s ex-wife. Will signs the divorce papers served to him without a second thought.

Maya is glad that she figured out the story, but also realizes that her father still has feelings for April, as even though Will changed the names of Emily (Sarah in real life), and Summer (Natasha in real life), he did not change April’s name.

Encouraged by Maya, who wants her father to be happy, Will goes to Brooklyn to find April together with his daughter. The movie ends with Will confessing he held on to the copy of Jane Eyre because it was the only thing he had of hers. Maya and Will go to April’s apartment to reconcile, and the movie ends with April jumping into Will’s arms to kiss him.

Overall, even though Will’s life is depicted as complicated, this is definitely a romantic comedy that you should watch — no maybe. Great film to watch.

My ratings: 8 out of 10.
