Confessions of a Shopaholic is an 2009 film adaptation of the novels The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic (Confessions of a Shopaholic in US) and Shopaholic Abroad (Shopaholic takes Manhattan in US) by British chick lit author Sophie Kinsella, using the novel’s American title Confessions of a Shopaholic. It is directed by P. J. Hogan and stars Isla Fisher as the central character, Rebecca Bloomwood. It is currently in post-production and is set to be released on February 13, 2009.
A college grad named Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) moves to Manhattan to nurture her shopping addiction and get involved in the New York magazine world. Though she is up to her neck in debt, she becomes a financial-advice columnist and even manages to fall for a wealthy entrepreneur.
Based on the books “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “Shopaholic Takes Manhattan” by Sophie Kinsella. Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a 25 year old who lives with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter) in Suze’s flat (paying her friend rent that is well below market value), in a trendy part of town. Rebecca has a very boring job writing for a financial magazine. She has a shopping addiction and her crap job doesn’t pay enough.
Her bills are piling up, so she tries cutting back (complete fiasco), then she tries making more money (another fiasco). Eventually, Becky discovers a story that she is truly invested in. Exposing the story gets the attention of a (male, need I say more?) colleague that she hasn’t quite figured out yet. Some drama ensues as she snags the hot guy, and she attempts to pay off her ever-growing debt.
Filming took place in New York, Connecticut, and Florida from February to May 2008. Re shoots took place in New York City on December 4th & 8th, 2008, to change the ending of the movie due to sensitive reasons, and to reflect the current financial situation.
