Confessions of a Shopaholic


I must admit that the moment I heard the title I wanted to see it!  I was sure that this movie was one that would speak to my heart, and I was right!  It was better than a childish movie about a girl who can't control her spending.  While it was full of predictable moments, they were truly adorable.  I have seen it twice and still love it.  The characters are perfect- there is just something magnetic about the role of Rebecca Bloomwood.  
The most enriching thing about this for me, was that I relate.  While I am not up to my eye balls in debt, I still have a problem deciding between want and need.  I usually just decide that if it stays on my mind for more than 15 minutes it must be a need.  I loved the idea of a shopaholics anonymous!  It was a priceless story that makes you think twice about getting to far ahead of yourself.  
I also heard from a good source that the books were amazing.  So as soon as some time clears up, I am going to be reading those. They so
und delightful and are completely different from the movie.  Just a caution to keep an open mind as you know that they won't be just like the movie.
