Confessions of a Shopaholic Trailer

The movie trailer for Confessions of a Shopaholic is finally out! And the movie is slated for release on February 13, 2009, so that will be a Valentine chick flick feel good movie. Can't wait for it to be screened here. Hope we will get the same timing as the States.

Based on the beloved Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, the movie is slightly different as it is not totally true to the series at all. It is set in New York in the movie, unlike in the books where the story is set in England. There are several differences but if you are not a stickler about it, it can be an enjoyable movie.

Based on the trailer, it is funny. The fashion and the goodies are just so tempting. Shoes, clothes, sample sales...shopping is just so in a woman's blood. Sniffing out the best deal and the thrill of the hunt are just intoxicating :p

Synopsis of the movie
Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a sweet and charming New York City girl who has a tiny, little problem that is rapidly turning into a big problem: she's hopelessly addicted to shopping and drowning in a sea of debt. While Rebecca has dreams of working for a top fashion magazine, she can't quite get her foot in the door -- that is, until she snags a job as an advice columnist for a new financial magazine published by the same company. Overnight, her column becomes hugely popular, turning her into an overnight celebrity, but when her compulsive shopping and growing debt issues threaten to destroy her love life and derail her career, she struggles to keep it all from spiraling out of control?and is ultimately forced to reevaluate what's really important in life.

Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy played the leading roles and the movie is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

More information can be found in the official movie site. It is surprisingly sparse that I wonder if this is a low budget movie.
