Brit chick-lit gets a Hollywood makeover in this chirpy rom-com based on Sophie Kinsella’s novels. Rebecca (Isla Fisher) is a compulsive shopper who owes thousands in credit card bills. Unable to win her dream job at a fashion mag, she accepts a less glamorous position in the same building, and proceeds to shake up the world of Successful Saving and its editor, Luke (Hugh Dancy). How long can she keep her shopaholism a secret? It’s hardly suspenseful stuff, but the sassy New-York-shopper angle should keep Sex And The City fans happy without patronising them quite so cynically.
