Sophie Kinsella’s Rebecca Becky Bloomwood in the best selling Shopaholic Novel series has gained fans all over the world since the debut book introduced in 2000. With such a massive success, it is about time the novels to be adapted into a movie and that time has finally come. The movie would be released in February 2009. I can’t believe it took almost a decade to get this to the big screen but when it happened , P.J. Hogarn (My Best Friend’s Wedding) directed and Jerry Bruckheimer produced. The cast is unexpected yet charming: Isla Fisher (The Wedding Crasher) plays the shopaholic Becky and Hugh Dancy (Ella Enchanted) plays the charming young Millionaire, Luke Brandon.
Expect labels showcasing throughout the movie ala Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada. The 2:23 mins trailer alone can’t leave a Zac Posen dress, Gucci bag and Pucci boots out already. I hope the movie is as hilarious, funny and strong as the books (the movie combines book 1, Confessions of a Shopaholic and book 2, Shopaholic takes Manhattan).
