i have not watched "Confessions of a Shopaholic" before and with that low rating i do not think that i will watch it. "what sets the film apart is it's portrayal of shopping addiction as a source of cheap laughs rather than a serious and debilitating impediment to one's future" i totally agree specially that "While it aims to highlight the dangers associated with living beyond one’s means, it inadvertently glorifies materialism by allowing Rebecca to effortlessly resolve her financial woes and achieve career success despite her irresponsible behavior". good article well done
