It's 104 minutes long, but it felt like it was three times longer than Lawrence of Arabia.

Yeah, it really did feel like it was that long. I kept squirming in my seat and nodding off. I kept checking the time on my DVD player and kept sighing in disbelief.
For starters, this film is just plain boring. Everything about it bored me: the recycled plot devices, the uninteresting characters, the unimaginative dialogue, the clichéd scenarios, everything. It was just extremely un-enjoyable (I know that's not a word but it's the best way I can describe this movie).
I kept it from receiving a one star rating because you can tell the actors/actresses are trying really hard to make the film at least watchable. Sadly, we are let down and it's not their fault.
It's really just got a dumb plot as well: a working class girl keep spending and can't stop and end up being in debt. There's really more to that than just that sentence, but I don't want to bore you.
What's really embarrassing (and yet subtly intriguing) is that Entertainment Weekly's film critic Owen Gleiberman gave this film an A- rating. That puzzles me because I really couldn't see how he could give this movie that much praise and give so many others such crap (I won't name the titles for the sake of argument).
Oh, and by the way, I wasn't dissing on "Lawrence of Arabia" in my summary. That's actually one of my favorite movies. I was just comparing lengths. I could watch "Lawrence of Arabia" over and over again whereas it would take me hours just to watch "Confessions of a Shopaholic" because I would have to keep pausing and getting up to do something else for a little while then reluctantly returning to my seat to finish watching. No one should feel like that.
Bottom line: movies about clothes suck (The Devil Wears Prada, Confessions of a Shopaholic, etc.).
