Confessions of a Shopaholic is a romantic comedy based on the Shopaholic book series by Sophie Kinsella. I haven't read those books and, considering how badly this movie stressed me out, I doubt I ever will.
Rebecca is deeply and horribly addicted to shopping. It's okay if she can't afford any of it – that's what credit cards are for! Except she has credit cards in the double digits, they're all maxed out, and the magazine she currently works for is closing up shop. Collection agencies won't stop calling, and she has 16 grand worth of debt. When Luke, the editor of a financial magazine she drunkenly accidentally sent a sample of her writing to, offers her a job, she takes it because 1) it's money and 2) it could be her stepping stone to Alette, the fashion magazine she has always dreamt of working for. Rebecca soon has chance at both success and romance, but her addiction and lies threaten to destroy all of that.
