Confessions Of A Shopaholic
Chick-flick fluff by numbers starring Isla Fisher as a woman who can't stop spending. Based on the pastel-coloured chick-lit book by Sophie Kinsella, the action has moved to New York (instead of London). A lightweight, shallow story but worth watching for the strong cast, which includes John Lithgow, Lynn Redgrave and Joan Cusack. Isla Fisher's natural flair for comedy makes Shopaholic watchable, and her slightly pathetic character, likeable. Directed by Muriel's Wedding's PJ Hogan.
Anvil! The Story Of Anvil
