| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanBreathless and petite yet powerfully in-your-face, Fisher combines dizzy femininity and no-nonsense verve in the manner of a classic screwball heroine. She's like Carole Lombard reborn as a tiny angel-faced dynamo. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettIsla Fisher has appeal to spare, but this graceless, witless, unfunny so-called "comedy" does little more than reinforce the worst female stereotypes. |
| Film Journal InternationalSarah SluisCinematic impulse buy that sparkles through its 100 minutes. |
| At the MoviesBen LyonsHere [Fisher] is giving it everything she's got and it's just not enough. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussIsla Fisher [is] as bright a comic talent as anything Hollywood has to offer these days. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThere is so much wrong with Confessions of a Shopaholic -- timing, execution, resolution and moral stance, to name a few -- that it's hard to know where to begin. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerAthima ChansanchaiIf cheesy, feel-good riches-to-reason romantic comedies are yours, this is your fix. It's a harmless indulgence that, like shopping, may make you feel good for the short term, but later you'll need more. |
| Entertainment SpectrumKeith CohenThis sweet and endearing fashionista fairy tale is just what the doctor ordered to take our minds off the current economic crisis. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA triumph of style over lack of substance -- one made human by Isla Fisher and made romantic by the pairing of Fisher and Hugh Dancy. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfShopaholic is a trifle with fangs; a brutally insincere, borderline sci-fi excursion into Prada-packed, "chick-lit" escapism, puffed with shameless abandon by the cast and crew. |
