Critics Consensus

This middling romantic comedy underutilizes a talented cast and delivers muddled messages on materialism and conspicuous consumption.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

The film serves as a defense of beauty in the face of moralism, a theme that can never go stale.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Times (UK)

Fisher is a likeable star with a knack for slapstick.

Empire Magazine

It's hardly suspenseful stuff, but the sassy New-York-shopper angle should keep Sex And The City fans happy without patronising them quite so cynically.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

Maybe the movie is a cautionary tale intended to show how we don’t need to spend to be happy. Maybe, but I doubt it, since several scenes describe the ecstasy of shopping and the allure of name brands.

Rated: 2/4

this simple rom-com actually delivers the goods in terms of a positive message for young people that acknowledges the sugar-rush of comfort-shopping

Rated: 3/5

This one's smarter than your average fluffy rom-com but still pretty by-the-numbers fluff all the same.

Confessions of a Shopaholic was a fun and charming watch. The humor landed well, thanks in large part to the lead actress, who really pulled me in with her clever jokes and expressive reactions. While the premise is a bit corny, it’s also undeniably cute and heartwarming. The supporting cast added even more sparkle to the story, making it an overall enjoyable movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
