Critics Consensus

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

Addresses the more serious underlying issue of addiction but in a charming, funny and lighthearted way suitable for younger audiences. Is able to keep the fun of there fashion industry without glamorizing overspending.

Can honestly say I watched this mostly due to Isla Fisher being so damn cute here and a very fine Krysten Ritter as her sidekick(although she's not used quite so much unfortunately). The rest is mostly just some eye roll worthy lameness because it's a romcom with all the usual beats. Meh.

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

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.
