Cute rom-com. Suitable for all ages. Feel-good movie.

I really don't know where to start. I guess I should've listened to my gut instinct and the voice of reason, but a friend of mine convinced me that this might be a fun little movie. Well he couldn't have been more wrong.

Because this was anything but fun. It's over the top acting (let's accept that),but it's also a very weak script. If you're looking for jokes ... well don't hold your breath! This might lead to serious injuries. Seriously though: It's not only that you can see the "jokes" coming, you can't call them that.

But even if you lower yourself and succeed into coughing up a smirk, this won't really help that much. The main problem of the movie, is it's theme. It's criminal how the subject matter is treated. There is no acceptance by the character of her wrong doings, there is a mistreatment of the debt collector (we're talking major here) and in the end nothing really happened. Well actually something happened: You lost valuable time, that you won't get back. But the end of the movie ... the moral craziness ... it's just unbelievable, I still can't wrap my mind around it! But I'm glad I wrote about it ... case closed!

Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a hopeless shopaholic. When she loses her hated magazine job, she gets another one in a financial magazine which she knows nothing about. Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy) is her new boss. She tries to juggle her lies, her shopping addiction, and escape her debt collector.

Isla Fisher is cute and fabulous. This movie treats a very serious problem with cuteness. She almost gets away with it. The debt collector is never truly menacing. The lies she tells Luke are ridiculous. It's stupid how she could ever get the job unless he wanted to bang her. They should have introduced the girlfriend earlier so that the rom-com could take a more central role. And the shocking confrontation with the debt collector could have easily spun into something great for the magazine. That part never made much sense. This is a light fluffy comedy without much of an edge.
