A Manhattan shopaholic (
Isla Fisher) whose buying sprees have buried her in immense debt lands a columnist gig dishing out financial advice in this
Touchstone comedy based on
Sophie Kinsella's series of books.
P.J. Hogan (
My Best Friend's Wedding) directs, with producing duties being handled by
Jerry Bruckheimer.
Rebecca Bloomwood (
Fisher) can't seem to break her habit for making impulsive purchases, and while she's always decked out in the latest styles, her credit card bills are as thick as a telephone book. If
Rebecca could somehow manage to land her dream job at a high-profile fashion magazine, perhaps she could transform what is now a simple addiction into something that could really benefit her professionally. When
Rebecca becomes an advice columnist at a financial magazine published by the same company as her favorite fashion magazine, her fresh approach strikes a chord with readers and she quickly becomes the toast of the town. Meanwhile, her bank account is still bone dry, wreaking havoc on her love life and placing her career in jeopardy. As
Rebecca teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, she gradually begins to reassess her priorities in life.
Joan Cusack,
John Goodman,
Hugh Dancy, and
Krysten Ritter co-star in the
Touchstone Pictures production.
