Why confessions of a shopaholic is one of the best romcoms of the early 2000s!

Now many of you probably think the statement I've just made is highly subjective, which it maybe. HOWEVER, I have curated some points to support my argument; and if you make it to the end of this post it might change your mind as well.

This 2000s romcom is set in NYC. The iconic yellow taxis, the hotdog truck in the middle of the bustling streets, passerby's strutting down the path in their new season Chanel bags, it doesn't get better than that?

We cannot deny that Isla Fisher is a gorgeous lady, I mean I don't think there's a scene where her hair doesn't look like something out of a Pantene commercial. She's the epitome of struggling journalist with a knack for fashion, which is the whole point of the plot right? And don't get me started on Hugh Dancy! He is the right amount of dreamy without being overly attractive that it's kind of creepy (if you know what I mean). The chemistry between the characters just has you clutching the comforter. I know many people think the storyline is cliché or predictable but isn't that the beauty of romcoms? A comfort film that doesn't cause minor heart ache by the end.

Fisher's character battles through a shopping addiction that starts to take over her life. Now when was the last time you scrolled on instagram or twitter and not stumble upon an advert for a clothing company? I surely couldn't tell you. And this isn't me calling you all shopaholics (which it may be true for some), but a lot of the younger generation is hyper fixated on what the new fashion trend is or how to fit in. Maybe this film can help many of us realise there is more to life then buying that new bag or those shoes you saw in the window.

Giusto per ricordare quanto i film ignoranti dei primi 2000 fossero squisitamente belli e ancora oggi siano spanne sopra a tanti tioli #roadtrip #2000sfilms #stiffler #seannwilliamscott #ignoranzainfinita #lovethisfilm https://www.instagram.com/p/B0x4PfCIv74/?igshid=d9urp4fbkbkb
