Starts off with a very nice note about credit cards and how handy they are and how we spend so much shopping just because of this magic card...the credit card.
This movie has a very cute lead pair in the form of Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy. The director P.J Hogan has done full justice to the script, but since the script was a little too predictive, it wasn't that different. However, some scenes are definitely enjoyable like the one when Rebecca and Luke are in a ball dance and Rebecca has no clue about ball dancing. Another one worth mentioning is the one at the meeting of shopaholics to try and cure themselves and Rebecca ends up convincing each and everyone present there that shopping like your addicted to it, is not wrong.
The movie starts off very well, and showing rooms full of clothes and accessories to go with them at the victims house. The after effects of overusing the credit card are also well highlighted. The part where Rebecca is supposed to speak in Finnish when she knows nothing of the language is impractical and can be attributed to luck alone, which is non-existent.
As far as the acting goes, Isla Fisher and Lrysten Ritter have done a fantastic job. The rest of the cast have also played their parts well, but its these two who steal the show.
The trial to fit in a romantic story didn't go very well, as there was not much scope for their love story to develop. It appears as if a usual story was picked up and squeezed through the main plot. The movie would have definitely survived without the love story.
So, as far as the watchability of this movie goes...I would say it is definitely seeable since its a short movie of one and a half hour. But, its definitely not a must watch.
