Based on the novels by Sophie Kinsella, P.J. Hogan's "Confessions of a Shopaholic" stars Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood, a New York City girl who decides to change her life and face her huge debt. I hear the books are funny, but what do the Web's critics have to say about the film?

• Katey Rich at CinemaBlend: "There's lots to look at, between Patricia Field's gonzo costumes and Dancy's sparkling blue eyes, but nothing to feel in Shopaholic, other than a deep regret that we ever thought this kind of lifestyle was funny, much less admirable."

• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "The film gets a "D-" because I had maybe one or two chuckles and I felt like being kind, but don't take that slight bump to mean anything more."

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "Director P.J. Hogan who made such a remarkable breakthrough with the lovely 'Muriel's Wedding' seems to have sold his soul to the devil himself, producer Jerry Bruckheimer."

• Kevin Carr at FilmSchoolRejetcs: "Fisher makes this movie work, and she’s proving herself as an adorable screen presence, likely to be the next Reese Witherspoon. Fisher’s goofy attitude makes the fluffy story bearable, and her knack for comedy works, at least in the first part of the film."

• Collider's Matt Goldberg: "The film's other weakness is the runtime. There's just no reason for the film to be almost two hours long and there are some scenes that aren't bad but could easily have found the cutting room floor without weakening the rest of the picture."
