Critics Consensus

This middling romantic comedy underutilizes a talented cast and delivers muddled messages on materialism and conspicuous consumption.

The film serves as a defense of beauty in the face of moralism, a theme that can never go stale.

Fisher is a likeable star with a knack for slapstick.

It's hardly suspenseful stuff, but the sassy New-York-shopper angle should keep Sex And The City fans happy without patronising them quite so cynically.

Maybe the movie is a cautionary tale intended to show how we don’t need to spend to be happy. Maybe, but I doubt it, since several scenes describe the ecstasy of shopping and the allure of name brands.

...critics carped, but audiences enjoyed this simple rom-com which actually delivers the goods in terms of a positive message for young people that acknowledges the sugar-rush of comfort-shopping...

This is one of the movies that actually deserves a sequel to explore the other themes within the movie. Which in this case is the overcompensation and lack of financial education, and how the cooperate decives us.

I love this movie. I love this plot. It’s amazing and it’s really funny but I know it’s not really that important for the movie but I feel like some of the outfits could’ve been better.The

I mean it def got laughs out of me but yeah the movie was incomplete. There are so many things just left unfinished, like the overconsumption, the materialism. She is classy, fashionable and have a way with words and you are telling me that the magazine that is HIGH on fashion and well… words didn’t hire her because then they wouldn’t sell 🙄 That brings me to the second point: her support group or whatever it was, useless and unnecessary. And I wouldn’t say it’s a rom com - just a com com Because there was literally no bonding between them. It was just ee-aa-oo and then they’re shooming. In the end she’s broke but happy- uhm no thank you.🙂‍↔️

Lightweight and mindless, and the slapstick was ridiculous. But if you need to shut your brain off for a couple hours, this movie will do the trick. Otherwise, skip it.
