Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) — So I live with my parents now.  That sucks but whatever.  My mom wanted to rent this and did and I don’t know why I watched it with her.  My life isn’t worse for having seen it.  It’s not like I had anything better to do (although I guess I should start that English paper…).  Its profound mediocrity has had no lasting effect on me.  The good: Isla Fisher is adorable.  That Borat is a lucky guy.  Also early on there were a couple of cool establishing shots shot from some neat angles, but only about two and not at all later in the movie.  The talking mannequins were interesting in that I was trying to figure out if it was motion capture or 100% CGI.  I think motion capture but I don’t really know all that much about these things.  The bad: predictable.  That’s about it.  There’s nothing unbearably awful about the film I just really did not give a shit.  The character I liked had maybe two lines in the movie and that was the main character’s best friend’s boyfriend/fiancé who basically just asked “why?” a couple times.  That’s kind of what i wondering when I watched this.  Why?
