"Confessions of a Shopaholic": A Haiku Poem Movie Review


Is the shopping mall
where you purchase a new self?
Or where you get lost?

Fans of Devil Wears Prada,
Legally Blonde and Clueless
will enjoy this film.

Fisher is charming in
Light look at heavy issue—
the perils of debt!

I laughed at Becky's
Passion for sale shopping
Because it was me!

A gentle push for
finding oneself through hard work—
laughing all the way!

Confessions of a Shopaholic stars scene-stealer Isla Fisher as Becky, a shopping-addicted journalist whose crippling credit card debt forces her to take a job at a financial advice magazine. See more reviews here.

  2. I especially like the first one:
    Is the shopping mall
    where you purchase a new self?
    Or where you get lost?

    Perhaps they're one and the same.

  3. Where is my comment??? I'm really mad at your blog now. Yesterday I was the first to comment. I wrote a nice note about how I want to both read this book and watch the movie. BUT when I went to submit it a stupid pop up ad took over the screen and erased my comment. I was ticked, so I wrote new comment explaining my frustration at the ad. Where is that comment now? Seriously, are you telling me that it didn't take that comment either? What the heck???

  4. I don't know but I figured out to disable the between page ads so it shouldn't happen anymore. Sorry!

  5. Another feeble haiku attempt:
    I liked all those films
    I should get the DVD
    Have you read the book?

  6. I like your haiku! I have not read the book, though I have heard it spoke of favorably.
