Verdict:

Yet another Chick Flick, Isla Fisher does well in this film and manages to raise a few laughs in the process, a bit silly in places but then most comedies usually are ,and leaning more towards a lower brow audience. One definetly for the girls or some may argue definetly not, it’s a reasonable film, average acting, story is also ok as this film is based strongly on the original book. Some situations in this film everybody can relate to “Credit Card Declined…….Try Again……….REALLY DECLINED” and the Finnish language cop out scene in the trailer are reasonable indicators of what to expect.

Book based films normally are good thats if you haven’t read the book. Starting to get media hyped already pre release. We are leaning to below neutral on this one, box office wise could be interesting our Rating 2 and half stars out 5. A shopaholics must see!
