Confessions of a Shopaholic

In New York City, journalist and compulsive liar Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is an addicted consumer who cannot resist shopping for fashionable outfits in fancy shops and has several unpayable credit-card debts. She dreams of working on the fashion magazine “Alette”, owned by the sophisticated Alette Naylor (Dame Kristin Scott Thomas), but she does not succeed. When Becky loses her job, she drinks a lot of booze with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter) and sends an offensive letter to editor Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy) from the financial magazine “Successful Saving” and an article to Alette to show her potential. However, she unintentionally switches the correspondences in the mailbox and Luke hires her to write a column called “The Girl in the Green Scarf” in his magazine using a simple language and metaphors that could be easily understood by ordinary people. Meanwhile, debt collector Derek Smeath (Robert Stanton) is chasing Becky and she is avoiding him everywhere, saying that he is an ex-boyfriend that is stalking her. When her column becomes a success, Becky is invited to participate on a talk show and she and Luke fall in love with each other. However, her lies and debts put her in a difficult situation with her audience, Suze, and Luke.
