WOMEN BE SHOPPIN’
09.05.08The movie, based on Sophie Kinsella’s best-selling book, stars Isla Fisher as the adorable, silly, and sassy heroine Becky Bloomwood.
Trailer here. Try not to stab anything.
This character is so “adorable, silly, and sassy” that she runs up massive credit card debt on ridiculous-looking outfits (silly!), then lies about her credentials to land a job at a magazine (sassy!), makes several clumsy mistakes while a cute guy is watching (adorable!), and ultimately finds a husband (inevitable!). That’s the template for every one of these chick flicks: goofy girl works for a big city media outlet, has bad first impression with future husband, hears lecture from sister/mother/friend, ignores lecture, does something stupid that angers future husband, buys ice cream, realizes sister/mother/friend was right, apologizes to future husband in front of onlookers, is forgiven, buys wedding dress. Roll credits featuring the “Feel the Rain on Yo’ Skin” song.


Did robopanda finally kill vince? Awesome.
Oh good, women needed to see that running up credit card debt has a romantic happy ending.
I dunno, I’m only planning on paying attention to the first half of the movie, the part with the rampant consumerism. All that boring talky stuff that happens later distracts me from making my mental shopping list of things I see in the film.
Read My Lips: I would wear Isla Fisher like a hat.
I’ve found the easiest way to deal with women spending way too much on credit cards is to cut them up and throw them away. Then take the credit card, keep it in your wallet, and use it responsibly.
The producers thought Isla would be a perfect fit for this role after seeing her as a crazy meat gobbling whore in Wedding Crashers because shopping and waxing rod are two sides of the same coin.
I wish I had said what Mark It Zero said.
It’s a practice that has gotten me through many, many marriages NOM.
Dr. Steve, I think I need one of your coins. Mine only have the shopping side.
Wedding Crashers is another one of those, “Yeah it was funny, but not that funny, you stupid frat asshole” movies.
Isla Fisher makes me Bloomwood.
It sounds like a very sound fiscal policy. Plus the added bonus of dead chicks. America wins.
Gene, I should have clarified – I meant shopping is for girls and fags who suck penis.
OMG that trailer was hilarious and adorable!!! Oh…wait a sec…yeah, it didn’t load. Helloooo hilarious adorable reflection. I wondered why she had a chocolate milk moustache and was wearing jammies.
On second thought, I do not want your penis sucking fag coin, Dr. Steve. [:-)
If i could strikethrough i would alter “Feel the Rain on Yo’ Skin” to “Feel the sperm on Yo’ hair”.
Tom Cruise tried out for this movie but was rejected when they realized he wasn’t tall enough.
Is speaking ‘Prada’ the same as speaking ‘douchebag’? Either way that guy’s got a taint stab coming.
The Mighty Feklahr watched the clip, and was unfortunately forced to stab something.
Luckily the object stabbed was His fist. The implement used was His dick. DOR SHO GHA!
JUST KIDDING!
He didn’t really watch the clip.
Welcome back Fek. Sorry to hear of your loss.
I’d like to see how “adorable, silly, and sassy” she can be while trying use her earring to pick the lock on her cage.
LOSS??? Just what in the hell do you call a fridge full of home-brew, a single malt 18 year bottle of scotch, and a dead body to a Filmdrunkard?
SEXY TIME!
Hey Fek. Welcome back.
New up, BTK.
I’m going to do a little shopping myself before i watch this for Kleenex, Astroglide, and a cheese grater.
