Confessions of a Shopaholic came out in Feburary to poor reviews.  It was based on two books by Sophie Kinsella.

The Video: B

The video here is good.  The focus is on bright, attractice fashion pieces, consequently the saturation can be distracting in certain places.  This is an acceptable image, but there is nothing to show off here.

The Audio: B

Encoded in DTS-HD, the audio is clear.  But this is a romantic comedy and not alot of use of the sound stange for surround sound.

The Extras: C

Not a lot here, the studio did not put much effort into this release.  There are six behind the scenes featturettes, which focus on the fashion design in the film, the green scarf that plays a big plot point, and few other parts of the movie.  There are deleted scenes most of them were wisley left out, I did like one where Rebecca gets a parttime job at a clothing store, that seemed to fit the rest of the movie.  There is also the standard outtake and blooper reel.  And lastly there are three music videos included Shontelle and Akon’s “Stuck with Each Other,” Trey Songz’ “Takes Time to Love,” and Jordyn Taylor’s “Accessory.”

If you are a fan of this film and the books then I could recommend purchasing this disc.  For everyone else if you are into romatic comedies then just rent this one.
