This clip alone has put such a horrible taste in my mouth about the making of Confessions of Shopoholic into a movie. Also, it is the completely wrong casting. Just because Isla Fisher is from Australia, doesnt mean she is appropriate to fill an English woman's role. Just because someone has an accent, doesnt mean its the correct one at hand.
I have been such a devoted Sophie Kinsella reader for years and I am dreading the masacre of a movie they created from her novels. Most of all, I'm disheartened by the fact that Ms. Sophie agreed to the terms of this movie. It seems as though it was the first offer she received for the novels and jumped on the opportunity. Which, I'm sure would be difficult to turn down, but there needs to be a sense of self when it comes to such a life-altering mass-media impression you give to the world.
I will, of course, see the movie (I couldnt call myself a devoted fan if I did not), but there will be on-going judgement and Isla will definitaly be working from opening scene to closing curtains to win my approval.
