ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Ruizhen Ouyang I know. I know. This film is labelled with, at best, rom-com. But I believe whoever criticizes it is actually secretly in love with it--for Hugh's smile. His smile drives away all the sorrow on the mind and melts away all the ice in the soul. Who can tag a price on such healing power? Or, rate it?

Luxurious I actually tried hard to like this movie, I really did. The thing is, RomComs are generally bad with a few gems. It's super weird since Romance by itself is very good, and Comedy by itself is really good. For some reason, they just can't mesh well together. This is because bad RomComs are either super annoying, or they go from RomCom to a torture porn fest. It's actually unsettling. Without further ado, let's jump into this review.Rebecca is the opposite of Andy from The Devil Wears Prada. She is a girl, who has a passion for fashion, working at some random gardening place with a dream of working for this huge fashion magazine. Unfortunately her job goes to Alicia, and she has to settle for a job at a financial magazine (under the umbrella as her favorite magazine if I remember correctly). The thing is, her job is writing a column about giving people financial advise when she's a shopaholic that's thousands of dollars into debt because of her habit. This movie then turns into a torture porn that doesn't make any sense:Why does Alicia hate her so much? They hardly even met, and as far as Alicia goes, Rebecca is Luke's co-worker. Despite all of that, she literally got pleasure from seeing Rebecca get embarrassed at the event. It's not even logical. Derek, the credit card guy, is being a creepy stalker for no reason what so ever. Why harass her? Doesn't he have a life or any other victims to hunt down? The most disgusting scene was when Derek stalked Rebecca on her show and asked her those humiliating questions about debt on national television. This is when RomComs go from slapstick humor, to full on torture. Nothing is funny about a girl being torn to shreds on national television and having to fight back tears. Take in mind that the only crime in this movie that Rebecca has done is shop excessively and lied, yet she gets more torture than a girl who makes fun of other girls and her own career and a girl that played puppet master to some random girl she just met just to get an ego boost. I'm done.

dierregi What we have here is the modern fairy-tale of Rebecca (played by Isla Fisher, a dependable comic actress). Rebecca is a dizzy, selfish, irresponsible creature but people love her because of her bubbly personality and super-cute face.Rebecca is deep in debt because she buys too much stuff for herself, and when she gets fired she must accept a boring job in a financial magazine to keep her from bankruptcy She gets the job merely on the strength of her looks, because Luke, the guy who hires her, knows from the start that she is a liar.It is very clear that this story has nothing to do with real life, but another level of implausibility is added when we discover that Luke (played by Hugh Dancy) not only is the editor of the financial magazine, but also the heir of a rich family.Could this be another Cinderella-revisited? Yes and no, because Cinderella was a likable character. Rebecca, not so much. She lies to her parents, her friends and her employer, She is an addict in denial and totally unreliable. But still, that bubbly personality and perky figure will save the day for her.Once her lies are discovered, she manages to repay her debt by auctioning her wardrobe and, in a mean twist, repaying her debt in coins so as to annoy even more the bill collector. The collector was only doing his job and I believe all of us, in his place, would have been thoroughly annoyed by Rebecca's behavior.In the movie Rebecca is presented as the cute heroine, who not only save herself on her own, without borrowing from her parents or from her rich boyfriend, but also get offered the job of her dreams – at a Vogue-like magazine – only to turn it down, because she stands on higher grounds than advertising expensive stuff.That is the part that I found more ridiculous and offensive: the fact that a liar like Rebecca is painted as if she has "higher moral standard" than anybody around her… Oh, and she even gets the rich prince, at the end.

Dunham16-540-146590 While the focus of the comedy, the plight of the shopaholic, merely uses downtown New York City as a pretty backdrop when it could easily be set in any western world major fashion center, it is the side plot, the heart of topsy turvy Manhattan, which brings out its charm. Although the plot seems nonsense fluff on the surface, the reason there are more than perhaps ten million city residents who can live in downtown Manahttan but wouldn't,is the truth behind the nonsense side plot of the movie- Folks wealthy enough to send one of their paid army of competent flunkies to arrange their next meal, along with other things, are the ones who become belligerent and testy on take out lines at places such as street hot dog vendors, while sales staff in the highest level world class boutiques might find register transactions declined because the customer is behind in his or her cash under the table rent for an apartment in which he or she is not an identified resident. .
