Sure, thought you might be sorry you asked since most of the reviews I found for Confessions of a Shopaholic were not favorable. The Canadian Press summed up the film, "Review: 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' feels like a knockoff"

Reviews have been mixed:

Reuters http://uk.reuters.com/article/filmNews/idUKTRE51A8E520090211
"a shrill "Devil Wears Prada"/"Bridget Jones"/"Sex and the City" knockoff that keeps threatening to fall apart at the seams."

MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29143223/
"“Confessions of a Shopaholic,” a misbegotten bauble that’s all zircon."

Kentucky.com http://www.kentucky.com/695/story/692586.html
"not suitable for 12-and-unders"

EW.com http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20258447,00.html?iid=top25-Movie+Review%3A+Confessions+of+a+Shopaholic
"Yes, Shopaholic is Bridget Jones meets SATC, but the film is weirdly liberated by barely having the pretense of, you know, a plot. It's just a moonstruck whirl of parties and buying sprees, with a few very funny Shopaholics Anonymous meetings thrown in, as Rebecca works to get control of her obsession. From its talking storewindow mannequins to its sneaky debauched heroine, the movie is romantic-comedy fizz, but it's fizz that bubbles like champagne"

Those seem less "mixed" and more "unfavorable," to me. :P
