Women, Stop Be Shoppin'!

I've always thought of Isla Fisher as a smart and funny woman with sharp comedic timing and a good head on her shoulders. WHOOPS. Confessions of a Shopaholic trailer, you guys:

Oh God, ladies. Between Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin you guys have been having a historic year, but I'm pretty sure this movie, even if it bombs, is going to set gender relations back to pre-Bridget Jones levels of sexist condescension. "Oh how cute, she is trying to be professional but in reality she's a bumble-headed compulsive liar with a shopping addiction based on lifelong superficiality deeply rooted in the worst instincts of capitalist society." It is only a trailer, though. The movie probably gets way more The Feminine Mystique.

I see where you are coming from, but the entire time I watched the trailer (it debuted during 90210) I actually thought of the 80s movie, Maid To Order, and it made me want to see it.

I was so sad when I saw this trailer. I love her and now I have to hate her.
