Confessions of a Shopaholic
Sunday, February 15, 2009 @ 9:47 AM
Valentine's day was pretty much different from the previous Valentine's days Ive had ever encountered, Old Folk's Home. A large group of people. Hmm, breaking the spend-with-partner (if you have one) tradition is perhaps not so bad.
Not the whole day in Old Folk's Home, definitely. We went to catch a movie after that.
Of course, if we were to be given list of movies to choose from, Confessions of a Shopaholic would pop into our mind. After all, it is, by the famous author Sophie Kinsella. To be more precise, my all-time favourite author.
Then again, book and movie? How many times have we readers stepped out of a movie theatre feeling like a sour cream, upon discovering that the movie is a far disappointment from the actual book?Well you wouldn't in this one!
Between the scenes, during the movie, my subconscious was just waiting for the disappointment that I would feel everytime I watch a book-to-movie shows. And all the time when I told myself "here it is, here it is," anticipating the dissatisfaction I may face, my brisk beats of my heart seemed to be transformed into a smile.
This is probably the only movie that I felt was up to the standard of the book.
The movie however, is pretty different from the book, Derek Smeath was childish. Rebecca Bloomwood was more mature than the fictional character in the book, and a little bit of unfamiliar details and twists occasionally.
Oh what can I say more?
CATCH IT!
Why do I like this book? Well,,, if you know me, then I would not need to answer this question for you :)
