Thanks to Hollywood Blvd. Cinema, Bar and Eatery in Woodridge , IL and my good friend Shari, I saw a sneek preview of the upcoming film Confessions of a Shopaholic. The film stars Isla Fisher, Hugh Dancy and a great supporting cast.
This film was inspired from the pages of #1 Best Selling NY Times author Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series. Although, I have not had the pleasure of reading Sophie’s book prior to the movie I am now a fan and can’t wait to get to them. The fact that I hadn’t read the books did not diminish from my enjoyment of the movie. I recommend this for a girls night out or a date night movie.
24/8 is going to be unveiling a book giveaway this week for the movie tie in edition. Don’t forget to stop back if you want to read the book as much as I do and be sure to bring a friend. A special thanks to our friends at Random House for making this possible.
There is a really creative movie site on Blue Fly for this movie you will not want to miss, http://www.bluefly.com/media/promotions/flash/shopaholic/main/shopaholic.html. Kudos to the designer of this page. You can learn more about the movie and the cast and crew. Shop for the lead character’s looks too. Remember Hollywood there is a reason you need authors to write these wonderful books because they are certainly the basis for many a blockbuster.
For everyone else not lucky enough to see an early screening of the movie it will be at your local theater this coming Friday, February 13, 2009.
