Storline : Directed on a comical note, Confessions of a shopaholic is the story about compulsive buying disorder that Isla Fisher suffers with. The luxury of a credit card and the mega sales on big branded accessories and clothing leave her in a debt that she is unable to pay as she loses her job. In several attempts to get rid of the debt collector, she spins a spool of lies. One lie leads to another, she bags a new job and climbs the ladder of success rapidly only to find herself falling mightily. Her obsession to buy more leads to her best friend getting upset and her boss, who begins to like her treats her as a fibber. The movie ends on a happy note as her boss understands but is completely taken aback by her disorder, which Isla manages to fight out well with the help of her buddies who accompany her in the counseling sessions.
