This is wayyyyyyyyy different than Confessions.

The fashion and maybe job is the same. But it's NOTHING like Cofessions at all, a complete different story.

Unless you're talking about that terrible adaption of the book.

Same could be said of Confessions, Sex and the city, or How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. None of them are very original ideas. It was meant to be a fun movie, not super unique.

Well it was Confessions of a shopaholic meet How to lose a guy in ten days, but the written from a 12 year old version. I only watched the first 10 minutes while browsing from movies on a slow tv day (Hurricane Sandy ruined everything) and this *beep* came up.

I would have actually watched the whole thing cause I was bored and I couldn't come up with any unintelligent movie to unwind and stop my brain completely, but it was too ridiculous for the standards of 7 year old me, so I couldn't go through with it. Who the hell gets a job of 42k in an investment company, with a 3 minute interview, without actually any revelation that she knows anything about the job, the business, the financial world. You get longer interviews than that to fry french fries at McDonalds. I mean, i know this was a tv movie, probably for an audience of young teens dreaming about the fashion world and stuff, but please make it at least a little bit more realistic. Absolutely ridiculous.

I could not expect anything more from Americans.

I am actually angry that I lost 10 minutes of my life. I just watched so I could yell at my computer, but it still makes me angry.

Hillary Duff never was a good actress but at least she used to be cute, and now she's signing on to do this crappy stuff? No matter how badly your career is going, you don't sign on to a production like this, unless you are brain damaged. I don't even care if she gets cast to an Al Pacino film, I'm not watching anything of hers again. I'm out!

Freaking Ridiculous!
