Confessions of a Shopaholic - a review

I saw Confessions of a Shopaholic today.  I was very curious about this movie, as I've read the whole series of books.  So here's the breakdown (for those that have read the books):

It's a combo of the first 3 books. 

Suze and Tarquie are already together (and their names are still Suze and Tarquie) - but there's no mention of them being cousins, and they're both American. 

Luke doesn't have his own company. 

Becky is American (her parents are played by Joan Cusack and John Goodman) 

Luke however is still British. (and delightfully played by Hugh Dancy)

It's set in New York 

(there are other spoilerish things that I won't share)

OHHH and best of all, there is an Alicia Bitch-Longlegs :) (But Bex and Suze don't know her from anywhere before the start of the movie)

oh, and this annoyed me: Becky is "the girl in the green scarf" instead of "the girl in the Denny and George scarf" which somehow has less zazz to me especially since it IS a Denny and George scarf. 

If you haven't read the books:

The movie makes sense anyhow, and even though the first three books are combined, you won't feel like you've missed something or time has moved too quickly.  (probably because you don't know what you're missing, but then you can always go back and read the books)

anyhow... totally worth 7.75 to see for me (matinee), but probably not 10.
