Confessions of a Shopaholic

Setting is wrong. Actress is wrong. Flow of events are wrong. How the characters meet each other is wrong. Even the occupations of characters are wrong.

Why did they have to change so many things?! Luke Brandon in the novel, already had his business even before he met Rebecca Bloomwood. =.= I'll just list out the difference..

How did Rebecca meet Luke?
Movie: In a hotdog stand after she found that green Denny & George scarf
Novel: Press conference held by Brandon Communication. The Scarf is grayish blue.
The only thing similar in this is that in both the movie and novel, Luke gave her ₤20 knowing that she's gonna buy a scarf. But in different ways. In the novel, he passed it down the rows of press to get to her. In the movie, he just passed it to her while standing next to her, getting his hotdog.

Movie: Luke didn't know of her existance
Novel: He knows she's a journalist

Movie: No freaking idea what Brandon Comm. is suppose to be
Novel: Brandon Comm. is a financial PR company.

Movie: Luke met Alicia in a lift
Novel: Already his girlfriend

Movie: Bex started in some weirdo nameless company; Luke as an editor in Successful Savings
Novel: She started in Successful Savings; Luke in Brandon Communications obviously its owner

Movie: Susan got married to Tarquin who doesn't match his description in the novel
Novel: Suze got married only in Shopaholic Ties the Knot.

Movie: The one who posts the questions in the press conference is Luke but said by Bex
Novel: Eric Foreman from Daily World was posting the questions

Bah.. There's so many things which are wrong... Oh well~ Can't expect it to be perfect.. =] The main thing is already wrong. The setting was supposed to be in London, not New York. The only british thing in the whole movie is Luke. He's the only English man in the whole damn movie. Bex and family in the movie claims to be English, but obviously, they aren't. =___= They don't even have the accent! =___= Becky wasn't what I expected her to be. Somehow, I expected her to be like the woman on the back cover of the shopaholic books. o_o Oh well~

It wasn't a total waste of my money, but still.. Haih.. I wished they'd gotten everything right. I'll so buy the DVD... T_T Going with my parents was so.. =.= They expect me to laugh softly..=.= Like, thats so not me. Swt.. Whatev~ Anyway, yea.. Watch Shopaholic!! Supportin Sophie Kinsella~~
