Bruckheimer and Disney, however, say that "Shopaholic" is not a celebration of the joys of shopping and that the film's protagonist, Rebecca Bloomwood, eventually sees the light and reforms her ways. Hogan, who made the romantic comedy hit "My Best Friend's Wedding," the story follows the adventures of a young journalist in New York who yearns to work at a fashion magazine but instead is hired as a financial advice columnist for a sister publication.
The current TV spots emphasize how after meeting the man of her dreams -- her boss at the money magazine where she works played by Hugh Dancy, another rising star -- Bloomwood realizes that true love means more than a relationship with Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. Jim Gallagher, president of marketing at Disney, said he was confident that "Shopaholic" would play well with audiences who were looking for a light diversion amid these dreary times.
It could also be helped by the built-in "chick lit" readers -- the book series has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide -- who have made films like "Sex and the City" a hit. There is some evidence that people want to see escapist fare to take their minds off their troubles.
During the Depression, for example, some of the most popular movies were madcap comedies and musicals like "Top Hat," with elegant couples such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers decked out to the nines. Hollywood make-believe crashes into real life in 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'. It may seem like the worst possible time to release a movie about overspending, but Disney marketers and the film's producer believe the bleak economic climate could work to its advantage.
