Continuity mistake: When Rebecca is trying to get her papers out of her bag, Luke holds his hand out for her to hand them to him. The shot changes as Rebecca turns around, and suddenly Luke isn't holding out his hand anymore.
Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)
Directed by: P.J. Hogan
Starring: John Goodman, Joan Cusack, John Lithgow, Kristin Scott Thomas, Isla Fisher
Character mistake: The Finnish businessman says something along the line of "As Scandinavians - we like her". Scandinavia includes Norway, Sweden and Denmark, never Finland (or Iceland); a Finn would know that.
Other mistake: When Rebecca gets back to New York, the cab she's in drives past a couple of billboards, advertising Disney's "G-Force", and the upcoming Bruckheimer produced "Prince of Persia". The billboards were reflected in the window of the cab in perfectly clear focus and correctly as the eye would see, not backwards as they should be as a reflection. (00:53:05)
Trivia: Isla Fisher (who plays Rebecca Bloomwood) admits that she actually hates shopping.
Trivia: In the first book of the series, The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic, Rebecca thinks of Kristin Scott Thomas and how it would be cool to be like her. In this film, Kristin Scott Thomas plays the part of Alette.
Trivia: Even though Joan Cusack plays Isla Fisher's mother in the film, she is only 14 years older than Fisher.
Clerk: [slides card.] Declined.
Rebecca Bloomwood: Can you try again?
Clerk: [slides it again.] Really declined.
Graham Bloomwood: Your mother and I think that if the American economy can be billions in debt and still survive, so can you.
Rebecca Bloomwood: When I was 7 most of my friends stopped believing in magic. That's when I first started. They were beautiful, they were happy. They didn't even need any money, they had magic cards.
